The westerlies have swept across the city and whatever remained of the NE wind swell at dawn has been blown out to sea. Believe it or not, it was surfable this morning. It was marginal for sure…
Read MoreToday is something of an anomaly in terms of the weather we've experienced lately and the weather that's to come. It's warm with northerly winds; a summery day in the midst of a run of cool winter…
Read MoreIt's the shortest (week) day of year. With the Winter Solstice tomorrow, we'll have 9 hours and 54 minutes of daylight in Sydney today and almost all of that will be pure sunshine. It's another classic…
Read MoreAnother frosty* morning on The Beaches this mornings as that high pressure system that's been parked over the state pushes cool air in from the west. The upside of this weather is how still and clear the mornings…
Read MoreThis week we find ourselves itself in the midst of our shortest days. Sunrise is low and late in the northern part of the sky casting long headland shadows and leaving a quiet stillness over the beach…
Read MoreReally pretty morning out on the beach front this morning. Soft pastels before the sun popped up and some rich warm light once the sun was free of the horizon. It's the kind of crisp, clear air…
Read MoreThe swell finally capitulated to the strong offshores that have been blowing for days. We had a good run of swell but yesterday it flatlined and this morning there's just a hint of a pulse. It's mostly flat…
Read MoreAnother bountiful morning out on the ocean. Clean conditions and a couple of metres of south swell groomed by cool offshores. All in all, a pretty tidy offering of waves for a Friday. I didn't shoot…
Read MoreThere's good ones about this morning. Yesterday's wintery change has brought with it a lively south swell with solid lines marching over the bombie and shaping up as decent peaks…
Read MoreGenuine winter's day out there in Sydney today! It's cold and wet with a brisk sou'wester chilling the bones. It was sub 10˚ when I left the house before dawn and it hasn't warmed up much since. A not-so-subtle…
Read MoreFlat light and a flat ocean out there this morning. There's not a heap of energy except for the odd set of 1-to-2 footers out of the south-east. It's most certainly bigger the further up the beaches you travel; even Queenscliff …
Read MoreWinter is upon us and we were treated to a distinctly wintery sunrise in tone and colour. A full sky of cool pinks and blues as the sun made its way through the clouds in a very northern part of the sky…
Read MoreSensational morning! The swell's dropped a bit of energy and angled around to the east a touch making for much more user-friendly conditions. It's 2ft with the odd 4 footer, offshore, clean and tidy. The banks are a little…
Read MoreWasn't much light around this morning however a decent jump in the swell made up for it. For the photography geeks out there, most of today's picture were captured at ISO3200. It's about as high as…
Read MoreFeels like things are back to normal this morning. The clear, crisp air and light sou'wester's are back along with that soft light that is the signature look of a clear autumn morning. I reckon…
Read MoreAfter a week of persistent strong onshore's and heavy rain, the weekend of waves was a just reward for enduring the weather. All day offshores, glassy conditions and a decent nor'east ground…
Read MoreThe sun's made a comeback this morning after a hiatus behind a curtain of rain the last couple of days. The sun's out but the wind is still fiercely onshore and there's the odd spot of rain showers…
Read MoreBefore the showers rolled in from the south, it was a morning just like any other this week. Mild, clear and sunny with light winds and minimal swell. The waves were small at first light but there's a sense…
