It's a cool and damp Tuesday morning out there. I spent the most of watching the rain radar on my phone before eventually heading out to duck and weave the passing showers. The good news is that the swell's still…

Today marks the Winter Solstice, the shortest day of the year. Between sunrise and sunset we've got 9 hours and 53 minutes, plus our favourite moments of dawn and dusk. A quick glance outside your window…

It's calm and quiet out there this morning. Hardly a breath of wind and just enough swell on the water for the odd longboard runner if you can find a bank shallow enough. It's a picture of tranquility.

Morning! It's another clean, crisp day out there with the plenty of winter sun streaming onto the beaches, once it eventually made it above the horizon that is. Today's sunrise was one of the latest of the year, 6:59am…

Lovely little log waves out on the edge of the lagoon this morning. We've got long little right runners, the rare punchy left and long, long, long waits between sets. With the late sunrise and a slow, sleepy swell, it's a tough…

We're one week out from the Winter Solstice and entering the darkest weeks of the year. We're going to loose another minute between now and the 21 of June before the day's get longer and the earth's tilt begins to…

It's a cool, crisp and clear morning out there, single digits on the sand but the water's a relatively accommodating 19 degree. It's sweet relief to get the toes into the brine after a dash across some very frosty…

All the coming and going of assorted of clouds has made for colourful sunrises and interesting sky's this week. This morning was another good one for the cloud appreciation society with a bright flare up of light…

Crazy light out there this morning - wow! Such was the intensity and vivid quality of the light, it became a struggle to capture the full dynamic range of what was unfolding. If you were shooting with your phone…

First Monday of the winter and it's not all that bad out there. Cool but not cold with a nice glow in the sky at dawn and a neat little south swell trickling in to the more exposed reaches. We've got a day of sunshine…

Delightful Friday morning happening out there. The Bureau is talking up showers and a stiff southerly change late in the day but for now the sun is out, the wind is a light, cool offshore and it's a perfectly pleasant day. For the first time…

If you decided to hit the snooze button this morning I don't blame you. It's been a big handful of days of surfing with solid, surfable swell since last Friday. Give the body a bit of time to recover. This morning the…

Another day another run of quality, peaky east swell on The Beaches. We're having a good run right now aren't we? There might be another day left in the east swell, albeit smaller, before a fresh bump of south swell kicks…

he waves are pumping out there this morning! Big clean and hollow! As the swell has slowly faded and swung around to a more easterly angle it almost feels like it's getting bigger at North Steyne. This morning…

The swell might not have come in the expected "mega" scale over the weekend, not here at least, but there's plenty of grunt left in the tail! As the swell angles around to the east a little The Beaches will start to see a
