DAILY POSTS

How about that weekend? What a scorcher! A pair of the hottest days in recent memory, thankfully they fell over the course of a weekend. Officially we might not have tipped 40 degrees (39.8 degrees both days) in Manly…

Black Friday? Nah, more overcast with a couple of shades of grey out there this morning. It's cooler than yesterday thanks to a late southerly change last night but that cool air isn't going to last. Tomorrow we'll hit 33…

Is it summer yet? Nah, still 6 days til we kick off the summer season officially but it's feeling like the season has set in already. Warm and sunny today, warm and sunny tomorrow then the weekend really steps up…

The grommets were absolutely dominating this morning. Everywhere I looked, a micro grom fuelled up on breakfast cereal was speeding towards a section ready to blast the back out of it. The waves were well suited…

Heavy sky and a flat ocean out there this morning. But, if you don't mind a little wait and the odd false-start, there was just enough energy in the Tasman to get up and riding. There was literally only two surfers the…

It was a mixed bag out there this morning. A little colour to light up dawn and a heap of short period wind swell pushing across the bank. If you surfed and found yourself struggling to paddle out in 1 foot waves you're

The south end of Manly beach is usually a hive of activity, but at this time of year it really comes alive. Swimmers, surfers, walkers, stretchers, sitter all converge to move the body, soak up a little morning

Patchy sunshine and weak onshore waves were the order of the day this morning. Surf? Nah! Good thing I had an appointment with a tub full of ice, otherwise I might have stayed in bed for an extra hour's slumber. Team…

Stay cool, we're in for a real warm one in Sydney today. 33 degrees is the forecast top before a late southerly sends a little cool air our way. There was a light northerly sea breeze fanning cooler air across the sand…

Morning! Take a look out your window right now, it's a proper sensational spring day out there! Sydney's a special place to be when she turns on days like these. The forecast is for sunshine all day and sunset isn't until…

Afternoon! Nah, I didn't sleep in and yes wasn't that a beautiful sunrise out there this morning! One of those mornings when the sun and clouds cook up a tasty combo of bright light and dark shadows. It was a real nice…

I don't mind my Monday morning's being a little drab. Who needs all the bells and whistles like sunshine and offshore winds distracting you when there's a full week of work ahead. The clouds look like they've set in…

It's another wet morning out there. I spent the morning dodging showers, trying to find a dry spot and bank that was doing it. Theres no shortage of swell. It's +4ft, south and mostly straight on the early low-tide. Despite a howling…

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…

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…

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…

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…
