Another sensational morning out there. Clean crisp autumn air and warm sunshine when it eventually broke free of the clouds. Cabbage Tree Bay and the southern corner at Manly are sheltered from the sharp…

I'm back in the brine this morning and oh boy does it feel good! I can't think of a better place to watch the sunrise than from floating with your eyes at sea-level or perched on a slice of foam. It's been six weeks since…

How good's autumn! Cooler morning's with clear air and crisp offshore wind's extending into the afternoon - It's a good time of the year and we've had a good run of those classic Sydney autumn morning's of late. This morning…

Real nice autumn morning out there this morning. We had a little bit of colour in the sky at first light followed by warm salubrious sunshine. If surfing's on your agenda today you'll want to pack as foam as you can find…

The south swell has faded but there was no shortage of energy up at the WSL contest bank. Compared to the last couple of mornings, North Narrabeen was looking placid. No nasty backwash or heaving closeouts…

The south swell is still streaming in this morning and surprisingly the banks seems to be handling the size and period. Normally on this kind of swell it'd be straight closeouts from South Steyne to Queensie but today…

Italo Ferreira seems to be winning a lot these days. He's the reigning World Champion winning the last full tour pre-COVID in 2019, he's the current leader of the 2021 WCT and he just took out the Rip Curl Newcastle…

How's this for a Friday! Sensation sunrise, warm sunshine, offshore wind and plenty of juice flowing through from the East. We're heading for a top of 29 degrees; it's going to be a real good Friday!

This morning's had a bit of everything already and it's only 10am. Thunderstorms and downpours while we were sleeping, a thick fog rolling in from the west just after sunrise and now bright sunshine and a light…

Just before first light this morning it was bucketing down; an intense little nugget of red and purple on the radar rolled directly overhead with a tropical soundtrack. By the time I had poured a coffee the rain had stopped…

Did somewhere say it's ON? Nope, this ain't no April Fools joke, competitive surfing is back and it's just up the road in Newcastle. Day one of stop one on the Australian leg of the World Championship Tour is underway.

It's a touch cooler in town today thanks to an easy southerly change last night. The good news is that the changed has added some extra south swell energy to a fading east swell and the banks seemed to be…

What are we up to... is this day 7 of east swell in Sydney? Whatever it is, it's been a stellar run of long period swell and peaky clean waves. The old salts will probably say it was always like this but I can't remember such…

Golden Brown, texture like sun... if you surfed this morning you might find yourself humming this tune all day. Summed it up pretty well. We're on a run of good waves, if you don't mind brown water and a bit of backwash.

One of the best things about these late sunrises (7:02am) is that just about everyone's up for it. This morning's sunrise was the best I've seen in a long while! We had a full sky of fluro pinks and oranges from north to south

Morning! How you doing? Oh I'm doing great thanks! The sun's out, the wind's offshore and if you're will to run the risk of some dubious water quality there's waves to be had. After days of rain and howling onshore winds…

Afternoon. How's it going? I've been hiding out in a self imposed exile of cottonwool, figuratively and literally. This time a week ago I was lying in the recovery suite after having had the surgery to remove 'surfers ear' or…

Morning! Hope you had a good weekend out there, we had some solid waves about yesterday and favourable winds for the most exposed reefs and corners. If you wanted size, there was plenty to chase yesterday.
