DAILY POSTS

It's the final days of SurFebruary and I reckon almost everyone in the line up today was part of the fundraising effort for Chris O'Brien Lifehouse. One of the benefits of committing to surf everyday in a calendar month…

Yesterday's blissful morning offshore is a memory, blown out of town by a stiff southerly change late in the day yesterday. This morning, the east swell is still battling its way, mixed in with some fresh energy from the…

Finally! After a week of onshore winds, moments of bumpy semi-glass and and a few false starts, the offshore's finally turned up to groom the swell into something presentable. It's clean and solid; a couple of notches up in size..

Keen for a wind change? Yeah me too! It's been a week of onshore easterlies with the occasional period of semi-smoothness as passing showers dampen the wind. Even during those moments of slack wind, the swell…

No respite from the easterly airflow this morning. It's 15 knots from the ESE and even the most protected corner of the beach is wind affected. On the bright side, there's bucket loads of sunshine, a building east swell…

Another morning of mixed fortunes out there today. There's waves, even the hint of a light offshore breeze but you had to be really skilled, really fortunate or a combination of both to find anything surfable out there.

Tough day to be back in 'the office' this morning. The pouring rain on the window woke me just before my phone alarm this morning and the view outside was grim; dark, wet, windy. Not exactly what I was…

Happy Friday to you! I know it's been a long week back on the tools but we're almost across the line and into another weekend. Just a few more hours and two days of summer await..

After a few showers this morning, the sun's shining bright now and it's looking like it'll settle into a reasonable fine day. The swell's up from the south and the low-tide banks were serving up the odd good one between guillotine….

Bit of a rainy kind of morning out there today. My initial journey out the door was a brief one; the passing showers didn't pass and forced me home to suit up and take the camera for a swim. Well worth it though!

After a couple of false starts, a public holiday kind-a long weekend, a big south swell and a whole bunch of talk about COVID, we've already arrived at the first day of February and reality is setting in; 2021 has started…

Well that swell finally made its presence felt yesterday with solid waves in the morning and then a serious jolt of extra energy in the afternoon. I snuck out of town for a session in the morning before I was locked into…

If you set your alarm all amped for a heavy dose of southern ocean energy this morning you might have ended up sipping coffee and chasing seals like me. There's definitely a little more push out on the Tasman but…

We've had a shift in weather this morning. Gone is the light summer sea breeze and warm air; this morning the air's got a different feel, the energy in the ocean is rising and the clouds are racing past overhead fuelled…

When the temperature is 22 degrees and the sun is shining at 6am it's time to roll out the door and soak up a bit of summer. It's another sensation morning and heaps of people soaking it up.

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…
