Building 18 April 2016 When we woke this morning the waves were in the 2 foot range but in a few hours or so later there were some good sized 5 – 6 footers coming through.  Even the bombes were working and a little bigger.  Although it was fairly windy with a...

Spectacular 15 April 2016 Another beautiful morning on the Northern Beaches of Sydney.  Plenty of sunshine, a nice offshore wind but the waves are in the 1 – 2 foot range and look fairly slow.  There were some fun ones right along the beaches and the water is...

Misty… 14 April 2016 There is a fair amount of misty rain around this morning.  It’s one of those on and off type of days.  It was raining one minute and next minute the clouds were clearing for the chance of some sun.  Looking out the window at the moment...

Offshore now onshore 134 April 2016 There was a nice little offshore sou west breeze this morning which made a change from yesterdays on shores.  And it’s a lot cleaner than 24 hours ago.  There are some fun 2 foot + waves on offer at the open south facing...

GBF 11 April 2016 Yesterday we had the pleasure to shoot down at Dee Why Beach at the Girls Boardriders Fraternity monthly club competition.  The waves were a fun 2 to maybe 3 foot with some nice clean waves coming through for the girls to get a few turns on.  Thanks...

Shady… 8 April 2016 Yesterday and today have given us some respite from the Indian summer we have been having.  Although yesterday was fairly ugly with the southerly, the wind is more offshore this morning and the water surface is smooth and warm.  There were...

What’s going on 6 April 2016 In the words of Matt Wilkinson (recent winner of both comps at Snapper and Bells) “what is going on”?  But my reference is the 29c we are currently bathing in here on the Northern Beaches.  It’s the hot air brought...

Golden lining Today is golden lining day.  Yesterday’s cloud and rain have been lost in my memory overtaken by the return of summer in April.  As a bonus I surfed with a pod of at least 50 dolphins just cruising up and down the beach, tail flapping and a few...

Four Four Sixteen Monday What happened to that April sunshine.  This morning it is more like that novel…. you know that one with plenty of s.x etc.  And the waves are even greyer, if there is such a word.  Still in the 2 – 3 foot range from the south east,...
