Good shot of a sailor at la perouse.
It was nice at Kyeemagh too, 6 or 7 people in the water when i arrived. All gone within an hour... Then two more courageous joined me. The chop sure wasn't pretty. 
Here are some photo Young Pete took of the Long Reef session - swell was quite small and stayed that way (except for the wind which kept gaining strength!)
longy was nice and smooth & good to see plenty out. certainly fully powered on a 4.7!
Had 40 minutes on lake Illawarra around 11.30, was pretty strong wind gusts at times
well smooth anyway compared getting out to makaha from brownwater earlier, which was a real struggle. A bit too offshore and v gusty.
Out at Longy about 3.15 until 4.30. 4.0-4.2 would have been ok but only 76lt board so almost maxxed but fine 
.
prob good today, 20 knots and a bit of swell.
looked at Makaha but it looked like there was zero swell getting in. yup... today should be ok at Makaha. Anyone get out?
Makaha, was a dumb choice. I thought there would be more NE swell getting in (or south swell as it swung around more). The waves were small & it was a good angle, the wind was just too strong & too gusty.
I thought Longy would be wild but turned out to be bloody good.
