My first trip out the door was abruptly halted before it even began. With what looked like a bit of colour starting to glow in the east, I took one step outside and promptly retreated as the first downpour of the…

Wow! What a lightshow this morning's sunrise turned out to be. These warm steamy mornings with storms brewing about the place seem to served up all the right ingredients for a fire sky. Even after the sun had risen…

What way to roll into the weekend. After the wild light show of last night, it's calm, sunny and warm on the beach this morning. Seemed like a warming yellow filter in the atmosphere making for soft Hollywood style lighting…

It's a beautiful day out there; sunshine, warmth and a small, surfable little nor'east wind swell. I swam out at dawn this morning totally oblivious to the tragedy that unfolded at Little Bay, near Maroubra yesterday afternoon. We all know…

Morning! Not a whole lot happening swell-wise this morning and the sun was hiding out behind a thick bank of clouds for the first hour. The light was almost as flat as the waves. Still, there's just enough wind swell to push…

Oh man, that swell faded fast! I guess we scored a couple of days of it but today it's back to 1-2ft of lumpy, junky wind swell. The wind's only just trying to get around to the north west after blowing nor'east most…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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.
