Maaaate, should have been here yesterday! Or the day before it you had the constitution for it! What a weekend of waves in Sydney! A powerful south swell roared up the coast on Friday evening and by Saturday morning…

It's cold, dark and wet out there today, we've fast forward through autumn and arrived at winter on April Fool's day. Step outside and you'll see it's no joke!

After a night of roaring southerlies the south swell is in town and it's packing some punch. Conditions are a whole different story to yesterday's afternoon's bonus pulse of nor-east swell that saw pretty much…

These post 7am sunrises are a treat if you covet a sleep in. However if you prefer a paddle before the work and school commitments swing into view, it's a tight squeeze getting your quota before the hourglass…

The rain's back, the ground is saturated and the lagoons and stormwater drains are flowing again. Just when the water was clearing up, the ocean has turned a deeper shade of brown again at Queenscliff. If you're keen…

It's a decent start to the week out there. After a couple of showers this morning, the weather has settled and the light offshore has groomed a pulsey little 3-4ft east swell.

Yesterday's bump in swell is hanging in there this morning although the shine's been taken off it by an early southerly change; the light sou-wester didn't quite make it to sunrise. The wind's up at 10knots from due south…

The waves were cooking this morning. I was shooting reflections of the sunrise when this set came through at North Steyne, peaked and a-framed away a hollow left and perfectly tapered right. I had to double-take…

Morning. I took a survey of the beach between Queenscliff and North Steyne over the weekend and boy have things changed! The lagoon has broken free, the beaches have been stripped of a huge quantity of sand…

Remember when isolation had positive connotations? Back before COVID made it mandatory and we truncated it to three cold and sterile letters; ISO. Pre-2020 a period of isolation was something we sought out; a disconnect from…

The East Coast Low is still slowly making its way down the coast and is expected to cross to land sometime today. Western Sydney is already experiencing significant flooding and judging by the swell the beaches are going…

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…
