Autumn: Why It's The Surfers Season
Tuesday 29/03 7
Autumn is the surfers season! After months of onshore, weak summer swells, anticipation is set high as we move into the change of seasons.

One Of Those Days Pt. 1
Fri 25 March 12:00am
Sydney is the sort of place that hardly ever gets perfect waves. Long stretches of time, with waves measuring in quality from good to grim, are endured by the sizeable surfing population in the hope that someday soon it'll get perfect again.

A Break In The Rain
Tue 22 March 12:00am
Torrential rain, filthy water, onshore winds and a junky swell. That's what greeted weekend warriors, but it all had to change at some point.

Here's something you might not know about Tropical Cyclones - as well as leaving a swathe of destruction on land, they also leave evidence of their path across the ocean.
Surgical Strike Pt. 2

Here's Part 2 of Craig's two-day surf mission.
Surgical Strike Pt. 1
Mon 31 January 12:00am
Friday looked the biggest, while Saturday would see better winds as the swell eased.
Forecasts filed, car packed, and it was time to do a quick dash out of Adelaide. They were stepping off into 6ft bombs that were throwing as wide as they were tall onto a dangerously shallow sandbank.
Not many were made, but the guys would have visions of perfect cylinders etched into the back of their minds.

HEY SWELLNET, HOW BOUT TONING IT DOWN A BIT?
No Place Like Home
Mon 22 November 12:00am
My profession as a surf forecaster involves scouring weather maps day after day, keeping abreast of all the swells occurring across the country.
Whilst looking at the weather maps last week I saw a pattern evolving over my home state of South Australia and it instantly got me excited.

A funny thing happened on the way to the chemist...
After putting up his East Coast notes last Friday Swellnet forecaster, Craig Brokensha, immediately developed a cough.

Battlefield Sydney
Tue 19 October 12:00am
Beautiful, lined up swell from the south...check
Crisp wind from the west...check
On a sunny weekend with people walking poodles along the shoreline,
And lycra-clad power walkers patrolling the back blocks...check and check
There's some great waves out there, no doubt about that, but you'll have to battle a platoon of eager warriors for a slice of Battlefield Sydney.

Salt in the Wound
Wed 22 September 12:00am
It's not very long and listening to it may even make you feel better.
There's a fellow I know, one of the keenest surfers about, who injured his knee about four weeks back. Like rubbing salt into his own wound he has the job of telling us when the surf is gonna pump while not being able to surf it himself.
