A lot of positives to consider this morning: The sun's out blazing with a brightness and intensity that's been absent for some time now, there's enough sunshine to put a smile on your dial for the rest of the week.

Tough morning out there. The paddle out looked like a lottery with masses of water moving and rips pulling onto shallow churning sandbanks. It was a game of luck and perseverance; and you needed a health dose…

This morning's post is a little bit like the Tully White Show. It wasn't by design or pre-arrangement, but when you spot one of the best women's longboarders out making a very ordinary swell look, not just surfable…

I was hanging out for the sunshine this morning. The Wednesday forecast was looking the goods back at the start of the week with sunshine and light winds. So far this morning's been pretty muted out there, although as

Morning! It's been a couple of days since the last time I posted and all sorts of stuff has gone down in that time. The waves cooked on Friday afternoon when the wind swung offshore…

Finally a little bit of friendly wind and extended moments of sunshine for the early. After persistent onshore's, this morning we've got a light breeze out of the west-nor-west ironing out the lumps and making for somewhat…

We had a moment of colour this morning. It was brief, maybe just a couple of minutes at the most but there was just enough light sneaking under the clouds to cast some pink into a sky full of heavy grey…

Hope you're feeling somewhat dry this morning, feels like everything is wet all the time these days. We had the odd rain drop this morning but most of the showers stayed off the coast. It's official, Sydney has had…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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.

Things are settling down on the weather front, the wind's dropped and the showers are easing. The change has made for a calmer ocean state with a more organised swell out of the nor'east. It's still pretty rough…

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 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
