In the Hood… 29 June 2016 Looks like the wetsuit hoodie is all the fashion out in the surf.  We are wearing more rubber as Winter progresses.  Lots of booties spotted as well.  All in the name of warmth, as there is a bit of a wait for the waves this morning....

Cold cold cold… 28 June 2016. I hope that you have thawed out after yesterday’s coldest day in 21 years.  It topped out at a large 11.7C.  Which is the current temp at 10.30am.  Not many surfers out this morning so it appears many of you have stayed at...

Feels like 3.7C 27 June 2016 It’s the coldest day this year and is only going to max out at 13C.  But on the sand this morning it feels like 3C.  The swell is still south and the wind is still offshore but you have decided to stay home and keep warm.  As there...

I’m high… 24 June 2016 It was a beautiful start to the day this morning…. but now the clouds have rolled in and it looks like the start of some unsettled weather.  There was even some rain with the front that came over around 10am.  But it just maybe...

Thursday Yes sometimes I just can’t think of a better title. 23 June 2016 That south swell is still marching into the Northern Beaches this morning.  But it is on the downward trend until a fairly rough ground swell hits Saturday.  This offshore wind will...

South pulse 22 June 2016 This morning the south facing beaches are gaining most from the new south swell.  It’s clean with the offshore, but can be a bit straight at times.  The Bombies are breaking but it’s a long wait between sets.  There are plenty of...

Shortest day… 21 June 2016 Today is the shortest day of the year here in Sydney.  From sunrise at 7am, to sunset at 4.54pm, there is only 9 hours and 54 minutes of daylight hours out of 24.  So the days get longer from today and you should get longer surfs in as...

Monday morning sickie 20 June 2016 As expected there are a few waves on the Northern Beaches this morning.  Nothing likes the size of the last ECL but still a good 4 foot on the open south facing beaches.  Swell  out of the ENE but it is a bit full early suffering...

Too high early 17 June 2016 There is a lot of water movement in the water this morning and therefore it’s not as clean as it was yesterday at this time.  But I’m sure that it’s going to be really nice later on today.  Waves are about 3 -4 foot from...

ECL 2 16 June 2016 Get ready for another ECL this weekend. Fortunately it won’t affect the Northern Beaches like a couple of weeks ago as the combination of waves and king tides are not the same.  What is familiar though is that there is a couple low pressure...
