Another warm morning with truckloads of sunshine and a light Nor-Easter.  We're back on the Summer diet of warm water, boardshorts and bikini's and small fun waves.  The daily temperatures have been climbing all week and tomorrow it looks like we might even crack 30˚.  Beauty! Chinese New Year Festivities are kicking off in Sydney tonight.  This year it's the Year of the Snake, and in 2013 it's the Water Snake to be exact.  That's got all sorts of connotations for surfing but let's hope snakes in the line up keep it classy this year.

We're giving away a Gravis Backpack next week.  Get onto your smart phone and follow @SproutDaily on Instagram and Twitter for the deets.
