Heaving

The South Swell is heaving today.  Manly's barely tipping 2ft but just a short drive up the Beaches it's a hefty double-overhead.  There's plenty of juice on offer if you want to exposed yourself to

The Usual

The South Swell has arrived this morning although finding any quality out there was a challenge.  I did the usual - Surf check here; surf check there, yeah, nah.  Sure there's waves, but nothing

There may not be any swell but it was a morning you'd be thanking yourself for getting up and out the door early. Sometimes the sun and clouds combine so perfectly you couldn't plan light

Scarcity

Waves are scarce but the sunshine is abundant today. I went for a swim with a handful of hopefuls at Freshy this morning.  The waves are small and weak but the water is so inviting.  Results were

Winter Moves

Morning!  Hope you enjoyed some of that famous Sydney Winter Sun over the weekend. 20 degrees in the middle of winter - we've got it pretty good round these parts.

Out There

I couldn't work it out this morning, it was a real mix of swells and lighting. We've got an underlining South swell punctuated by short period windswell skipping in from the Nor-East

Collision

Quite a morning out there this morning.  The thunder was grumbling in the southern sky while to the north it was blue and clear.  Then, just as the sun emerged, the storm front and sun collided

Early Optimism

You'd have to be a "half-glass-full" kind of a person to paddle out this morning.  Our run of tiny swell continues but with the right attitude (and equipment) there's little runners to be had.

Sneaky

Well, that was a surprise! Not sure what charts we were looking at, but yesterday afternoon a 3+ foot long-period East swell snuck in under the radar.  It went from zero to overhead between

T-Shirt

How about this weather we're having in Sydney right now!?   It's T-shirt weather in the thick of Winter.  I even surfed in a springsuit the other day, the water is verging on warm - so pleasant!

Another cracker of a Winter morning in Sydney today.  You know the story - crisp clear air, soft light and a cool offshore.   This morning there's just enough Southerly swell to get you up and

Flip

If you've spent anytime in the sun at all today you'll know the weather's done a full backflip. Take a peak out your window, it's blue sky in all direction and the sun is packing some actual heat.

Ethereal

Feeling a little frosty today?  It was a touch below 6 degrees when I walked across the sand this morning; that's brisk! Contrast that with the ocean which is sitting at a very comfortable 20...

Rising

There's a South swell a coming; it just hasn't arrived yet.  This morning it's pure, mellow longboard walls running just that bit too fast - even the 12footers were out-paced.

Space

Hmmm, what can I say about this morning?  It's overcast, grey and cold and the early low-tide wasn't adding any shape to a fading South Swell.  The good news though is that if you like surfing

15 Seconds

Today we've got an underlying long period swell from the South. It's not big but at 15 seconds the swell's travelled some distance and it'll go from zero to a punchie 3 to 4 foot on the sets.

Carbon-Copy

This morning is just about a carbon-copy of yesterday.  The high-tide’s a touch later and there’s a little colour in the sky thanks to some clouds to the South but other than that it’s pretty much

20 Degrees

Someone mentioned that "it was a beautiful Autumn morning" out there today.  It certainly still feels like Autumn in the water (still 20 degrees !) but my pushbike home into was pure winter!  I couldn't feel my...
