Bank maker 19 August 2016 The word is that the Northern Beaches Council is rivalling Kelly Slater’s Wave pool and seriously shifting sand to make a new surfing bank at an undisclosed beach.  More on that shortly.  As for surfing today….. ah no.  Smallest...

Empties 18 August 2016 Tiny is today’s key word.  It’s around 1 foot and with the early high tide the waves are hardly breaking.  Still, the fabulous weather continues and this is a result of a stationary High pressure system sitting on top of us.  This is...

How good is it. 17 August 2016 How good is this weather we are having at the moment.  It makes up for the lack of waves… (no it doesn’t)  I’m sure that you would rather have waves than good weather.  50:50.  Wednesday brings the 3rd day of the week...

Too deep early 16 August 2016. Although conditions are fabulous for winter, the waves have deserted us and it’s around 1 – 2 foot again this morning.  The water temp and air temps are glorious for August, so a surf or swim will be nice.  The early high...

Slow Monday… 15 August 2016 Waves are on a go slow today.  There is a 2 foot swell on the Northern Beaches but there are also lots of lulls to contend with..  This is when the talk turns to an Indo trip, where there are plenty of waves.  Still better to be out...

It’s cold… 12 August 2016. I was hoping to take a sickie this morning but there is a new south swell hitting the beaches and it’s double the size of yesterday.  But the most common word I heard this morning, is that four letter one… COLD....

Above and below 11 August 2016 It is tiny out on the water today.  I’m sure it is below 1 foot in size and you needed the longest SUP you can manage just to get on the bumps on offer.  Better still enjoy a paddle up and down the beach, as the waves are few and...

On the down.. 10 August 2016 Waves have slipped a foot further downwards this morning.  With most beaches receiving only 1 footers to the beach.  Maybe one or two turns on slow and weak waves is all you will get.  Still it’s another FAB day on the sand with...

A beautiful morning indeed. 9 August 2016 Although the waves are a small 2 foot, conditions for this morning are beautiful indeed.  To me it doesn’t really matter how big or good the waves are, just going surfing is so good.  (plenty of waves are a bonus).  The...

Vale Midget. 8 August 2016 A legend has left our shores.  One of the greatest Australian surfers has passed.  Vale Midget Farrelly. There are a few 3 – 4 foot waves on offer this Monday morning with the south facing beaches getting the size but the WSW wind is...
