Police were called to a complex on Pittwater Road, Manly, following reports of an assault at around 5.45pm on February 27.
They found Guy Hames, 59, with serious head injuries, who was treated at the scene before being taken to hospital.
He died in hospital on Friday, March 15.
Haims, known to his friends as “Creature”, was a famous surfer, well known on the beaches in and around Sydney, from the Northern Beaches to Wollongong.
Police said he also had links to communities in Sydney’s south, including Hurstville.
Detective Superintendent Patrick Sharkey said detectives had carried out thorough inquiries but were now appealing for more information from members of the public.
Haymes’ brother Mark echoed the appeal, saying his family had been left in shock and without answers.
“Guy was funny and outgoing and got along with everyone,” he said.
“Our whole family is shocked and in disbelief that his life has been cut short – and in such a brutal way.
“Not knowing what happened that day and not having the answers is the hardest part.
“It was tragic and we can’t imagine anyone would want to hurt him.
“If anyone has any information please come forward as our whole family needs closure.”
