Delight

Did you catch that little bit of dawn colour this morning? We've had so many muted sunrises this summer that even a hint of colour in the morning is like a breath of fresh air. The early morning sky had peach and…

Rising

Oh boy, it's a warm and humid start to Tuesday out there. It was mid-twenties at 7am and dragging a camera bag around the sand was sweaty work!

Po-ten-tial

How about that heat yesterday! This summer so far we've been spared the serious heat by a cooling seabreeze that's fending off the hot air from the west. Yesterday we weren't so lucky; I reckon it must have hit at least 40˚ …

Early Glass

It's another morning of pure glass on the water. I can't remember a run of three days of such calm conditions extending so long into the morning smack-bang in the middle of summer; even the late afternoon's…

Champagne

Champagne conditions outside today! The faintest puff of offshore wind, a steady stream of NE swell and all the sunshine you could ask for. Even the water's cleared up a bunch already after that downpour…

Monday Love

We're on a run of Mondays! Last Monday we had a solid dose of South swell and this morning the nor'east swell is on the pulse! It's 4ft on the sets and plenty of waves. The wind is currently a lazy 1 knot from the north…

Sweet Rain!

Oh yeah, ti's raining! I can't remember a time when there's been such collective hope and joy for 3 days straight of rain. Bring it on! Now let's hope that just the right amount of rain is falling where's it's needed most.

Pleasant

I had such a pleasant swim this morning. The swells eased right back but the conditions were oily and the sea was like a mirror reflecting a smoke-tinted pink sunrise. If it wasn't for the smoke you might think…

Fun + Sun

Oh boy the waves were fun this morning! The swell's eased a touch in size and period but the slight angled of east that's been added to the south swell means just about everywhere's getting a slice of it.

Good News

The south swell has jumped overnight, the wind's light and the sun's trying to break free of the clouds and smoke. Good news on three fronts, unless of course today's your first day back on the tools…

Freshy Help Out

While the bushfire danger around the country continues, the one bright shinning beacon to emerge is the community support that's sprung in overwhelming gallons. Everything from mega-million dollar global funds

Back?

Morning. Back on the tools? Or hanging out in holiday mode wondering whether work would be a better option right now? It's been something of a sombre summer; a far cry from the usual jovial summer vibe that Sydney steps into …

41˚

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…

URBNSURF

Imagine 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…

Spoiler

I 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…

Screen Time Too

Pipe 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…

Screen Time

Morning! 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…
