It’s been a fairly average week for waves overall across the coast with a few good moments along the opens.
Many surfers are wandering the beaches waiting and watching for a nice little peak to pop up with a few fun ones at Sunshine being the pick of the week.
UK surfer Bonita Whitelock, who is in town for a month with her family, was spotted by Dave Gleeson’s keen eye for talent on Sunshine Beach on Tuesday.
Bontita has been surfing since she was seven years old and has been competing since the age of 10.
Since then she has competed in many national competitions and is currently the U14 English champion.
She enjoyed some fun in the Aussie sun while being shot for an article in a UK surf magazine about up-and-coming groms.
While Bonita lucked out finding some nice rides on Tuesday, unfortunately that was the pick of the days this week.
With northerlies here for a couple more days yet, the swell just isn’t going to increase over the Aussie Day long weekend.
It will be best for surfers to hold off until next week when there will be a steady increase in easterly swell starting on Monday and reaching a peak of about three to four foot by Wednesday or Thursday.
