You don't have to set your alarm to be up for the early these day; sunrise is at 7:04am so the first light glow starts around 6:30, which would have been a sleep-in a couple of months back. After missing yesterday's brief

Starting to feel a bit like autumn out there. The wind from the sou-west had a crisp coolness to it at first light this morning and it's had a smoothing effect on the ocean. We've got neat, glassy conditions and the waves…

We've got a mix of swell on the Tasman this morning; 0.7m ENE @ 5sec and 0.9 SSE @ 9sec. It's enough to whip up some head-high peaks on the fully exposed reaches and it's probably a touch smaller…

The only escape from the onshore wind this morning was within the relative calm of Cabbage Tree Bay. How lucky we are to have this beautiful and diverse aquatic reserve on our doorstep. Above the water…

Saturday, Sunday and today couldn't be more contrasted. From clear blue skies, light winds and hot sunshine, to thick sea mist and summer heat and now overcast and windy; we've seen some scene changes.

The Indian Summer furnace rolls on. Yesterday was a scorcher and today's we're marching up to 30 degrees again. Good thing we've got the ocean and the world's most beautiful harbour on our doorstep; it's an easy escape…

We're in for another 30+ day in Sydney today, that'll be the 5th this month and probably not the last. The Bureau has announced an end to La Niña and we're on El Niño watch - what's that mean for weather and surf?

If you're into tubes, today's your day. There was a plethora of hollow ones on offer as clean east swell lines found form on a reasonably shallow patch of sand. It's 2-4ft but there's a little extra grunt and hollowness to it…

Considering the forecast, it wasn't too bad a start to the week down on the sand. Showers are on their way for the next couple of days so a quick blast of sunshine at sunrise was a decent outcome for the early starters.

Another salubrious morning out on the beach front. Warm rays of autumn sunshine and a calm ocean of tropical quality is enough to set you up for your Friday. Throw in the odd 2 footer and some decent sand banks…

Twilight has always one of my favourite times of the day, but after consecutive hot days and warm, still nights, there's no better comfort than stepping out into the glow of cool dawn air. This morning I made my way to…

Today is the day summer forgot. We had warm over the summer, but today's going to be proper hot! We're headed for 38 degrees in Sydney and only a touch cooler on the coastal fringes. It'll be the hottest day in…

Mixed fortunes outside this morning. If you were up for sunrise we had a good one; mellow purple tones lighting up the clouds while a warm yellow sun snuck up between the horizon and a band of heavy clouds. That was all before…

Nice day out there for the first day of the new season. It's warm and still and while the east swell may have eased there's a small bump out of the south. 

My expectations were knee-high this morning. First glance out the window looked clouded over and with only a little bit of mixed wind swells I figured surfing might have been for the desperate. I even contemplated…

Couple of nice surprises out on the water this morning. Firstly, we had a light westerly wind puffing off the sand. It wasn't quite strong enough to smooth out all the bumps but it did a job taking the edges off an ocean…

It's a cool blustery morning out there, there's the odd shower and the beach is teeming with competitors in town for the NSW Surf Life Saving Championships which begin today. The State Championships haven't had a smooth…
