Lumpy & Bumpy

The clouds are hanging about and so is the ENE swell and glassy, still conditions. It's a lumpy, bumpy kind of a swell but when the right bump, combines with the right lump it's making for a decent little wave. It's random…

Mono

Monotone morning with light winds and glassy conditions, it wasn't a photogenic morning but the waves are a very surfable. It's shoulder-to-head-high, fun and peaky. The swell looks mostly ENE from what I could see…

Transitions

Autumn is probably my favourite of all the seasons. While transition is constant throughout the year, it's a little more obvious in Autumn as the warmth and humidity of summer begins to give way to the cooler, crisper weather…

What can I say...?

What can I say about this morning?  Hmmm, I think it's best summed up by what someone said to me as they came out of the water: "It feels like it could turn on any moment".  It's true, it does... but it didn't. All the ingredients…

Glimpse

The nor'east swell is up a notch from yesterday. It's wonky and wobbly with the odd glimpse of an appetising section here and there. I don't know whether it's the tide, the banks or residual texture…

Warmth

How amazing is the water right now?! It's clear and warm and oh-so comfortable. In fact, last week the MHL Buoy off Long Reef recorded a record temperature for Sydney of 26.8˚. That doesn't necessarily translate…

Gold Plated

Another stunner morning for the Friday dawn dwellers. This time a gold plated ocean greeted the day as the sun pushed past some heavy clouds out to sea. The right mix of clouds and light always adds a little colour…

Dusty Pink

Dusky pink sunrise, a good mix of SSE and NE swell's and light winds made of a sensational morning out there. Freshwater has been fertile pastures for youth development the last handful of years and this morning…

Keyhole

All things considered, it's actually pretty surfable out there this morning. 3 metres of south swell often means straight refracted swell on our stretch of sand making it one big closeout from end to end. While it's mostly closeouts…

Grim

Bit of a grim morning out there today. The rain was threatening to engulf the beach for most of the time I was on the sand but it seems to get caught up on North Head and we hardly received a drop of rain…

Nor'west

Finally a little offshore wind angled into Sydney yesterday evening in the wake of the storms that passed to the north and south of us. Right now the wind is a light nor'west at 5kts and it should maintain the offshore…

Classic

Classic summer's day on the cards for Sydney today. We've got northerly winds, warm sunshine and a bumpy east swell pushing into some shallow low-tide banks. It's not the most inviting surf set-up but hey…

Summer Feels

After a cloudy start to the day the sun's back shining bright as a mid summer's day. It's looking like a nice one out there right now. In fact, looks like we're in for a mini run of sunshine and warm weather; today's going…

Friday Funday

Bit of a funny morning out there for me this morning. I spent a fair bit of it in front of a camera rather than the safe space behind the camera that I'm accustomed to. There's fun waves around today; it's way better than…

Demo

There's a steady onshore wind blowing in from the south-east this morning. Condition's weren't pretty but plenty of colour was added to the morning thanks to a demo day conducted by Jack Lynch & Alex Knost…

So'Cool

It's a cool morning in Sydney and I don't hear anyone complaining about it. The southerly has delivered a much need refresh to the airmass that's been hovering over the city most of the year so far. Temp's are down…

Between

After the rain and before the southerly there were some moments of quality waves about this morning. I spent the first part of the morning drenching in the rain. The rain was like a full-body thirst quench after enduring days…

Shining

It's turned into a cracker of a morning out there for the first Friday of Feb. From cloudy beginnings, the sun popped out at 6:30 and it's been shining brightly ever since.
