It might be Friday the 13th but there's nothing too scary about this morning. It's a mild one on just about all measures. The temperature at dawn was comfortable, there's a light onshore wind only just disturbing the…

Stellar

It's Thursday and our run of swell continues. This morning the swell has angled around to the east so Manly's seeing a greater share of the energy, it feels like it might even be a touch bigger than yesterday.

Not much to say about this morning other than it's a good one! Real good! The sun's out, there's 4ft+ of SE swell and the wind is a very favourable light offshore.

The Slide

The south swell is up but it's wind affected and raw and already sliding down the metrics. Looks like the peak of the swell was around 10pm last night at 5.5m and it's been on a slowish decline ever since….

Well that was a wild weekend and there's more to come! Strong winds and a solid southerly swell are bolting up the Tasman and by this afternoon it's going to be triple overhead at the most exposed south-facing beaches…

Window

Oh yeah, there's still waves out there this morning! In fact, I'd say it might be up a touch on yesterday's morning. The swell direction is still east although the low tide and a little overnight wind created a little…

Spring Winds

Good morning! In fact, it's a sensational morning! Waves are good, wind's light and offshore and you can really feel that change of season. I wandered out the door in shorts and a t-shirt today and straight down the…

Hello Sunshine

Count it down, we're about to say farewell to Winter and hello Spring. On a day like this when the wind's onshore, your nose is running and it's cold and raining outside, it's easy to slip into relief for another passing…

This morning's sunrise was a beautiful collision of opposites. Light and dark, sunshine and rain coming together to create a spectacle of epic proportions directly overhead. If you happened to be lucky…

Nice to wake up to a clean, refreshing offshore wind this morning. The last couple of days of showers and onshore winds have been a snooze festival for me - sorry I've missed the posts but it's nice to hit the snooze…

The Numbers

If all the numbers stack up, today's a pretty good day to be using up that flex-time you've been saving, or maybe the winter flu has finally caught up with you. You feel ok? Cough cough…

Rising

The wind we've been preparing for all week is now howling past our window and the south swell is on the jump. Queenscliff had sets a little overhead at first light and I imagine it's got to be at least twice…

Calm Before

All was reasonable calm on the beach this morning. There's signs of the south swell out to sea but it's mostly sailing on past us. Even the wind was relatively quiet this morning. If you had the day off there'd be a few…

Good Things...

Sorry... bit of a late post today. Nope, I didn't shout myself a sleep in today, I just figured I'd give the tide a little time to fill in. The wait paid off too! It was almost flat at first light and by mid-morning we had genuine 2…

One Day

Sunday's Nor'easter has blown up a beautiful little NE wind swell this morning. It's head-high on the sets and perfectly groomed by a light offshore. These little wind's only last a day so go find yourself a slice…
