Go Surf!

There's a quote from Bob on the McTavish website that says "I only surf when it's at least 2 out of 10 and that's about 300 days a year". With only 28 days in February, chances are, everyday's going to be surfable…

Ruffle

A coolish sou'wester has relived us of the warm humid air that's been hanging about. I read somewhere that Sydney's been as muggy as Cairns up in Far North Queensland. No wonder the trip over the Queenscliff…

Sunny Daze

I don't mind these rainy days. In fact, a good dose of inside time after all the sunshine and warm weather is just what I need. It took a little while for summer to kick into gear but we've had a decent run of nice weather…

Special

Oh man, what a special morning it was out there today! Golden summer light, clean and glassy conditions and a neat little east swell peaking up and down the beach. It was a case of pick a bank; any bank - there were waves…

Flip

Yesterday evening's southerly change has flipped the weather on its head. Sunshine, clear skies and warmth are out; showers and a cool southerly are in. We had a pretty good run really...

3 Oh

Did you know that Sydney hasn't had a day over 30 degrees for 327 days.  That's hard to believe when we swelter through warm, humid mornings like today. Maybe I've acclimatised to cooler highs but it certainly feels pretty warm…

Later 2022

With all the Christmas parties, preparations and end of year wrap-up's it takes an extra bit of effort to set the alarm, wake up and walk out the door at 5am right now; this morning was worth it. It's the Summer Solstice…

Relief

From a cloudy dawn it's slowly transitioning into some kind of a nice day out there. Even with clouds and patchy sunshine the respite from those persistent southerlies is a relief. Right now we've got a pleasant little…

Respite

Can we get a little respite from these southerlies please? Come on... It's cold and that wind in the face can get a little agitating. Isn't is supposed to be summer anyways? I guess at least we've had swell, albeit mostly straight…

Wintery

Bit of a wintery scenario unfolding outside. We've got a deep low pressure system in the Tasman pushing up southerly winds and a big, raw south swell. Forget about warm temperatures and humidity, the cool air is going to be with us…

Leisurely

How nice are these long summer mornings. Even with the alarm set at 5:15 it's a challenge making it down in time to see the sun do its thing. With three or more hours of light before work kicks in there's time a plenty for leisure pursuits…

Cracker

We're on for a cracker of a day! Gone is the warm, humid unsettled air of yesterday. In its place, the air is cool and clear, sun's out, wind's light and variable and, if you can muster enough foam, there's a tiny little wave…

Unsettled

Steamy and unsettled out there this morning. There's some heavy clouds hanging over us and a warm humid air that's got an ominous vibe to it. Just as I write this my BOM app buzzed through a Severe Thunderstorm Warning…

Typical

Summer's here for real this morning. The sun's got some serious bite to it, the water's oh-so pleasant and we've got a summery little nor'east swell ruffled by a light overnight northerly. Add to that a chance thunderstorm…
