DAILY POSTS

There's lots to do in Byron but top of the list for almost everyone at some stage during their visit is to catch sunrise at Cape Byron Lighthouse. As Australia's most easterly point, if you make up the hill in time

I'm on the northern side of the Queensland/NSW border where the sun still rises at 5:30am. Daylight Savings hasn't made it to these parts yet so you can surf, grab a coffee, salute the sun and read a book, all while you

Apologies for the lack of posts of late. I've heard there's been some fun waves back home at Manly (typical when I leave!).  For me, the last two days have been spent mostly at the wheel of my '89 VW Transporter…

Good morning and a very happy Monday to you! If you like warm oceans and sunshine then you're in for a treat of a week, well at least the first half anyway. The Tasman is a bath right now

It might be farewell to summer on the calendar but I get the feeling it'll be a long and drawn out goodbye. The water feels like it's at an all-time warmth and there's a band of hot air moving up the continent which will see

This morning was a treat. Like one of those sweet treats from a fancy bakery that you think is going to be good but it's oh-so much better when you bite into it.

These kind of morning's definitely excite the photographer in me more than the surfer. Sure the waves were ok, people were getting fun waves and doing their thing, but I was in it for the light!

Oh joy! Finally we have a dawn with offshore winds and a silky smooth ocean.  Feels like an age ago since we've been graced with an offshore and it sure makes a different to the aesthetic of the experience.

The onshore wind was up early this morning taking the shine off surface conditions giving the Tasman a serious case of Monday bedhead. It's a pity because…

It's Friday and I reckon, given all the excitement regarding TC Oma at the beginning of the week, we're all probably wondering what happened?  Seems TC Oma got a little lost…

One year ago yesterday I arrived on the hill at Kirra to the pulse of TC Gita filling in the sand-bottom points under light offshore winds. I'd driven all night from Sydney, napping once around Coffs Harbour but only for…

This morning will be defined by change. Cloudy dawn, sunshine at 8 and the wind swinging around the compass from east to north, then west before a southerly change settles in for the next couple of days. 

A happy Monday morning to you! Looks like we're in for a week of waves across the whole east Coast of Australia. The Gold Coast points came alive for the first time this summer with an entrée serving of swell

We're on for another champagne day in Sydney. The ocean was slightly ruffled and there were clouds about at first light but around 8am, the wind dropped completely and conditions turned all silky smooth blue…

Morning! How you doing today? I've been struggling with some weird chest cough for days now. I thought I'd kicked it until that dust storm rolled in Tuesday afternoon and flattened me again. I've had so much raw…

Well, wasn't yesterday a special one?! It's not often all the elements come together but the confluence of a fresh spike of East swell and all day offshore winds is bound to create something memorable.

Summer's coming back like an an oven today. It's still pretty mild out there right now but by this afternoon the Westerly wind is going to be blowing hot air from the interior through Sydney like an unwanted hair-dryer.
