It was quite an electrical storm last night but that brought a change in wind direction so much calmer than recent days. There were still a few big sets and a high tide which meant a long swim in from the point. Some of us opted for the half way option and although the bay...

Happy Monday guys!! The sun was out but the surf was big & messy. I still enjoyed my rough swim over with the 6.30am Drinks crew, and thanks so much to Simon for saving me as we swam back (we were definitely getting too close to the rocks there!)   19.6 but still felt a...

Yes it is warm in bed but get up and get the beach! Hundreds have learned the secret that all you have to do is just get to the beach and then you are glad. People were swimming at 6 and 609 and about a thousand people were swimming at 630 and then different numbers...

Happy St Andrew’s Day to all the Scots and descendants of Scots A wee bit then about the famous Proclaimer Song ‘ I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles) As Scottish as Irn Bru and deep fried pizzas. There can’t be too many souls in Scotland who don’t know all the words to this one. I’m Gonna Be...

An absolute stunner of a swim this morning! Our favourite corner was flat and calm, sun was out and water temp was up to 19.5! But more than that… it was clear and we were greeted by loads of Luderick, Blackfish, Stingarees and Gropers as we swam towards the point! I was lucky enough to...

    The Corso 6am and 2 girls push their silicon butts at an Instagram photo. The sky was dull, and hypothetical and falling one cloud at a time. It could have been the Willie Nelson, could have been the wine…   The 609 Drinks Rebel Express pass me on the ramp, flanking the Gladiator...

Wednesday 23rd November – is it the luck of the Irish and the return to the fold of Irish mermaid Ciara Gaffney that Mother Nature brought us (almost) fabulous swimming conditions today?    Even the Palmie surf boat chose our beautiful bay to train in the golden morning light !   The tumult of the...

Today Sue Marinan hit her 7000km swim. Not surprisingly, she’s in the number 1 spot and seems like she must spend more time in the water than out to achieve that. Congratulations and well done! Almost perfect conditions for it. Greg and Sue preparing for the celebration tunnel.       Michael, Al, JK and...
