It’s warm and windy out there today! Keen for a paddle?  The 50km/h Westerly wind has pretty much blown any chances of a surf away this morning it’s going to get smaller.

Too Low

Low tide has it’s advantages. Yep, the shiny wet sands makes for a perfect light reflector, you can walk all the way out the back and 1 foot waves can pack a mighty punch.  But this morning the

Tinted

Sydney is shrouded in smoke this morning tinting the sunrise a burnt orange early and adding a pink haze to the sky.  I guess they must be doing some hazard reduction burns out West or in the

Spring Winds

Feels like Summer this morning. After sliding through +1m of snow in the winter wonderland of Thredbo at the beginning of the week, it’s pretty weird to walk out into t-shirt weather and a light

Trade

Traded the soft cold white stuff for the chilly gritty sand this morning. It’s only a touch warmer on the beach than it was in Thredbo yesterday – that cold Sou-Wester is chilly! Before I tell you

Wintery

There was a distinct Wintery feel about dawn this morning.  Even though we get so much sunshine in Winter here in Sydney, there’s nothing like dark clouds and a bitey, fresh wind to made

Swell's Back!

Flare

Wasn't yesterday a scorcher!  Maybe not by Summer standards but 26 degrees in the middle of Winter - huh!  I had a wander down the beachfront yesterday evening and it was like Summer;

Burst

Hope you were up for sunrise this morning, blink though, and you might have missed the whole thing. The sky lit up in a burst of colour and light just as the sun snuck over the horizon only to

SSW

The only thing that seems to be Wintery about Sydney right now is the supply of South Swell.  We've had back to back, to back swells running in from the South.  Today's is more of a SSW'ly

Treats

Well, wasn't this morning a treat?!  The swell seems to have jumped a touch, perhaps not so much in size but there a definitely a little more energy etched into our corner of the Tasman today.

As You Were

Well, wasn't that just a special weekend of waves!  It was solid, offshore and some places were reportable as "good as it gets" all wrapped in Spring sunshine.  A rare bird indeed!  I only had a

Heaving

The South Swell is heaving today.  Manly's barely tipping 2ft but just a short drive up the Beaches it's a hefty double-overhead.  There's plenty of juice on offer if you want to exposed yourself to

The Usual

The South Swell has arrived this morning although finding any quality out there was a challenge.  I did the usual - Surf check here; surf check there, yeah, nah.  Sure there's waves, but nothing

Studio Light

There may not be any swell but it was a morning you'd be thanking yourself for getting up and out the door early. Sometimes the sun and clouds combine so perfectly you couldn't plan light

Scarcity

Waves are scarce but the sunshine is abundant today. I went for a swim with a handful of hopefuls at Freshy this morning.  The waves are small and weak but the water is so inviting.  Results were
