Review

Wind's up straight out of the east, it's onshore and there's the odd shower or two moving across the radar. It's not such a pretty morning out on the beach front this morning. I walked the beachfront and left the camera…

Truncated

How good are long weekends; even better when there's waves. We had a decent couple of days here and I bet those that ventured further afield would have scored something solid, clean and fun. The bump in swell…

S C S

Bit of a wild and wooly morning out there. The southerly has whipped up a chunky, wind-blown swell. It's either hide out in the southern corners where it's smaller and semi-protected or take your chances finding…

Sun Day

Sometimes all the elements align for the perfect day; sunshine, light wind, a glassy little east swell. And sometimes, if we're lucky, they fall on a Sunday when time moves the slowest and to-do lists are mostly…

Winston

The pre-dawn lightning and thunder has blown out to sea and the sun is shining bright at the moment. It's a full u-turn from how the day started. I figured the rain had set in for the day and was about to dig through…

Bon Voyage

Funny little morning out on the water. Conditions are silky smooth and glassy but there's a weird bump and backwash to it. Maybe it's yesterday afternoon's onshore ruffle still bouncing around on the surface…

Early Birds

The weekend came good in the end and yesterday was about as good a day as you could ask for. Sunshine, a fun little ENE swell, offshore winds and cool vibes in town thanks to the Manly Jazz Festival lineup.

Slim Pickings

We're in for a couple of days of strong northerlies, not great for surfing 'round these parts. There's showers and rain in the forecast so it's not going to be amazing beach weather all round. The good news is…

Twenty Days

Twenty days into SurfAid's Make A Wave and this morning was looking like one of the more challenging days to hit that obligation and go surf. The forecast had numbers below 1ft and a stiff offshore breeze so a dead f

Rattle

The wind was rattling in form the nor'east this morning. It was looking a far cry from the classy offshore conditions we've been enjoying so far this week. We had a good run. But, like all good things, they must…

Emerge

ook a little while but the sun eventually emerged and it's turned into a cracker of a day out there. We've got a bit of leftover swell, heaps of sunshine and just a puff of wind out of the east. A pleasant mix…

Better?

Yesterday was good and I reckon today's maybe just a tad better. Although, truth is, it probably depends on whether you had a little bit of luck on your side. Either way, we've got good waves…

Another mellow morning out on the beach. The sky is a blanket of still grey clouds and the ocean it's blue grey mirror. We've got a peaky little NE swell making for fun lefts and rights the full length of the beach.
