2021 - what a wild ride! And, at the centre of it all has been our home. Home is an abstract concept. It can be the four walls you retreat to, a place on a map, a feeling, a connection to a place, a community. Whether we've…

Bizarre

What a bizarre 48 hours on The Beaches. A couple of stinkin' hot days, a mini cyclone wreaking havoc and the most memorable sunsets of all time to sign off on the weekend. My thoughts and condolences go out to those…

Mixed Fortune

It's a morning of mixed fortune out there today. You'll find there's no shortage of waves and plenty of push to the swell (3m @ 10sec). Problem is, it's mostly straight. But, every now and then, one comes in on a nice angle…

Sigh

It's another grey ol' day out there with a constant light rain misting over the sand and surrounds. It's a long way from those postcard summer mornings we're all willing to return. Ahh those summer day swimming in…

Sun's Up - Waves Down

Flat Light

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…

Early Access

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…
