The Sydney Winter magic is on. The crisps sunny mornings, with pretty clouds and clean peelers. The offshore winds, the Lattes, and the late sunrises. The small crowds, the almost empty Icebergs, and the cold sand. The UGGs on the beach, the blue skies, and (almost) only the locals.
Our Winter festival is in full swing right now, and except for the man-Flue (that I finally managed to overcome – I almost died – sorry for the radio silence), there is nothing not to like about it. And I am not talking about the ''Ice-rink on the beach'' kind of Winter Festival. I mean the natural one, the sustainable one, …the only one.
But days are going to start to stretch again this week. We're on our way to Summer !
Have a great day.

brrrrrrrrrr……It was cold this morning. The Westerly has its pros (clean waves, pretty veils, blue skies), and its cons (cold, nasty germs, etc).
Talking about germs, I think I'm going down, most likely the infamous life threatening Man-flue. Not due to my supposedly raving activities on the weekend (I wish I did, but I just went to see the most boring Rugby game in History between France and the Wallabies), but most likely due to the cold weather. It's funny how easy it is to get used to Tropical climate !
You may or may not have seen this clip yet, but if you haven't, watch this ! It is said to be most likely the best GoPro footage ever. Endless barrels, several spits, and the cleanest pit of all…Worth spending 2 minutes watching this!
Have a great day.

I got the late call up from Francky G last night to put something together for this mornings report. I think he said something about needing some beauty sleep after a huge weekend in Melbourne at some massive techno rave thingy. Well I was only too happy to oblige coz, as you may already know that we have had a good run of clean winter swell over the last few days.
Up here in Newcastle it has been well and truly pumping. The conditions have been off the charts and I have managed to jag a few lucky shots. So enjoy and dream away behind your office desk.
Today the swell has ramped right up. But for you Sydneysiders you may just have to scout out of town to find something protected.
Cheers from Newy!

It's Friday 13th, and yet, we're pretty lucky to live in this corner of the World, especially today !
The vibe was pretty jovial in the water. Plenty of waves, plenty of smiles ! As there were plenty of waves to go about, the drop-ins were friendly, fun even !
Olie's stoke was the highlight of the morning session to me. Just like any boy, he got a new toy for his birthday. A brand new red Waxa twin fins…from his girlfriend ! Well my friend…you must have had some brownie points up your sleeves, or you do stuff that only you have the secret. Both the board and the GF are keepers ! 😉 Happy B'day !
Have a great day !
I'm off to Melbourne to support France Rugby Team, about to get their a#@ kicked by the Wallabies for the second time in 2 weeks (I hope not, but I am realistic).

The perfect Winter morning has arrived. I told you that today should be the highlight of the week. And for a change: I was right ! (thank you Coastal Watch !)
What can I say: pretty colours for sunrise, gold water, offshore, 3 to 5 foot swell lines coming through super consistently. What else can we ask for ? Not much.
Sickie day kids !
