RIP Libby. 5 February 2015 This post is dedicated to a friend of mine, Libby Smith, who sadly passed away last night.  May peace be with you. I ventured down to Manly as it looks like the only surfable spot on the southern half of the Northern Beaches.  As the AOS...

Grey is the new sunshine. 4 February 2015. That low-pressure system which is currently moving east at the bottom of OZ is certainly having an effect on the colour of days.  With grey being the predominant colour for the last couple of weeks.  Although the sun did pop...

On shore junk. 3rd February 2015 Looks like the Low pressure system has moved offshore giving us onshore sou east winds early. The wave height is around 2 – 3 foot but its fairly junky out there. Only the most extreme southern corners have clean waves but they...

Gone. 2 February 2015 How was your weekend, surf wise?  The big swell continued into Saturday but by Sunday afternoon it was gone.  This morning’s waves are fairly average and a little disappointing at around 1 – 3 foot.  You may find something in the...

Bombies… 30 January There were waves a plenty this morning on the Northern Beaches, although not as big as predicted the bombies were sucking the swell at twice the size as the points and beach breaks.  Its a long period swell and there are a few lulls before...

Sunshine 29 January 2015 Finally we get see the sunshine after a few days of heavy rain.  It was so heavy and consistent yesterday that it prevented me getting out of bed and made me sleep in.  (pity about that).  Its a different story this morning with a nice 3...

Umbrellas up. 27 January 2015 How was your Australia Day Long Weekend?  It was a bit of a mixed bag with a few waves on Saturday and then the weather turned on Sunday arvo for a wet Monday.  And it hasn’t stopped.  So there is really nothing to show today, other...

Straya Long Weekend  (6 tickets left) There was a nice pulse on this morning from the NE and it may get bigger into this afternoon.  There were fun some 3 footers and with a few bigger sets at maybe 4 foot right along the open facing beaches.    All in all a beautiful...

Hazy days. 22 January 2015 The early sea mists made for a hazy start to the day and without a breath of wind it seemed to be held down the temperature inversion above. It wasn’t until the sun popped its head over the clouds that the morning started to clear. It was...

21 mornings of grey…. 21 January 2015 There have only been a small handful of sunrises this month. Most have started with grey clouds covering the horizon and rain. Its not until mid morning that the day start to improve. The swell is a lumpy 2 – 3 foot, left overs...
