Get ready for a couple of days of rain.  The clouds were gathering this morning but it won’t arrive until later this afternoon.  Although this type of weather usually brings in southerly winds and swell,  this time it will be nor-easters and a ENE – E...
Surprise jump

Surprise jump

Most of you who checked the surf this morning would have been surprised that the swell has jumped up a foot or two from yesterday.  The south swell is a nice 2 – 4 foot with the bombies capturing a little more size.  Swell is still from the south and there are a...
Dredging

Dredging

It’s a cracking day out there.  The sun is out and people are on the beach in droves.  Waves are in the 2 – 3 foot range but it is super busy out there.  As I’ve said before, it’s like no-one is working and everybody is surfing.  Add school...

On the downward.

On the downward.

The waves have slowed a little.  There are still some solid ones, but nowhere near that of yesterday’s great conditions.  Still plenty of waves around the Northern Beaches to be had though.  There was some suggestion of swell marching up the coast but I think it...
Waves all over

Waves all over

Wow the waves are on the pump all over the place.  You just got to know where to look.  Mrs SPoY was on the lens and grabbed a bag full.  Surfers, dolphins,  foilers you name it.  #takingover.  It is an epic day and the land and water photogs were having a ball....

Wow the swell has jumped up overnight and will continue to build during today.  It will ease into tomorrow, but there will be still some size for the next few days.  It is a solid south swell coming in at around 4 – 6 foot.  The wind is a chilly south wester...
