Postcard from across the ditch
Can’t break the string… Still flat over here, but looking much more do-able than yesterday for Sydneysiders. Wind is SSW at 20-25 kts as I write this, so a bit strong for anything other than south corners I’d have thought. Bureau is calling for it to go more s and even SE over the next […]
Could be some fun windswell about
Hello Friends, NE wind is now a factor in Sydney. Started to push up early and as of mid-morning it’s going at around 10-15kts. The Bureau says it could build to 20-30 kts this afternoon. That ought to give the little windswell some extra oomph in the northern corners, particularly as you get toward dusk. […]
Southerly to start
Hello Friends, Thought I’d post a snap of north Collaroy/south Narra from the WRL cam. Went searching and found a few small waves over this end of the pond. Pal Guy and I left it fairly late, so luckily for us the wind never really got going today. Not an unusual state of affairs along […]

Hello Friends, Surf situation in Sydney looks similar to here in California – ie really small. There were a few little ones again today for Santa Barbara surfers who made the trek or bike ride to Sands. Tide was kinda low when I was out so you were sort’ve hanging up momentarily on the rope […]
Postcard from California: still tiny
Hello Friends, Late arvo update: managed to find some little waves at Sands beach just west of Isla Vista. It was only an hour or so before sunset, but there were some glassy little waist to chest high things coming in every now and then. Finally got a chance to try the 6’8″ 7S super […]
Postcard from California: off to Jalama
Hello Friends, Looks from the reports that Sydney and Southern California are trying to out do each other for woefulness where surf’s concerned. I see by the buoy data from down south that you’ll be lucky to be seeing anything above waist high at south facing stretches. Throw in the wind forecast of SE turning […]
Postcard from California: foggy flatness
Hello Friends, Went out this afternoon on a surf hunt along the coastline north of Santa Barbara. 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 […]
