Morning! If you were up with the early birds you might have caught that sunrise glow of deep pinks and purples at first light. It was a good one! There was even a crescent moon hanging just above the clouds…

Steamy

What a steamy start to the day in Sydney. It's 24 degrees already and we're on our way to a very warm 35. There's a chance of a severe thunderstorm this afternoon before a strong southerly change knocks us down…

Early Start

I snuck out the door just in time to catch a little colour on the horizon moments before 6am this morning. It was more of a warm spring glow than a full sunrise burner but worth the commitment to an early start. Is there…

Late Show

For a day forecast as sunny, it took some time for the main guest to show up. I took a peek out the window at 6am to a full sky of clouds. Even at 9:30 the sun had only show itself in glimpses. With a light onshore messing..

Fickle

There's a fair bit of swell out there this morning. The lion's share is missing us in Manly but there's the odd overhead set sneaking in and rattling the banks. The reality is it's mostly straight with the odd fickle corner.

No Trace

After all that wind yesterday afternoon and evening, I wasn't expecting a sunny, glassy morning out on the sand. But it's a good morning; real nice in fact! The wind's a light westerly now and there's no trace of that 20knot…

Silver Linings

The silver ling to a week of relentless northerlies and damp is a lively, peaky nor-east wind swell groomed clean by 10 knots of west-south-west wind. It's looking real nice out there this morning, a classic spring set up…

Drab

Bit of a damp, drab start to the week so far and it looks as though there's more rain to come. Kind of ironic that this weather has set in on the day we get to stroll on in to our favourite cafe or pub, pull up a chair and hang…

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…

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…
