We're in for a hot one in Sydney today; a top of 41˚ with thick smoke in the air! I hope you managed to sneak a little refreshing ocean time this morning or maybe you convince your boss that you'll be far more…
Read MoreImagine waves on tap! The dream of a turquoise lagoon with mirrored waves peeling left and right under a bright blue summer sky in Melbourne. 8 wave sets dialled in every 2 minutes for 7 hours - do the math; that's…
Read MoreI was really hoping for a light offshore this morning. I had my target bank all lined up from the water, alarm set. But the party spoiler arrived around 3am when the southerly busted through Sydney dropping the temps…
Read MorePipe is off (too big!) and the Jaws Big Wave Challenge is running in mega Peahi, Maui. These guys are doing crazy stuff on waves that are so out of scale it's almost incomprehensible. I just watched Nathan Florence…
Read MoreMorning! The best surfing today is (was) on your screen. The Pipe Masters has commenced and today the waves were classic, clean Pipeline perfection. The scene was straight out of a dream with blue sky, turquoise…
Read MoreA cloudy, overcast sky never looked so good! We've got fresh-air again, at least that's the case on the beaches where the southerly has cleared the sky like an over powered leaf-blower. Breath it in! Ah yes, that…
Read MoreSydney's choked with smoke once again; eyes are sore, throats are scratchy, lungs are feeling it, and we're probably the lucky ones because our backyards aren't burning. I try and keep these posts on the positive side
Read MoreGood afternoon. That light sea-breeze outside is refreshing. I don't think it's blown away all the smoke just yet but there's definitely been the occasional glimpse of blue sky.
Read MoreAnother day, another summery smoked filtered sunrise. Beautiful maybe but the scary reality of these sunrises and sunsets is starting to sink in. No matter which way the wind blows smoke is coming our way as fires burn…
Read MoreThe south swell has bumped up a notch or two this morning. Even the Manly stretch had a tiny wave at first light which is a big improvement on the lake-like conditions of the last couple of days.
Read MoreAnother beautiful smoke filtered sunrise over the sea this morning followed by some soft Californian-style sunlight flooding over the beaches. There's a little bit of south swell about but virtually none of it is getting into Manly.
Read MoreHope you caught a glimpse of the sunrise this morning; it was beautiful and apocalyptic all at once. One big red fireball rising out of the sea casting a pinkish hue across the sand. Amazing light at sunrise…
Read MoreGood morning, happy Monday and welcome to Summer. The current weather situation has snow in the Australian Alps, bushfires threatening some of our favourite beaches on the South Coast and smoke haze…
Read MoreDifferent scene outside today. The sunshine is gone and the smoke haze has blown back into the city with the nor'easter. The good news is that the overnight onshore has whipped up a feisty little wind swell.
Read MoreIt's an immaculate day out there! Take a look outside, the sun's out, the wind's light and the water is oh-so inviting. At a stretch you could even say there was a nice little wave about before the high tide flooded the
Read MoreFeels like Spring out there today!
This sunrise this morning was good one. Not sure if it was last night's storm clouds hanging off the coast, residual smoke haze or the usual summer humidity but the sun rose above the ocean muted and pink like a…
Read MoreHope you had yourself a good weekend. If you made it down to the Fight For The Bight paddle out on Saturday, nice work! The turn out was huge and the spirit and unity was shinning bright amongst the surf
