Not liking this swell drought we have been enduring for most of this winter. I can't remember a worst one. And not helpful either are forecasts skewing to over-hyped like the one for yesterday. Having read that a longer period larger swell would hit about lunch time I headed out on my usual walk with my gear strapped to my back thinking better to have than not. Paid off as North Curl Curl was delivering consistent pockets of opportunity leveraged nicely by Livo and some CUBAns out for their monthly comp.

Things were certainly dialled up this morning as the swell gained significantly in size and hit us from the east. Normally, this direction holds little promise but that changed with the bigger size. And it was impressive to watch when the set waves hit the point. Wave of the day goes to Sakiko who took on a monster the thiid in in a huge set of six that rolled through just before I finished shooting this morning.

Finally, a winter swell. Halfway through winter. Better late than never. And it was a pretty good one too. Moments of patchiness followed by large, hefty sets keeping everyone on their toes. Yew!

Pretty chill out there this morning until those sneaky set waves came through and got everyone's attention.

A less fickle and slightly less beautiful winter's morning out there today with a noticeable uptick in energy and a more helpful direction delivering a bit of size on the sets.

A fickle, beautiful winter's morning out there today with a slight change in direction redirecting the energy from the usual magnets and steering it straight through to mid-Dee Why where close-outs were the norm.

Another glorious winter's day with plenty of sunshine, warm temps and waves. The Point was delivering some decent set waves but most of the action was out on the Bommies, populated by seriously stoked foilers, longboarders and a couple of kayakers. Good to be out there today with more of the same tomorrow. Yew!

Opted for some northern exposure Monday morning where I found Matt (pictured) putting on a bit of a clinic. I'm not sure if it was formal or not but a clinic it was nonetheless. It was a privilege to watch and photograph a legend taking on the large tricky conditions so easily. Yes, lots of rides ended up closing out but hey you gotta ride 'em to find 'em. And kudos to the other four riders out there, each being rewarded for their tenacity and courage tackling those conditions.

Conditions scaled back two metres overnight after yesterday's mutant swell leaving us a paltry four metres to surf in this morning. Quite an eager crew out on the Point this morning under beautiful sunny conditions, warmer air temps and a gentler offshore breeze.

The forecasts were spot on today with swell ranging in excess of 6 metres (!) with lots of purple colour-coding on the charts for emphasis. Wind was a bit rough on exposed breaks like Narrabeen but relatively calm and tranquil around the corner at Warriewood where a crew of exactly four had the place to themselves.

That forecasted swell finally made its presence known at Dee Why this morning with a bit more size, favourable direction and a later high tide. It wasn't perfect but when the sets hit you knew all about it. Just ask Tom (pictured).

A relatively cool, fun morning greeted us today ahead of the blast furnace the day became. Water and air temps pretty high so hopefully that northerly breeze brought you some relief instead.

Three in a row! It's the first week of the new year right!? Can't believe the run of swell we've had so far. A fun session this morning at Dee Why featuring Tom back on the tools after recovering from a serious shoulder injury, two key moments from Loz's morning and a couple of other notable mentions.

Who needs Pipe when we had North Curl Curl living up to its name this morning? While others were descending mountains out the back, Col - a noted Curly Jedi and the featured surfer in today's post - was divining and finding gold in the foothills!
