Good morning and a happy Spring Friday to you!  It’s warm in the air and cold in the water and if you got out there this morning you’ll know that the swell’s up again from the South.

he scene has changed in Sydney this morning.  We had a good run of sunshine and warm weather but today the sky’s wrapped in clouds, the sun’s been blotted out and that Sou-Wester

Morning!  If you you struggled to find a decent wave in all that South Swell over the weekend, I hope you’re still in the game this morning.
