Ex-TC

G'day - how you doing?  Been a while hasn't it... I ducked up the coast for a week of surfing and came back with the dreaded virus. Couple of days in bed, 7 days inside but we're back to business.  Good to be back outside…

Harbour Vista

Today's post comes from the other side, the Harbourside that is. It's the perfect place to sneak away from the summer crowds, enjoy a little morning shade and swim in the clean, clear, settled waters of Sydney Harbour.  The Harbour…

Easy

Back to normal summer programming on the beach this morning. The wind's up from the nor'east (just a light 4kts) and there's a weak wind swell limping in from the east with just enough push to it. You might not bother…

Fine Line

The east swell has edged up a notch this morning and there's no shortage of punch out in the water. It's head-high-plus on the sets, a little lumpy, a touch unruly but if you like a little extra weight in your waves you'll enjoy…

Sou'West

Nice little offshore wind at first light this morning; in fact I think the sou'wester is still lightly feathering a neat little east swell out there as I type this at 10am. The conditions are reminiscent of autumn, without the chill. It's 2ft, offshore…

Sou'East

After such a promising start, the week deteriorated into onshore winds and rain squalls. There were some magic moments of waves, especially in the earlier part of the week but the sou-easter has been dominant…

Happy 2022 to you! It's been a wild one already hasn't it!?! Cyclones, volcano's, tsunami's and that little virus is still kicking around disrupting the state of play. I hope you're safe and well where ever you find…

Home

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…

Nice morning out there! We've got sunshine waves and warm water. It's the kind of days we've been hanging out for all summer so far.

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…

Morning. Well, the grey starts have set in as the norm so far this summer and this morning is no exception. The sky is heavy with clouds with only the rarest moment of light as the sun shifted briefly between cracks…

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…
