The weather is coming and so is the swell (hopefully). Neither is here just yet but this morning's polished sunshine is going to be flipped on its head by late this afternoon.

Thursday mornings never looked so tasty! We're on the eve of a 4 day weekend, the wind's light and offshore and there's a little pulse of extra energy out on the Tasman this morning. It's 2ft with

This morning I went on a bit of a goose chase. You know the one where you check it at home, it looks ok but you think it might be better the next beach over? And then you repeat that times 5

If you woke up this morning expecting solid waves before breakfast you might have been a touch disappointed with the offering. Maybe it was the full tide, could be the angle of the swell or

The waves were on the pump this morning. It's a weird set up with rips, holes and gutters but if you can work out a spot to sit or fluke yourself into position there were some classy waves to be

oday's had a bit of everything so far. Strong onshore's, moments of offshore; rain, wind and sunshine all zipping past in succession. I seem to be timing my run to the beach with the rain and
