Morning!  Hope you enjoyed some of that famous Sydney Winter Sun over the weekend. 20 degrees in the middle of winter - we've got it pretty good round these parts.

I couldn't work it out this morning, it was a real mix of swells and lighting. We've got an underlining South swell punctuated by short period windswell skipping in from the Nor-East

Quite a morning out there this morning.  The thunder was grumbling in the southern sky while to the north it was blue and clear.  Then, just as the sun emerged, the storm front and sun collided

You'd have to be a "half-glass-full" kind of a person to paddle out this morning.  Our run of tiny swell continues but with the right attitude (and equipment) there's little runners to be had.

Well, that was a surprise! Not sure what charts we were looking at, but yesterday afternoon a 3+ foot long-period East swell snuck in under the radar.  It went from zero to overhead between

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!

Another 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

If 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.

Feeling 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...

There'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.

Hmmm, 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

Today 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.

This 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

Someone 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...

I 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

The 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.

Morning! 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.

This 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 +
