Before the grey clouds and gloom set in this morning there was 10 or so glorious minutes of bright pinks and oranges as the sun burst its way over the horizon. You probably saw it too; feels like most of Manly was up…

The sun's out, wind's offshore and there's still plenty of residual east-south-east corduroy lining up into our beaches. It's smaller but the sets are still nudging head-high and it's as clean as. The only thing gloomy is the…

Oh man, the waves just keep on coming! Yesterday swell's XL swell caught me off guard. Maybe I wasn't paying close enough attention but I certainly wasn't expecting to see triple overhead waves when I woke up…

It's probably old news to you now but just in case you haven't left the house since Lockdown 3.0 began, the waves are pumping! Saturday was firing, Sunday was good, Monday was cooking and today it's pretty bloody…

I went for a swim as the dark clouds rolled in from the south this morning. It was dark and quiet at first light, as you'd expect it to be on a cold, rainy winter's morning day 2 of a citywide lockdown. It's prime time for a sleep in…

The best place to watch the sunrise is floating at sea level and this morning's was a special one. Broad brushstrokes of vivid pinks and oranges against a cool blue northern sky created the most beautiful…

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…

The forecast for this morning was pretty grim but the reality was pretty mild. Hardly a drop of rain and just a light wind. Even the sun had a moment of freedom and seems to have broken clear of the clouds for now.
