Oh boy, how beautiful is that autumn light! Add a little smoke haze to the soft light of autumn and the morning gets those dreamy Californian/Hollywood vibes to it. Don't panic though, the haze is from a series of hazard

Lovely morning out there. You know the story by now... cool crisp air, light offshore, warm sunshine, etc, etc. It's autumn as you've come to know.

This week has been text book Autumn. It's that combination of cool air and warm sunshine that makes it my favourite time of the year. Add consistent light offshore winds and a steady stream of swell from the east and south…

Yep, it’s another day of glorious warm autumn sunshine out there. The sun's out and the water's clear and warm, I even hear there's a spike of south swell. It's not showing up on our stretch of sand, maybe a beach or…

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.
