Beautiful swim this morning. We’ve lost the sun at Shelly beach for the winter now 🙁
After drop is back ! It’s a technical term of course… After drop is when you feel quite fine after the swim until you get to coffee and then you feel the cold… 🙁

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr indeed. Lovely in the water but its the after drop that gets you. That crisp cool southerly coming straight off the Snowy mountains!!
Still it was a lovely swim this morning. Swell at about two inches, reasonably clear and at nearly 21c, just ideal to swim hard. Also with only 40 swimmers or so, you didn’t feel like you were sharing a lane with anyone.
A little bit of sun and it would be as good as it gets.

My very favourite two inch swell this morning !! Let’s hope it’s the same tomorrow morning……

Don’t worry your highness. The swell will be 3.2m but will be totally south, so it should be exactly the same as today.
