DAILY POSTS

As forecast the energy levels are way up this morning. There's a hefty east swell on the ocean and waves are double-overhead and then some. These kind of days present their challenges…

Just about as nice a day out there as they come. Sunshine in abundance, light offshore breeze and a consistent stream of east swell rolling through. If you could pick a set of conditions for groundhog…

Solid east swell out there this morning! It's heftier than I was expecting but a welcome surprise and hopefully a sign of things to come this Autumn. The swell is thanks to a low pressure system…

This morning felt normal. The sun rose, a neat little east swell broke with some kind of appeal on the sand banks and people paddled out. Normal, enough yeah. Funny when normal feels like…

After the least "surfingest" summer ever (shark activity, no banks, no swell, etc, etc) we're holding out hope for a change this Autumn. Cooler water, minimal rain, maybe a decent run of east swell…

The weather is about to change for better or worse depending on your penchant for rain, sunshine, warmer or cooler temps. As the light fades this afternoon the shower's will sneak in…

The action doesn’t come much thicker or faster than a Freshwater sunrise session. There's grommets, logger's, dad's and daughter's, yoga/fitness sessions, sunrise photo shoots…

Welcome to week 8 of 2026.  It feels like we're in forth gear now and things are humming along pretty smoothly. School's back in session, the holiday's are a memory and mostly things are back…

Something a little magic in the air this morning. Maybe it was smoke, maybe it was a humidity haze or sea mist? Whatever it was happening, it was adding a beautiful defused quality to the light.

The sun has made a welcome return to the morning hours today. It's warm with just a breathe of sou'westerly and a sky scattered with high and low clouds. Humidity is high despite…

This morning's post comes from one of my favourite paces to watch the sunrise at this time of the year. From up here the scene looked pretty mellow for a Friday. Small, cruisey waves…

Morning. It's warm out there already! 22˚ most of the night and we're projecting our way to thirty-three today. We're fresh back from a little bush escape down the south coast…

After a long weekend of big crowds, shallow swims, shark alarms and surfers seeking out the relatively sheltered sandbanks of the south end, this week feels like the start of a slow return…

What a turbulent 72 hours it's been as a surfer in Sydney. To be confronted so immediately with the true stakes of doing something that is so much a part life. Something so futile and so beautiful…

It's warm out there today! 35˚ already and sunshine galore. It's a long way from the "dashing through the snow" Christmas that we sang about when I was a kid but this is Christmas Aussie style…

I want to acknowledge the grief and fear that the Jewish community must be experiencing after the attack in Bondi on Sunday night. A feeling of safety and social cohesion is at the heart of what makes this

This morning it's exceedingly obvious that we're in the midst of another bushfire season; let's hope it's a mild one. Smoke is weaving it's way through the pines and streets of Manly, casting a yellow…

We're in for a coupla scorcher days in Sydney. 35 degrees today and a top of 36 tomorrow. But the real kicker will be the warm nights where the temp won't fall below mid-20's. Fire up the ceiling fans!
