The east-swell push has backed off this morning and has given way to a peaky little south-east swell. Semi protected corners were throwing up some fun waves on the early morning high tide. Pockets of sunshine warmed the ...

The ocean settled down late yesterday, some protected corners started producing the goods, the rain stopped and the sun even came out despite forecasts of heavy rain. There were still rips, wide breakers and bomb sets to contend ...

- thick lips 15th december / daily / December 15, 2011 / tom
It wasn't a massive swell this morning, but the beach I was at, sure was challenging. Two of the coast's best surfers were barely scraping into these mini death kegs. The low tide dredgers were hollow, but weren't ...
- changeable 14th December / daily / December 14, 2011 / tom
You had to be hiding from the wind today. A decently southerly wind is having it's way with the coast at the moment. Most open beaches blew out early morning, but if you were at a southern corner ...

- surprise spike 2nd november / daily / November 2, 2011 / tom
There is actually a fair bit of swell pushing in today... some set waves were surprising, considering swell forecasters were only callling 2-3 foot. A few of the swell magnets I checked were well overhead at times. At first light ...

- windy weekend 3rd october / daily / October 3, 2011 / tom
The hectic southerly winds are making it an un-comfortable day to go surfing, but I guess without wind we have no waves. Just wish that the wind was further away from the coast. The last two days have had some ...
