DAILY POSTS

After a couple of days of swell and wind, things have eased off again at Manly. It's back to the usual one-to-two footers, easy paddle out's and mellow morning vibes in the line up. Not a heap of energy…

Super fun little waves about this morning and a nice pastel sunrise to colour the scene. It's clean and glassy with the odd 3 foot peak hitting a feisty sandbank. There's a mix of swell…

Doesn't that sou-wester feel agreeable? This morning's cool, crisp and clear air is a world away from the thick, warm, humid air we've grown accustom the last few month. The cooler offshore…

There's been a bit of a bump in swell from the east overnight. It's mixed in with some smaller swell trains from the south and south-east making for lumpy, random peaks. No shortage of swell…

Maybe it's the big tides, maybe it's the rain runoff or perhaps and most likely, it's a combination of both.  Either way, there's been some subtle sand movement the last 24 hours or so…

The run of warm nights and steamy mornings continues, it's little wonder that droves of people are flocking to the beach for a rinse to start the day. There's no a whole lot happening surf wise…

It's steamy out there today! There's a curtain of humid air hanging over the beach and even before the sun rose the sweat was beading on my brow. Lucky we have the sweet, cool waters…

Sensation start to the week out on the sand. We've been hanging for a morning with light offshore's and finally it's been delivered. Not a whole lot of swell to compliment the conditions…

We're in for a hot one! It was a long, restless night with the temperature around 24 degrees all night. Now we're on our towards 40 degrees - hottest day of the year so far. Find a shady tree…

If you were up early this morning you might have mistaken it for autumn. The cool sou'wester was light and a very welcome relief from the 4 days of relentless southerly winds we've been recently…

I hadn't planned on shooting this morning; but a hint of colour at first light drew me out the door. I have to admit, I've been enjoying the extra sleep but there's something that still gets me…

Morning! Happy New Year and happy holidays to you! It's been a mixed bag of weather since we last spoke; perfect warm summer weather for the Christmas-New Year period followed…

Morning! It's a sensational day out there and more than likely this will be the last post of the year. I'm busy; you're busy and the opportunity to down tools and switch on the OOO for 2024 will be…

Crazy how half a metre of long period swell shows up on our beaches! The jump in swell coincided with a full tide with set waves surging way up past the high-tide mark and creating…

Stellar summer's day unfolding out there today. Plenty of sunshine; warm but not too hot, a slight breeze but not too windy. Summer days in Sydney rarely come much better…

Light east wind, weak wind swell and clouds ain't exactly a recipe for good surfing and/or photography. However, when you have talent like Tully White & Tom Bennett to shoot and the odd splash of light, nothing…

f you beat the wind out of bed this morning there was some clean and glassy conditions early before the southerly came up. If you missed it, no stress, you didn't miss much. It's small and weak…
