DAILY POSTS

The ocean's come back to life this morning with a fresh injection of energy from the south. Someone once told me three days after snow on the mountains Sydney gets swell and it proved spot on today. The little rip bowl…

Oh boy, it was frosty out on the beach front this morning! Winter's arrived right on cue with cold temps and a brisk sou'wester to chill the core. The nice thing about the south end of Manly on these cold winter days…

I woke up this morning expecting cold temps and crazy winds but i'd say it's pretty mild. Maybe it's going to go gonzo later, but for now the sun's warm and outside looks rather inviting. You might even shed the puffer…

Brrrr, wasn't that a chilly start to the day! Best place to escape that brisk offshore was underwater where the temps are still nudging just above 20. I dove in for a swim on first light and it felt like winding the clock back…

That big, warm, glowing, yellow ball is back in the sky and it was welcomed with open arms this morning. You can feel winter knocking and so any hint of warmth from our closest star is appreciated, not to mention…

Today's post is a mixed bag, a bit like the morning itself. I walked out the door thinking the clouds were gather above for an almighty thunderstorm. But the clouds parted, the sun snuck out and the rainbows were hoisted…

It's finals day at the Sydney Surf Pro and the waves have stepped up a notch. It's actually cooking! Even Kaipo Guerrero could say the waves were pumping whilst keeping a straight face. It's 3-4ft with the odd bigger one…

I've just made it back to town for the narrow end of the draw at the Sydney Surf Pro. It was actually kinda firing down on the contest back at North Steyne this morning; 2-3ft, clean, peaky, super fun, contestable waves

TThe sun's out and it's a sensational day for day one of the waiting period of the Sydney Surf Pro. The first stop of the World Longboard Tour got underway in small, fun little log waves out front of the North Steyne Surf Club.

The Pro show is back in town and the action got underway this morning with the local wildcard trials. The best of the local boardriders clubs going head-to-head for a single spot in the men's and women's main event…

Pretty grim morning out there. There was a little respite from the strong onshore winds early but the squalls are back with the rain and I'm glad to be watching it from behind a glass window. But, this kind of weather does little…

What a weekend of fine autumn weather and super fun little waves! Yesterday afternoon was one of those classic super glassy arvo sessions with the kind of light you only get with the transition of the seasons…

We're on the leading edge of three days of sunshine, light winds and cooler temps; it's going to be 21 degrees and sunny til Monday. Chilly mornings giving way to gloriously autumn sunshine - the change in the season…

It was supposed to be a raining one this morning; it didn't last long. The clouds have stuck around but most of the showers have moved out to sea and the sun's been sneaking through every now and then.

These autumn days are some of the best of the year! The warm's still warm, the air's cool and clear and the sun's got a friendly, welcoming warmth to it. It's an alluring Tuesday morning in Manly. One with plenty of leisure time…

Morning! Hope you had a good weekend. It's the first working Monday for a couple of weeks and probably a good time to settle back into a little routine. The kids are back at school and there's a full five days…

It's another morning of mixed swell out on the Tasman with the dominant being a short-period ENE wind swell. There's waves to be found but you'll need to sieve through the mix to find the better ones…

Morning... or maybe it's afternoon already. It's been a slow start to the day; an even slower start to the week (it's Tuesday already right). It's a bit of a dreary, wet one out there today with an overcast sky and the odd shower…
