How about this weather we're having in Sydney right now!? It's T-shirt weather in the thick of Winter. I even surfed in a springsuit the other day, the water is verging on warm - so pleasant!
Read MoreAnother cracker of a Winter morning in Sydney today. You know the story - crisp clear air, soft light and a cool offshore. This morning there's just enough Southerly swell to get you up and
Read MoreIf you've spent anytime in the sun at all today you'll know the weather's done a full backflip. Take a peak out your window, it's blue sky in all direction and the sun is packing some actual heat.
Read MoreFeeling a little frosty today? It was a touch below 6 degrees when I walked across the sand this morning; that's brisk! Contrast that with the ocean which is sitting at a very comfortable 20...
Read MoreThere's a South swell a coming; it just hasn't arrived yet. This morning it's pure, mellow longboard walls running just that bit too fast - even the 12footers were out-paced.
Read MoreHmmm, what can I say about this morning? It's overcast, grey and cold and the early low-tide wasn't adding any shape to a fading South Swell. The good news though is that if you like surfing
Read MoreToday we've got an underlying long period swell from the South. It's not big but at 15 seconds the swell's travelled some distance and it'll go from zero to a punchie 3 to 4 foot on the sets.
Read MoreThis morning is just about a carbon-copy of yesterday. The high-tide’s a touch later and there’s a little colour in the sky thanks to some clouds to the South but other than that it’s pretty much
Read MoreSomeone mentioned that "it was a beautiful Autumn morning" out there today. It certainly still feels like Autumn in the water (still 20 degrees !) but my pushbike home into was pure winter! I couldn't feel my...
Read MoreI played duck and dodge with the rain for the first half hour of daylight this morning before eventually conceding I was going to get wet and I may as well get in amongst it. Glad I did, there
Read MoreThe weather is coming and so is the swell (hopefully). Neither is here just yet but this morning's polished sunshine is going to be flipped on its head by late this afternoon. We're in for wind and rain through tonight and tomorrow apparently. The good news though is there's a sizeable South swell due to kick the beaches back to life.
Read MoreMorning! It's back at the desk today but not before sampling some of the low hanging fruit of a crisp Winter dawn. The swell's been on a slow fade since Thursday's peak and today we're down into the 1-2ft range; easy pickings for anything in the 9ft+ range.
Read MoreThis morning I took the camera up on the early bird flight above the Northern Beaches. It's the first time I've shot from a helicopter early morning but the perspective has been on my mind for some time now. Early mornings = Golden light + long shadows +
Read MoreWinter has arrived right on time, I don't think anyone was in doubt of that on rolling out the door. This morning had all our favourite traits of Winter proudly on display; Cold Sou-Westerly winds
Read MoreThis morning was another beautiful Autumn dawn. Just the right amount of cloud about to keep the light all dreamy and light winds ensuring the sea-surface looked all silky and smooth. Oh, and there's waves too. Small and inconsistent but the East swell continued to throw us the odd two footer.
Read MoreAutumn is a special time of year isn't it?! Our side of the planet begins its tilt away from the sun softening the light, the offshore's are setting in each morning and the water is holding on to that Summer warmth. Makes for some of the most pleasant mornings for surfing and floating around the line up capturing light.
Read MoreMorning! You watching Bells right now? I would have had today's update out early but I got well and truely side-tracked by Heat 2 of Round 4 at Bells. If you haven't seen...
Read MoreWell, wasn't that just the perfect 4 day long weekend! We've had a sustained serving of South East swell, morning offshore's, days full of light winds and sunshine by the bucket load. I stayed in town over...
