Count Down

We're on the countdown to a re-opening of sorts. A revival, a second crack at the restaurant, cafe, retail and bar life where you're not shuffled off the premise as soon as you tap card on the machine. I bet the wish lists…

Flash

After a fiery flash of colour at dawn the light faded quickly and it transitioned into a reasonable dark morning, had a distinct wintery feel to it. I still haven't quite adjusted my body clock to the new daylight savings time 6am…

Bright

How about these spring mornings! We've got another bright sunny day unfurling out there with a light, cool offshore. There's been a bump in south swell overnight, nothing big but the odd 3 foot set closing out…

Nudge

Morning! How you guys doing? It's been a week since my last post and a whole lot has changed. We've flipped the calendar over to October, nudged the clocks forward an hour and the first wave of COVID restrictions…

Sets

The sets caught me well and truely off guard this morning. First glance it was thinking it was 1 to maybe 2ft; a bit smaller than yesterday. But there's some long-period south swell on the water and the sets…

Mellows

Nice morning of waves out there today. The swell's up from the south and the sou-westerly offshore has groomed the waves super clean. The swell's not going to hang around long, it could be a one day event. The wind's forecast…

One Day

Nice morning of waves out there today. The swell's up from the south and the sou-westerly offshore has groomed the waves super clean. The swell's not going to hang around long, it could be a one day event. The wind's forecast…

Brisk Change

Morning - how you doing? The last couple of days have been a glimpse back to the good ol' days of bright warm, sunshine and socialisation in Sydney. The picnic weekend was in full swing on every available slice…

Five + Five

Clean swell from the SSE and a light offshore from the nor-west has all the elements of really good waves this morning. Only problem is the sand. Feels like there's too much of it in all the wrong places right now. There's so…

Passing

Plenty of passing showers and changing light out on the ocean this morning. It's a wintery morning with a fresh angle to the swell and fun, peaky waves about between rain squalls. Hopefully the weather will dampen the winds…

Shallow

Tough swim this morning. The tide's low and the banks are shallow making it very challenging to keep the lens port clear of sand, grim and water droplets. I think 90 percent of my photos today were blurred…

Sleep In

The sun earned itself a little sleep-in this morning. No doubt it was a little tuckered after a full weekend on the shine so hiding out behind the clouds for an extra 30mins this morning was to be expected. It was a big weekend…

Alarmed

This morning's sunrise was an absolute belter! Wild vivid colours and a sky full of textured clouds made it one of the most spectacular I've seen in ages. If you want to catch these you'll need to start setting the alarm…

Bonzer

Morning! Bonzer of a day out there! 27 degrees is on the card for Sydney today with sunshine and warm west, nor-west offshore winds. While the predominant swell is still from the south, yesterday's onshore breeze…

Nous

Nice waves on hand this morning; if you can find the good ones. The swell's got a bit of surface lump and bump to it but the offshore is up from the WNW at 7kts and doing its best to groom it clean. As with these south swells…

Fresh Bump

Fresh bump of south swell to start the week and a brisk little offshore grooming the ocean clean; this morning feels like we're back in Winter and we're not complaining. We've got a couple of days of south swell ahead…

Tilt

It may seem a little like Groundhog Day at the moment, but one thing that marches on with or without us is our journey around the sun. It's the first day of Spring and the tilt of the earth is turn back in our favour.

Good Things

Lovely day out there for the final day of winter. Sun's out, wind's offshore and we're heading to 23 degrees. It's been hard to remain constantly upbeat and optimistic during the 10 weeks of lockdown, especially when…
