Full Spring. 18 October 2016 There were some uncrowded waves around the beaches this morning.  Maybe because you all slept in thinking that it would be tiny.  It is certainly bigger than yesterday.  But with the rising tide and what surfers I did seen were getting...

Short period. 17 October 2016 Today’s early high tide is definitely swallowing the waves this morning.  There were only a few spots that were surfable and even then there are tiny little sections you can grab a turn on before they just die.  It looks better than it is...

The Point 14 October 2016 The waves are a touch bigger this morning and with the almost westerly offshore, there are waves right along the Northern Beaches.  Well the ones that handle this southerly swell.  There were a few locals grabbing some fullish waves at Dee...

25.9kph SSW 13 October 2016 Today is all about numbers: The wind is from the 191° (SSW) at 25.9kph The air temp is currently 13.3C but feels like 10C The water temp is about 18C, too cold for me. The wave size is 3 – 4 foot. Swell direction is  180°S There are a...

Wobbly Monday 10 October 2016 It’s a fairly wobbly Monday this morning.  The groms are back to school, the workers are back on the tools and the surf was fairly uncrowded.  This is mainly due to a very short period NE wobbly wind swell which was weak and...

Where did it go…. 6 October 2016 Yesterday afternoon there was a nice spike in the swell and I saw a few 3 footers on a few beaches, maybe even a few bigger ones in the mix.  This morning it has almost gone and we are down to 1 – 2 foot again.  Not sure...

Fragile 3 October 2016 When we are young we are indestructible.  But as our lives progress we find that there are indeed many fragile pieces to our lives, the environment and the world we live in.  Today I heard that a friend of mine, that I have known for 40+ years,...

Orange to grey… 30 September 2016 If you were up at the crack of dawn (5.30am) you would have witnessed one of the best sunrises in a while.  But if you weren’t we have it for you.  The early morning colours were a fabulous orange but you could just feel...
