Why these swims are best at this time of year

The peloton from Macquarie Lighthouse.

South Head 2013 showed why these swims are best swum at this time of year. Sure, there was a stiff, cool breeze, chilling the cockles of those not in the water. But it smoothed the sea, which was still quite warm, and made for a quick run to Watsons Bay with a rolling following swell.

South Head coming up

It's almost here... the South Head Roughwater 2013. If you have comments, queries that you wish to put to the South Head community, or just start a discussion, hit the comment link below...

Please remember, the briefing for the 2013 event is at the Watsons Bay Hotel, in the back bar, on Friday evening at 7pm. All teams and solos must attend. This represents a change in venue from that advised originally: it's no longer at the Vaucluse Sailing Club.
