The clock above the surf club is off. Maybe it is just a fault or maybe it is a sign that we should not worry about the time but just enjoy the moment. Whoever swam in the ten out of ten conditions today would have been in the moment because it was a very nice...

Lovely atmosphere down at the swim today. Sally Stobo’s birthday so a big turn out from ‘The Mermaids’! A beautiful swim with calmer conditions, avoidable Jellies and that nasty rip has gone!

Howzit and Siyabona It’s been a while apologies for missing a few I’m sure you’ve missed the Safferisms 🙂 This week has seen a strong rip in our corner. It wasn’t all a ripping good time as swimmers battled against it coming in. Another thanks to those who helped our dear Bin in when she...

It felt like an autumn morning, being a bit cooler and the rain held off but the rip was roaring, even more so than yesterday. It looked fairly calm but you needed to swim very wide to get back in, although we did watch some who got in after looking like they weren’t moving for...
