Winter was real this morning - single figure temperatures recorded up the hill at Terrey Hills!!  The freezing sand was no place for bare feet used to walking around the coral sands of Fiji - the only place to stand barefoot was in the water where it's still a balmy 22 degrees.  That's 10 degrees warmer than the air temp at first light.  Better in than out! There a couple of fun little waves around this morning. 1-2ft of logable East swell and it may even improve a touch as the tide pushes in.

Yesterday was one of those historic days at Teahupoo.  You've probably already seen some of the pictures filtering in on social media but here's  Surfline's take on day one of the swell.  Check out photo #19 for some behind the scenes madness!
