Sink or Swim

We're locked in a pattern of small waves and grey sky right now.  Anyone seen a sunrise of late?  Even with the promise of a slight bump in swell today it's hard to discern a rise. It's pretty much a

Waiting Room

Waiting. Waiting. Waiting.  

Waiting for waves, waiting for swell, waiting for the tide and some sign of life from the ocean. This is life as a surfer in Sydney right now.

Full Frontal

What about that storm front that blasted through late yesterday!  A towering mash-up of dark, ferocious clouds rounded North Head just after 7pm last night!  Dogs cowered, grown men ran for...

Slow Roast

Apparently yesterday was one of Sydney's hottest days on record.  Did I see 47 degrees somewhere out on the western reaches of the city?! Wow! That's a slow roast temperature!

Climbing

Were you up early this morning?  It was a touch cool with a light offshore and crisp, clear, autumn-like air. I stepped out the door and almost turned back for a jumper.  But this is Summer

Oh Summer!

Morning!  Today's the longest day of the year - enjoy all 14 and a half hours of daylight and hour of so twilight either side.  Plenty of time to surf, wrap up the year at work, get your shopping done and attend a Christmas party of two.   

I had my fingers crossed for a sunrise this morning but the clouds stubbed that out pretty quick.

Strange

Strange morning out there today.  We had a brief burst of colour and then the Sun just hung in behind the clouds making for a eerie soft light and warm, muggy air.  It kind-a felt like an evening

Harbourside

When the temperature heads up and beyond 30 degrees and there's a summer sea-breeze blowing, the harbour side of Manly seriously shines.  Right now it's a 10 out of 10 day on Sydney

Warm + Clear

Oh man, it's so nice in the water right now!  All that cold water that was shocking us on entry last week seems to have cleared out along with the green tinge of algae that comes with the up-welling.  It's warm, it's clear and there's time to spare before the work or school whistle blasts - you'd be mad to sleep through it!

Summer's Kicking

t's starting to feel like Summer's kicking in for real. 20 degrees before the sun rose this morning and the water's back up to where it should be.  We're up over 21 degrees according to the...
