t's chunky out there this morning! After a long weekend of good waves this morning it's stepped up a notch and there's some solid overhead waves with plenty of grunt behind them. Surfline has…

Another morning of super fun waves out there. The east swell is up a touch on yesterday and with a light westerly the conditions are smooth as velvet. The chatter in the line up seems to suggest everywhere else on The Beaches…

Well that was kinda fun! With light showers hanging about I put the camera away and joined the fray for a couple of waves at sunrise. Even with most of the Northern Beaches surfing population out for the early…

It's nice to have some breathing room back in the mornings. Sunrise this morning was at 6:09am and with the dawn twilight there's plenty of time for morning activities and rituals.

This morning's post is a flashback through the month that's been. March has been warm, probably the warmest month in a couple of years, maybe longer; we had 8 days over 30 degrees and 16 days when…

Steely grey out on the ocean this morning. Heavy dark clouds have surrounded us but as yet the rain that's fallen is mostly light and sparse, no sign of the potential storms as yet. The good news is the ocean is about…

You don't have to set your alarm to be up for the early these day; sunrise is at 7:04am so the first light glow starts around 6:30, which would have been a sleep-in a couple of months back. After missing yesterday's brief

The only escape from the onshore wind this morning was within the relative calm of Cabbage Tree Bay. How lucky we are to have this beautiful and diverse aquatic reserve on our doorstep. Above the water…

The Indian Summer furnace rolls on. Yesterday was a scorcher and today's we're marching up to 30 degrees again. Good thing we've got the ocean and the world's most beautiful harbour on our doorstep; it's an easy escape…

If you're into tubes, today's your day. There was a plethora of hollow ones on offer as clean east swell lines found form on a reasonably shallow patch of sand. It's 2-4ft but there's a little extra grunt and hollowness to it…

Considering the forecast, it wasn't too bad a start to the week down on the sand. Showers are on their way for the next couple of days so a quick blast of sunshine at sunrise was a decent outcome for the early starters.

Another salubrious morning out on the beach front. Warm rays of autumn sunshine and a calm ocean of tropical quality is enough to set you up for your Friday. Throw in the odd 2 footer and some decent sand banks…

Twilight has always one of my favourite times of the day, but after consecutive hot days and warm, still nights, there's no better comfort than stepping out into the glow of cool dawn air. This morning I made my way to…
