May 18 11 In Byron Bay Today

Wintery, In Byron Bay Today. It's not officially winter time yet, although it's getting close. But it sure did feel pretty wintery, in Byron Bay today. The swell was sizeable yet coming straight out of the south. Therefore most of it just kept on motoring up the coast; the wind was cold, blustery and stubbornly sitting at that exact point on the compass, that's not really quite right for anywhere in particular. Or at least not until about an hour before evening when it finally swung into a more favourable direction. The rain just kept on coming in heavy intermittent squalls, and so yes wintery was most definitely a word that often sprang to mind for many in the bay today. That's not say it didn't have moments, it did. At times it was joyously sunny with stunning scenery and even a few uncrowded waves. But for the most part it was kind of wet and cold with a few more backpackers in the water than most crew would expect at this time of year, In Byron Bay Today.
