Uesi is delivering the flowers for Sydney surfers this morning. The much anticipated swell courtesy of TC Uesi has arrived and it's filling in fast. I reckon I saw it jump from 4ft to 8ft between 6:30 and 7:30 this morning.
Read MoreI had a sleep in this morning; took one look out the window around the time the sun should have been rising and rolled right back to bed. It was dark and cloudy with rain threatening and a light onshore breeze in the trees...
Read MoreThe vis was way down this morning with a thick, humid fog hanging heavy from cliff to cliff. I couldn't really figure out what was going on with the swell, sand and wind so I just suited up and trailed Jarrad Howse…
Read MoreIt always takes a day or two for the inertia in the ocean to settle after a storm like we experienced over the weekend. Yesterday's calm winds left the ocean glassy but still raw with an ominous edge. This morning…
Read MoreThat 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…
Read MoreThe 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…
Read MoreThis 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…
Read MoreMorning! 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…
Read MoreIt'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…
Read MoreDid 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…
Read MoreOh 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!
Read MoreHow 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˚ …
Read MoreIt'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…
Read MoreChampagne 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…
Read MoreWe'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…
Read MoreOh 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.
Read MoreI 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…
Read MoreOh 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.
