Fair Weather

Not exactly sunny this morning but hey, at least it's not raining. I've been a fair-weather photographer in recent times and with the run of rain we've had this August, it's fair to say…

Rare Treat

Nice morning of light and fun little waves about too. I was a bit slow out the door with the threat of showers hanging over our heads again. But that threat seemed to dissipate at dawn...

Linger

Showers are lingering about the coast this morning making for a pretty drab start to your Monday.  The silver lining to these passing showers is that every now and then the clouds shift…

Longevity

The east swell is hanging in and there's even some fresh south swell adding a little energy into the mix. The longevity of this swell is a testament to the vast area of ocean that this east coast low affected

Empty's

The swell has settled somewhat and while there's more order to the energy it's still holding in at an imposing size. It's hard yakka paddling out from the beach and plenty of hard-breaking closeouts...

Hefty

Heavy fog and heavy water out there today. The swell has found a little more order this morning but it's lost very little size, it's still big, too big for just about everywhere! Visibility was next to zero…

R A W

A lot can change in a week and this morning's post couldn't be more contrasted with the post I made last Tuesday. From dead flat and colourful, today's post is grey with a raw 4m east swell…

Colour Tide

A perfectly still ocean and an array of clouds catching the dawn light painting the scene pink this morning. There was close to zero chance of getting a wave. No good for surfers but…

Micro's

It's was a session for the grommets out there this morning. Yesterday's bump in east swell has faded into insignificance and an early high-tide has swallowed what remains of the energy. Clean offshore conditions…

Influence

Weird how weather patterns cycle. It was around this time last month, at the same waning crescent phase of the moon, that we had an anomaly of a day.  A warmish day, with an unseasonal nor'easter. Today it's

Served Neat

Neat little pulse of east swell out there this morning. I wasn't expecting it. But then I haven't been paying much attention to the forecast lately. It's been a run of flat to small days with a reasonable…

Still

Perfectly still morning out on Cabbage Tree Bay this morning. I could hear the swimmers doing their daily crossing talking up the pristine conditions and visibility through their snorkels. While the ocean was still…

Vivid To Pastel

Nice morning out there today. A full sky of orange and pink in every tone from vivid in the north to soft pastels down south. There's nothing doing surf-wise unless you're in the micro grommet…

Wane

We've come out the other side of the wind and rain and we're back on track for some more settled Sydney winter weather. Today's a stunner and apart from the odd shower on Sunday…

Silver Linings

It's been wild across the NSW coast the last couple of days. Big swell and howling offshores mean that there's been the odd window of surfable waves. Deadman's had a few yesterday…

Calm... for now

This morning all is calm and sunny; another perfect day in a long run of perfect days. But the sunshine out the window right now could be the last we see for a few days at least. The BOM is warning…

Warmer In

Brisk and wintery conditions this morning. It was 8 degrees when I left the house and scampered down the street and across the cold sand. Luckily it's significantly warmer in…
