Yacht LifeIt's another one of those sensational summer morning's out there today and half of Manly turned out for it. Swimming, walking, paddling, running - pretty much everything going down except for surfing…

We're stepping into summer and we even had few moments of sunshine early to celebrate. With La Nina setting in, we may have to get used to jumping up, running outside and soaking up a little sunshine every…

The light is flat but the ocean is still serving up a couple of bumps; it's 3 foot with the odd 4 footer from the south-east. The nice thing about this kind of weather is that it leaves the sea surface super glassy…

After the weekend of showers and strong southerly wind's, a light sou'westerly was just the ticket we needed to clean things up, iron out the lumps and make the beaches surfable again. There was even a moment …

Black Friday, Grey Friday, Wet Friday. Call it what you will the good news is it's a Friday. We've had a wind change overnight, the rain has set in and the southerly is pushing back on the nor'east swell that's been…

If your alarm went off anytime around 5am this morning you might have scored yourself exclusive early access to a near empty beach. It was a grey and damp start to the day, not the kind of morning that rouses…

I timed my run back to Sydney just in time for an easing in the onshore wind. Unfortunately it's also come with a significant drop in swell. Yesterday afternoon's solid 4 footers have dialled back to an easy…

Grey and overcast for your Friday morning; even the odd shower falling across The Beaches. It's not exactly the kind of morning that gets you leaping out of bed and running for the beach. But, if you're keen for a paddle…

Nice spring morning out there today. We had a sweet cast of colour at dawn followed by a warm spread of sunlight as the sun rose between layers of high and low clouds. It's warming up and people are definitely

All of the excitement this morning was happening underwater. There was a large pod of dolphins patrolling the line up between the headlands at Freshwater Beach, swimming under surfers, catching the odd wave…

Where do Tuesdays rank in the days of the week for you? It's one of those necessary days that doesn't strike a cord with anything in particular. I find Tuesday's a good day to put the head down and get a little focus before…

The drizzle continues out there this morning. Not exactly the kind of weather and light that inspires an early start; even the dog was hesitant to walk out the door this morning. But, we've had a good run in 2021. Some fine weather…

Surprising little pulse of nor'east swell groomed clean by an early sou'wester out there this morning. We're talking waist-to-shoulder high little runners rolling in sets of three or four waves. It looked like a whole bunch…

Bit of a grey and dreary morning out on the sand. It wasn't raining, just the odd drizzle with but apparently the showers are coming later. The waves were pretty lacklustre at first light but it you ever wanted to surf Manly…

Don't write them off completely, these summer northerlies have their virtues. For one, they don't attract the kind of crowds that a clean offshore morning draws into the line up. That makes them fertile fields for the grommets…

I spent the morning chasing the sun and running from the rain. It was a varied morning of low clouds, sunshine and showers with some brief moments of beautiful light; even the odd rainbow floating over the west.
