I woke with a with a solid dose of excitement and expectation today. All the numbers looked good on the forecast; hefty east swell, clean westerly winds and a healthy allocation in the schedule for surfing. Unfortunately the weather…

It's fair to say the Northern Beaches doesn't mind an East swell. This morning we've got 4ft of clean, groomed east swell and a light WSW breeze... ideal conditions. Take a drive up The Beaches, skip town all together…

It’s a mixed bag of clouds, sunshine, rain and fun waves this morning. Not sure if it’s much bigger than yesterday but there was a definite sense of increased energy in the swell. The early offshore wind’s have been…

I think I've gone soft! There's some fun waves about but about I'm struggling to get the motivation to pull on the wetsuit and paddle out. It's a whole different kind of a morning out there today to the last couple of days.

Nice to have some sunshine about to ease the transition back to winter after an extended time in the tropics. Yesterday was a balmy one and today's looking the goods too - just don't glance too far ahead in the five day forecast.

It’s been a couple of weeks since my last post and if you thought I’d fallen off the side of the planet you’d be close. The Maldives is a patch of scattered atolls rising out of the Indian Ocean somewhere between the subcontinent…

There's isolated patches of sunshine scattered about this morning. It's rare to find yourself in one but against a backdrop of heavy clouds and a change in weather, any sunshine on the skin is a little win. The forecast…

Nice day out there. Sun's out, wind's offshore and there's just enough swell to get you to your feet for a hump day glide.

Starting to feel a little bit like winter again today right? The wind's up from the sou'west stripping away that recent run of warmth we were basking in over the weekend. With the wind comes waves and there's a brief little south swell…

Yesterday was one glorious day for surfers on The Beaches, in fact most of the East Coast would have been firing. A solid dose of east swell and light winter offshores are a magic combination for many a beach break, point…

It's kind of pumping out there today, at least pumping enough for me to drop the camera gear and get amongst it. We've got neat lines of SE swell stacking up with a light offshore from the nor'west. It's a fine…

It's a mixed bag of all sorts out there today. A bit of sunshine, couple of showers, little serving of leftover swell, hint of an onshore and a timely swing to offshore. It's a fluid situation but all good if you manage to nail the…

Another sensational winter morning out on the sand with plenty of sunshine and south swell. It's cool, but definitely warmer than the shiver this time a week ago. We're heading for a top of 20 degrees today which…

Can you believe this run of swell? What is this, day eight of good size groundswell on our beaches? Yep! Not too bad a start to the winter huh!

It's day three of south swell and it's still rolling in with solid sets and long accommodating lulls. There's been a handful of moments when the banks at home seem to be handling the direction and size. It's a fluky…

We're in for a solid run of south swell. Multiple bumps of south swell are lining up deep in the Tasman to provide us with plentiful swell over the coming days. There should be waves all the way into next weekend…

Not a whole lot doing out there this morning. Strong westerlies have blown any hint of a south swell way out to sea and there's hardly a ripple hitting our shores. The good news is the wind's going to ease over the coming…

Hope you were up with the early birds this morning. The dawn sky put on quite the show with a double burst of vivid colour and warming hues lighting up the third morning of winter. It was the kind of colour and cloud formation…
