If there's one thing that we've come to learn this year, it's that change can happening rapidly. But, it's been in the slower moments that deeper change has taken hold. A timeline of our collective attention in 2020 is…

We had a little bit of sneaky colour at dawn this morning. It didn't last long, but at least it broke the cloudy, overcast deadlock we've been in this week and it's planted a little hope for some sun later in the day. We're in…

It's pretty grim out there this morning. The wind's onshore, it's grey and overcast with a light misty rain keeping visibility to a minimum. While this swell has definitely had the odd moment between wind squalls…

We're kicking off the week with waves - yep it's 2-3ft from the ENE. The swell's on the rise but it's bumpy, lumpy and unruly. The forecast is for a steep jump in swell throughout the day and into tomorrow with a peak

We're in prime swim time. You know that time of the year when temperatures in and out of the water come closer to alignment in the mornings and diving into the ocean as pleasurable as it is salubrious. I try and make…

Red sky in the morning, shepherd's warning... and this morning was a real burner! There's a change coming and we're going to start feel it sometime in the early afternoon today when the wind's swings southerly and…

It's another sensation morning of basking in the sunshine. Light westerly, refreshing ocean and warm sun on the skin. Only thing that's missing is the swell. I guess it must be going straight past us and further…

You'd be hard press to find a city anywhere in the world that basks in Summer quite like Sydney. From world famous beaches like Manly and Bondi to the hidden harbour gems that offer an escape from the city crowds and summer…

After a cloudy dawn it's turned into one fine day out there. Sun's out (it's got some sting in it too!), the wind's light and there's a neat little 2ft SE swell rolling in... surfable on just about anything in your quiver. I snuck down…

Yesterday was all-time classic summer. Warm humid morning, hot sunny day and then an absolute firecracker of a storm late afternoon. I was having a swim harbourside as the first shelf cloud passed over and it was as…

Welcome to Summer.
Despite the cloudy start, Sydney's going to be sunny and warm for the first day of the summer season…

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
