Plenty happening on the weather front today. The Bureau have finally declared a El Niño event and the effects are already in stark view. Sydney is under an Extreme Fire Danger with a total fire ban. It's hot and there's a strong…

If you want to avoid the spring heat wave you'll have to be up an in to it early today. It was a rather pleasant 17˚ at 5:30am, easy comfort in t-shirt and shirts. But with the sun up and a wind from the nor'west the…

That was a pretty crazy weekend for the beaches huh?! Manly was jammed packed, Freshie was wall-to-wall and I imagine everywhere with sand and easy access to water anywhere in Sydney would have had…

Spring is about to go full summer mode as we head into the weekend. 31˚ is on the cards tomorrow followed by a run of consecutive days nudging 30 or above. I suspect the beaches are going to be popular along…

If you haven't glanced forward to the weather forecast in Sydney, it makes for rather pleasant reading. Sunshine and temperatures nudging up towards 30 degrees for the next 7 days and beyond. Reference that…

Silky smooth morning out on the water today. There's something about that smokey haze that adds a special quality to the light. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to live in a world of poor air quality and health warnings…

There's a good little band of grommets that have made the southern corner of Freshwater their own over the last few seasons. Whether it's high-tide reforms on the inside or sandy little slabs out the back, the grommets

If surfing was on your agenda this morning you might find yourself with a case of a the low-tide blues. There's a hint of swell hanging in there from yesterday's delightful bump but low tide just ain't giving it a chance to shine. If you've…

Morning! Bit of a cloudy start to the week this morning but the Bureau's assures us we're in for a nice week of weather; warm with plenty of spring sunshine on the cards. We're going to be somewhat plagued by early low-tides…

It's the first day of spring but it felt cooler than the majority of the winter morning's out there today. That was one of the mildest winters I can remember with only a handful of cold mornings and hardly a south swell…

It's bright, warm and sunny out there this morning. No sign of rain as yet and my fingers are firmly crossed that any inclement weather will hold off until this evening. If the sky remains clear late afternoon today…

I've been pretty quiet with the post's this month (i'm calling it a hibernation/sabbatical) but these winter morning's have been just so pleasant I couldn't resist the opportunity to capture at least one more. The forecast for the rest…

Nice pop of colour for the early risers out and about this morning. The sunrise's are getting earlier as winter trails off so it's probably a good time to recalibrate your alarm clock. 6am on the dot (sorry no snooze) should get you…

Moments of sunshine are back today so I figured I'd break my winter sabbatical and venture out into the water for a swim. It was very close chaos in the zone this morning. Boards and bodies were flying in all directions as a very…

Mornin'! I just finished watching North Steyne local George Pittar surf through his heat over at the US Open of Surfing. He looked comfortable on the rip bowl lefts, it wasn't unlike an onshore summer afternoon at North Steyne…

It's been warm for winter these last few days. 24 degrees yesterday felt like a summer afternoon all day long; t-shirts, board shorts, picnic's in the sun etc, etc. Not bad for the middle of winter... or maybe it IS bad. An ominous sign…

It was a beautiful morning out on the beachfront. We had a colourful sunrise followed by some soft yellow light; the perfect colour palette for a mild winter's morning. It was 15 degrees at 6am and we're heading to a top of 23˚…

Is three days of waves considered a good run?  Given the winter we've had so far I reckon so.
