Lunacy

It's another perfect autumn day out there, albeit a little on the cooler side. I guess winter's only days away so a little chill is to be expected. The swell's still rolling in from the east but I reckon the 8:34 high tide was stifling…

D'light

Yesterday's surge in east swell has eased a touch overnight, making it way more user-friendly. This morning it's head-high with the occasional overhead set wave. Today's the kind of day that should have something for…

Surge

The swell is up big-time this morning! It's pushed in early and it's bigger than most of forecast's had slated. There's a bit of morning wobble to it thanks to overnight northerlies and the high tide is adding some extra…

Mixed

Bit of mixed bag out there this Monday morning. Only brief moments of sunshine and the odd passing shower. It was good news for those that enjoy their surf's spaciously socially distanced.

All Over

The clouds were zooming across the horizon this morning shifting the light from brief moments of sunshine to dark moody clouds and all the tones and textures in between. By now, the clouds have set in overhead…

Curl + Curl

The south swell is trucking past Sydney this morning and there's plenty of waves about, especially on the beaches exposed to a little more south swell. It's 3ft, with a well spaced-out 5ft set every 10 minutes or so...

On The Rise

Sun's out, wind's offshore and the south swell is on the rise. First look didn't reveal much change in size from yesterday, but the tide's on it's way back in and the new south swell is starting to show. I saw a handful…

Cool Crisp

It's a cool and crisp Monday morning out there! It was 10 degrees when I stepped outside at 6:15 and that sou-westerly wind was biting at every bit of exposed skin; a not-so-gentle reminder that winter is a matter of weeks…

On Again!

We're on again! Yep, waves a plenty, sunshine and offshore winds. It's been a continuously running theme this whole autumn. This morning there's a steady stream of 3 footers out of the east groomed clean by a light…

Surfed Out?

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…

Mellowed

Solid!

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…

Grey Glass

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…

Shift

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…

End to End

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…

Set & Rise

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…
