Pitch Report Jon from Sales talks up the fish. Roger exits before the crowds, before the dawn, snorkle in hand. A crisp 9 degrees out, a glorious 20 in. We swim to half way, then play in the waves. The sets are crisp and clean and rise like big banks from the horizon. A school...

Autumn blurs into Winter. The FFF head into their winter hibernation. Trooper says it’s the cold sand. Lucy heads north with a farewell. A touch of winter swell lands, bumping us around today.   A sliver of Moon & Venus hold onto the night.   615 arrivals   The Terminator celebrates another lap around the...

Bok from Croatia Reports of the bay suggest great viz from time to time, cuttlefish and other fab fish back, water temperature above 20 C and Michelle’s baby Arnie being babysat by the lads from the Drinks Express.

The night before keeps echoing back. A little bit of naughty is a little bit nice. Felecity tells of erotic bubbles at...

Someone told me long ago. There’s a calm before the storm. I know. Today I know. 20m+ viz. A plethora of marine life. Multiple turtles. A French accent off the shed points us towards 4 cuttlefish. Daphne is bragging about a horse size Cephalopoda. Andy laments that he didn’t actually see anything, never does.  ...

Wednesday 18th may    What a wildly wonderfully windless waveless Wednesday!  Great for swimming , not so much for the surf comp at north Steyne today …  the silence, calm & serenity as we entered the water moments after “drinks express” , watching the sun rise and the moon set was breathtakingly beautiful…  today felt...

There’s not a lot to say about today as it was pretty much as good as it gets, unless you love the wild surf.   The wall was busier than it has been in ages, word has spread of good conditions!   Water temp still nice at 20.3, viz good, no jellies, saw a cuttlefish...

Conditions perfect this morning
