Windy & south swell… at Huntington

Hello Friends, Your somewhat jetlagged but otherwise intact correspondent can report that it was probably okay for the early at Huntington Beach today. Unfortunately, by the time I got anywhere near the joint, the usual onshores were working their malevolent magic on a nicely liney south swell that appeared to be in the chest to […]

Postcards for Monday evening

Hello all, Thought I’d put up a few snaps from today’s travels. Surf situation on the far north coast is not good. Pretty windblown and only some weak and tiny windswell along the Ballina-Lennox stretch. Only people we saw in the water were a few diehards catching knee high dribblers at Boulder. The trip from […]

Andrew Roser, long time RealSurfer, and the bloke who got Daniel Bateson out on a bodyboard at Dee Why a few weeks ago, sent this ski report […]

Postcard from California: foggy flatness

My hope had been that there just might be a little trickle of swell getting in to the slightly more exposed coast. Drove as far as a little windswell spot called Tajiguas. There was windswell. And it was […]

Happy Christmas!

Hello Friends Wish I could report that there are heaps of waves for Sydney’s surfers… But even from afar, I can see it’s going to be a day better spent feasting with family and friends. From the look of the charts and models, the coming week will be flat to marginally small. Oh well, what […]

Postcard from Malibu

Our ex-Bondi reporter checked out the surf situation at Malibu a couple days ago and sent us a pic… might be a bit bigger there in a couple days when the big south swell we had here in Sydney gets across the Pacific…
