Happy Monday to you!
Looks like a real nice week ahead with sunshine running the full length of the Bureau's five day forecast. We're…

Settled

The wind's eased and the swell's a whole lot more organised this morning. Throw a little sunshine in the mix and it's a pretty good looking day out there for the Thursday. I've only seen the Manly to Queenscliff stretch…

Wild

We've endured some wild weather these last couple of days. Yesterday was cold, one of the coldest days in 40 years I'm told. Snow in the Blue Mountains, trees down all over Sydney. The low-pressure that sitting off…

Fresh Prints

It's cold out and wet out there! Kind of fels like winter in Sydney today which, I'd say, has been a rarity this winter. Looks like the rain has set in for the day and there's some gusty wind ripping up the coast. The offshore Waverider…

Scene Change

Morning. How you guys going out there? Anyone else feeling a little cabin fever? My mind's been wandering to trips up the coast and uncrowded beaches; I even had a dream of travelling overseas one last night…

New Days

New day, new week and a new set of restrictions kicking in across the whole state of NSW. What are we in now, week eight of lockdown here in Sydney? Who'd have thought we'd be in this position 6 months back…

Smoulder

Almost a cracker sunrise out there this morning. It was one of those morning with all the ingredients for a full sky burn. That was until the clouds thickened around the edge of the horizon and left the sunrise…

Spring Feels

There's a distinct spring feel about the morning out on the beachfront today. It was 15 degrees when I walked out the door at 6:30am this morning and we're on our way to 24 degrees - no wonder everyone's out…

Lump + Bump

We've got a little spike in energy out on ocean this morning. It's mix of longer period south swell and nor-east wind swell making for extra bumpy and lump over at Curly. There's some head-high-plus sets, a light…

Appetite

It's a beautiful Friday morning unfurling out there. Sun's shining, south swell's rolling in and there's a light offshore making for dreamy conditions. Take your pick of The Beaches today depending on your appetite

Swell's Back!

The swell's back in town, this time it's rolling up the coast from the south at about 2m with a stiff west-sou-wester grooming it clean as a whistle. Most of the energy is passing by Manly with Freshy catching a touch…

How You Doing?

How you doing out there? Who'd have thought we'd still be in this situation when the two week lockdown was announced five weeks ago? I guess the small consolation is at least we have certainty where we're going…

Salt + Sunshine

The waves might have abandoned us but the sensational sunny weather is sticking around. The official temperature is 16 degrees, but if you find a patch of sunshine out of the wind there's a proper warmth hitting…

Mellow

Cool, mellow morning out on the sand today. The overnight wind has groomed the beach smooth and there's just the tiniest hint of East swell sneaking in under the sou-wester. We're talking ankle-biters; good…

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…
