The gifts are stacking up for big wave surfers with two very big swells - one potentially an Eddie swell - due just before Christmas.

We're set to see one of the largest and deepest low pressure systems since last winter. In fact this one is shaping up to be bigger than the Hercules XXL swell seen at the start of this year.

With less than week to go until the waiting period of the Billabong Pipe Masters, all eyes are fixed on the charts. Will the World Title showdown get swell befitting the occasion?

In the coming week a rare event will take place in the North Pacific ocean: effectively every country in the region - from the Solomon Islands clockwise around to Mexico - will receive swell from a sole source.

It's lain dormant for the best part of six months but this week the North Pacific has roared back to life.

The largest swell since the 2012 Volcom Fiji Pro is forecast to hit Cloudbreak early next week.

The World Tour scored excellent waves at the resurrected J-Bay Pro so high hopes surround the next event on tour, the Billabong Pro Tahiti. So, will there be swell?!

Hawaii is currently in the firing line for a rare dual-hurricane crossing this week: Hurricane Iselle on Thursday then Hurricane Julio on Sunday.

Super Typhoon Neoguri is currently bearing down on Japan spawning waves of jaw dropping size. Read more about this most impressive of storms.

The largest swell so far this year is currently bearing down on the Indonesian Archipelago and beyond.
