The clouds are back, winds are light and the swell's still hanging in there. How many days of proper swell are we up to so far this winter? This morning it's 3 foot with the odd 4 footer; that's still 'proper swell' right?
Some days are a little tougher than others to suit up and get out there... this morning was one of those day. But, after a hundred duck dives and 20 mins fighting a rip, when a set wave peaks up and you're the only guy…
If you're at work already, I hope you packed the wet weather gear!
You feeling the cold this morning? Brrrr - it's brisk! 4 degrees up on the hills this morning and after yesterday's 22 degrees it's no wonder that sou-wester is cutting deep to the bones. I'm still trying to get my fingers to uncurl!
It's another sensational day out there! We're well on our way to 22 degrees - are you kidding me!
Monday's aren't too bad when they look like what we've got out there today. Sunshine, cool offshore and a silky little 2ft of clean east swell. It's a sensational day outside!
We're having a good run of waves aren't we?! The swell's up a touch again today, this time it's a mix of south and east-north-east swell. With offshore winds straight out of the west, you'd have to say just about everywhere…
Read MoreHappy hump day morning to you! Plenty of heads out in the water and feet on the sand enjoying the return of sunshine to the city today. The swell has eased right off and what's left of the sandbanks doesn't seem…
Read MoreWhat's happening out there today? I thought it was going to bigger and more south with a little less wind than yesterday. Instead, what we've got is a mix of swell directions all generated by the same low pressure system…
Read MoreMoooore? Righto, you got it! After a one week hiatus up the coast I made it back through yesterday's downpour just in time for East Coast Low #2. Hope you're comfy 'cause we're in for a few days of heavy swell! This morning it's triple…

Read MoreGood afternoon. If you're anywhere near a window right now you'll know it's cold, wet and windy outside right now, the southerly up and the commute home's looking a little grim. Hopefully the following post might cast a
Read MoreThe swell's in and it's a solid one! Five and half metres on the buoys at 7am this morning with waves recorded over 12m! When its this big, Deadman's comes alive and all the madmen brush off their cobwebs and put…
Read MoreTheres wasn't a whole lot of indication that we're in for some rough weather over the next couple of days. This morning it was sunny and calm with clean little one to two footers slowly easing in. There was a little bit of…
Read MoreIt's a bit cloudy out there this morning. Not raining; just a full coverage of bluey grey clouds making for flat light and stillness on the ocean…
Read MoreIt's another classic winter morning on The Beaches. We're talking 2-4ft of SSE swell, a light offshore wind and just enough sunshine to lull you into thinking it's warm enough for a t-shirt.
I like these moody mornings. When we've got low clouds moving across the sky at dawn theres always a chance of a flash of light and colour if the sun finds a little breathing space. This morning was a really nice…
