Nice little pop of colour if you were up early enough this morning. It was just the right mix of high clouds to catch the colour of light as the sun crept over the horizon.

The south swell has really ramped up overnight. The mellow log waves of the past couple of days have given way to chunky overhead sets out of the south. Looks like there's some proper energy to the waves this…

It's a real mix of elements out there today. A sou'westerly breeze is keeping it cool and crisp while a big, bright, powerful sun is spreading the summer vibes (i can feel my pterygium's growing). It looks like summer and feels…

"Hey! What happened to the Sprout post yesterday?"
Ummm, yeah sorry about that. I shot some pictures in the morning; was kinda average; cloudy, bumpy, 3 outta 10…
The groms were out in force this morning! With the sun up before 6am again there's heaps of time to get a surf in before school (or work for the grown up grommets). The waves were pretty unorganised with under…

Lovely light out early this morning. When a rising sun collides with dark, low clouds the result is a beautiful rich light full of contrast and colour. We had everything from dusty subtle pinks to vibrant yellows and everything…

It's starting to feel like we're heading into summer for real. The weekend weather was sensational and it looked like every man, woman, child and dog were at the beach somewhere between Shelly Beach and Queenscliff. Amazing…

The waves got good in the end yesterday. It was a couple of days waiting in the wings but those that had the time and space in their schedule for a paddle yesterday afternoon scored. Best waves since that last little…

A lot of positives to consider this morning: The sun's out blazing with a brightness and intensity that's been absent for some time now, there's enough sunshine to put a smile on your dial for the rest of the week.

Tough morning out there. The paddle out looked like a lottery with masses of water moving and rips pulling onto shallow churning sandbanks. It was a game of luck and perseverance; and you needed a health dose…

This morning's post is a little bit like the Tully White Show. It wasn't by design or pre-arrangement, but when you spot one of the best women's longboarders out making a very ordinary swell look, not just surfable…

I was hanging out for the sunshine this morning. The Wednesday forecast was looking the goods back at the start of the week with sunshine and light winds. So far this morning's been pretty muted out there, although as
