DAILY POSTS

That was a weekend of seriously wild weather! I can't remember wind and rain as consistent and prolonged, it's no wonder we're waking up to an altered landscape outside. The Manly Lagoon has morphed…

The sun was playing hide-and-seek this morning and winning. Apart from a few stray rays here and there, the sun didn't reveal itself until after 8am. The waves seem to be playing a similar game; one moment…

This morning might not have been the best day for a photo shoot, but it was probably the ideal day to showcase the spirit of SurFebruary. If you haven't heard of it, SurFebruary is an initiative of Aaron & Jenna-Lea…

Morning! It's probably the kind of Monday you were hoping for... a little drizzle, grey sky and that comfortable but cosy ambient temperature outside. It's a nice contrast to Saturday's sunshine and heat and fine…

It's a warm and humid day out there; 27 degrees already on our way to 3. That's nothing compared to our friends down in Melbourne who are going to sweat through a 41˚ day. We're in for a run of hot days in Sydney…

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…

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!

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˚ …

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 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…

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…

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.

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…

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. 

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…

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

It was a little less smokey out there this morning. Apparently the smoke has blown through New Zealand and made it way right across the pacific to Chile and Argentina. Crazy huh!

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 …
