I left Sydney in Winter and 7 weeks later I've come back straight into Summer.  The water's 20 degrees, the wind looks like it's set into the summer Nor-Easters and Blue Bottle's are back on the beach.  Spring's been given the year off. The good thing about these Nor-Easterly wind patterns are that they usually blow up a little bit of surfable short period swell.  There's a punchie, little Nor-East wind swell out there this morning - looks like a bit of fun if you pick the right one.

It was so nice to see the sun rising out of the Tasman this morning; I've missed that over the past couple of months.
