DAILY POSTS

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…

By 8am this morning Manly Beach was enveloped in a dense blanket of fog making it impossible to see the line up from the beach let alone the headlands at either end. Beneath the fog… . 

I'm starting to wonder if we'll ever see offshore conditions again. I've been holding on to a thread of hope that I'll wake up one morning to a light offshore and an ocean groomed smooth and silky. It's been a while…

It's the second day of summer and it sure feels like it out there. The sun is beaming at full strength and we've got some punchie, short-period wind swell from the nor'east. It's about as typical a Sydney summer's day…

Another warm, steamy morning. It's much the same as yesterday and the day before although there's a little more west in the wind today; not that it's puffing strong enough to blow away the humid salty air that's hanging over the beach.

Everyone's flocking to the water this morning to cool the body and rinse off the steamy night and warm start to the day. It didn't drop below 20 degrees all evening…

We're in for a warm one, in fact it's going to be a warm couple of days in Sydney and surrounds. Thirty plus today, tomorrow and the next day; even hotter if you're anywhere out of reach of the cooling sea-breeze.

Nice little pop of colour as the sun pushed through some clouds scattered about the horizon this morning. From cloudy beginnings, there's no shortage of sunshine out there at the moment; beats yesterday's drizzly start to the day! There is however a real shortage…

It's a rare occasion indeed when you overlook Freshwater and don't see a single person on the beach. This morning it was just footprints, the tidal soakings of sand, and a couple of tiny figures way off at the other end…

Yesterday afternoon's late change in weather is still lingering and the effects are paying dividends on the surf front. The combination of howling northerlies most of Sunday and light offshore winds today means we've got…
