I See Rights

Way too many lefts in yesterday's post for my liking. Yeah lefts are fun and all, but when you're standing left-foot forward you dream of rights. I didn't see a left the whole morning - none!! I had the regular footers blinkers on…

First Tuesday

It's the first Tuesday of November and it's a rosy day if you're in Sydney. The sun's out, wind's a light offshore and the waves are on the pump! We're talking 3 to 5ft, clean, hollow, peaky and a truckload of energy streaming…

Unsettled

Look out the window and you'll see plenty of blue sky right now. It was a whole different story at dawn this morning. We had clouds lurking heavily overhead, the odd light shower, an occasional burst of sunlight…

Sunshine Aplenty

Plenty of sunshine and just enough swell to fling a couple of runners down the high-tide banks at first light this morning. It's 2ft, offshore and Friday. And, after a rainy week around town that's a winning combo heading…

All-Comers

We've got waves! It's raw and wind affected but it's the real thing; punchy and powerful chunks of swell from the South-East! Ok, it's not pretty but if you play the patience game there's good ones in amongst the…

Friday Rise

Morning, how you doing? It's Friday - yew! I can get down with that! It's been a funny week for waves in Manly with barely surfable conditions since last weekend. The stiff nor'easters haven't managed to blow up…

Colour

We had a little colour about the sky this morning; just the right amount of cloud cover to cast some broad brushstrokes of pink, purple and orange across the dawn sky. It's been a run of grey mornings…

Sunshine Supply

We've got sunshine in ample supply this morning. It's warm on the sand and warm(ish) in the water with just a tiny wind swell lapping on the low-tide banks. Surfable? Hmmm, maybe... you'll need to be a 40kg grommet…

Spring in the Air

Morning! We've got a light drizzle falling outside on this Spring Monday in Sydney. The rain's a welcome change, especially after a hazard reduction burn jumped containments and flared up late on Saturday…

Diffused

Yet another sweet spring morning out there today. There's a veil of haze or salt in the air adding a soft defused, yellow quality to the light. It's a nice light for shooting; makes everything look warm and summery.

The Seabin

Imagine a bin that sits just below the surface of the water quietly skimming rubbish and contaminants from harbours and waterways before they reach the open ocean. That's the idea that lead Pete Ceglinski to invent…

Normal?

Morning! How you doing out there? School holidays must be just about all wrapped up for the year so we can settle in, take a deep breath and focus on the home stretch of the bizarre year that 2020…

About Friday...

There's something about Friday's right now. Maybe it's a spring thing, maybe it's just a coincidence but the first two Friday's of October have been sensational days. Last week I took to the air and shot from a heli 1000ft…

Suit Up!

Can you believe it's October already? We're three months out from 2021 and I reckon there's a few people already eying the milestone ready to put 2020 in the rearview. But we get there we've got three…

50 Shades

There's some solid lumps of south swell about this morning. It's 3ft with the odd long-period 5ft set sneaking in off the horizon. The bigger sets look pretty straight but there's plenty of surfable ones in between….
