The wind has angled around to the south but the east swell just keeps rolling in. We're on a stellar run of waves and judging by the crowds this morning, 5 days of super fun surf must be taking their toll on arms…

How are the arms feeling? Mine are well and truely cooked after a big couple of days of surfing. From double overhead on Saturday morning to cooking kegs at lunchtime it's been a feast of quality waves for the last…

A lot can happen in 24 hours! Yesterday, with rain set in and an onshore sou-easter, I took the morning off shooting and went surfing. In the hour and a half I was in the water, the waves doubled in size and became…

The east swell is slowly inching up a notch or two. It's 2ft this morning with the odd bigger one and the forecast trajectory is looking positive. I spent the morning dodging heaving 1 footers on a shallow sandbank…

As the adage goes, red sky in the morning, shepherd's warning and today we had a quick blast of rich colour overhead as the sun fought its way through the clouds. There's rain afoot but it hasn't found…

Finally something different to talk about on the weather front. This week, the Bureau's forecast has showers from Tuesday through to Thursday. It's going to feel a bit weird walking out the door without that beautiful autumn…

Depending on which end of the beach you're at, it's either dead flat or 1 foot with the odd 2 footer. Down south is like a lake, the perfect morning for the daily pilgrimage across Cabbage Tree Bay to Shelly Beach. If surfing's…

Sunset, moonrise. Moonset, sunrise. It's a cycle that's on repeat with the moon slipping out of time with the sun by an hour every turn of the earth. As surfers, we're intrinsically connected to the moon by the shift of the…

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…
