Rattle

The wind was rattling in form the nor'east this morning. It was looking a far cry from the classy offshore conditions we've been enjoying so far this week. We had a good run. But, like all good things, they must…

Emerge

ook a little while but the sun eventually emerged and it's turned into a cracker of a day out there. We've got a bit of leftover swell, heaps of sunshine and just a puff of wind out of the east. A pleasant mix…

Better?

Yesterday was good and I reckon today's maybe just a tad better. Although, truth is, it probably depends on whether you had a little bit of luck on your side. Either way, we've got good waves…

After a weekend of stiff onshore's the wind's come good just in time for the working week. But the working week ain't what it used to be because come 8 o'clock it just gets busier these days. Everyone I know must…

Another mellow morning out on the beach. The sky is a blanket of still grey clouds and the ocean it's blue grey mirror. We've got a peaky little NE swell making for fun lefts and rights the full length of the beach.

Committed

This morning didn't look like much, a reasonably sleepy ocean state, grey sky and passing showers. But in the spirit of Make-A-Wave's pledge to surf everyday in September, I jumped in the rip at North Steyne…

Winter Sun

It's the last day of winter and it's an absolute cracker out there! Clear blue skies, sunshine and pristine conditions on the ocean. Hang around long enough and even the sun's got a little more warmth…

Spring Winds

Happy Monday to you. It's the last Monday of the winter season and it's starting to feel a little like spring already. The cool sou'westerly wind of winter has been replaced by a warmer nor'easterly this morning. Not ideal…

Make A Wave

Bit cool and grey out on the sand this morning. Still, there's fun little waves about and conditions are silky smooth. Those that roused themselves out of bed and into the steely grey ocean would be feeling pretty…

Sabbatical

Monday morning's can fall into two categories; the ones where you hit snooze, roll over and crawl feebly into the week, or those where you bounce out of bed rubbing your hand together ready to get stuck into the week…

It's the swell that keeps on giving. This morning we've got sunshine, a light sou'westerly offshore and a decent combo of swells rolling in from the south and east-south-east. It's been a great week of waves on The Beaches…

Good Run!

How about this run of waves! It's been good; really good! And reasonably user friendly with not too much water moving and plenty of lulls for the paddle outs. You could paddle out a novice and find yourself standing…

Long Game

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…

Bonus

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…

Limber

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…

Soft

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.
