Early Bird

The early birds were treated to a spectacular dawn sky this morning. The sky lit up with a full blanket of pink and orange textured clouds spread from north to south overhead. While the waves have been a bit quiet…

Scene Change

I took a walk around the harbour side today. In these days of restricted movement, stay-at-home, 10k rule, etc, a change of scene is as much like a holiday as you're going to find. If you want to get away from the hustle…

Personal Space

Morning! How you doing out there? Hope you're doing ok. Can you believe we're in week 5 of the current lockdown with not even a peek over the horizon out of this situation thus far? Tough times for businesses…

Unseen

It's been a good year for waves so far. Plenty of big days, heaps of mid-size days; we've had sustained week-long swells and plenty of surfable stuff in between. The banks have been good, the swell direction…

Stayin' Local

What a sensational day it is out there! Sun's out, swell's up from the SSE in the head-high-plus range and the wind's a light nor-wester. It's a textbook winter day in Sydney. If your colleague blanked their Zoom meeting…

Persistence

Tough morning out and about. Man, that wind is cold! 20 knots of sou-wester stripping the body of warmth rendering my trigger finger almost so stiff I couldn't hold the barrel of the lens. A quick glance out the window…

Morning. How you doing?
Tough times in Sydney but we are so lucky we've still got access to the ocean. This morning it's more like a lake than the mighty Pacific…

Dawn Hour

While Sydney was waking up to possibly the toughest week of restrictions since the rona hit our shores nature was putting on a light show to remind us there's beauty in the simple things; a walk on the sand, swim…

Slow Wave

Nice to swim out into the sunrise and enjoy a little space and quiet. Feels like the ocean has calmed and the normal fast pace of city living has slowed to a point that aligns with the situation we're in. While health…

T-Shirts

What a day it is outside! We've hit 23 degrees in Sydney, the sun is shining and blue sky abounds. The puffy jackets are off, ugg's have been left at home and the t-shirts and shorts are out in full force. Oh yeah, it feel nice to

Before The Grey

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…

Social Distance

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…

Continuity

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…

Extension

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…

Day Nine

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…
