There's only a handful of weeks in the year when the sun's far enough north in the sky to light up the southern corners of Manly at sunrise. For most of the year, the headlands of Manly Point and Fairy Bower block sunrise…

Tuesdays after a public holiday are usually pretty quiet. But with conditions small and uninspiring to most, it was dead out there at first light this morning. Just myself and Tully White floating around in the brine for the

We've had some big tides lately. Low lows and high highs. This morning the low tide was just 0.2m at 6:48am, close to the lowest of the year. I'm not sure if it's true, but it feels to me like an incoming tide adds a little energy…

Morning! It's been a couple of days since I've put a post up online. Monday's sunrise was a dark and moody one (i kinda like those ones) while yesterday we had a slow burn of pink just before the showers came….

This morning's sunrise was polar opposite to yesterday's light show. A gentle grey with soft pastels hues just beyond monochrome. I reckon these morning's have their own special appeal and the calming effect…

This morning's sunrise was wild! But before the vivid colour and light, the anticipation was almost as intense. With a gap in the clouds over the horizon and low clouds and rain moving in from the west it was a race…

The phantom swell continues to sneak in under the radar this morning. There's some genuine 4 foot sets in the mix and we're talking four wave sets not just rogue singles. Even the local dolphin pod couldn't believe…

It's another glorious Autumn day out there and again we've got a little more energy in the ocean than expected. A small east swell mixed with a longer period south swell and light offshore winds is serving up small waves…

For a flat day it didn't take much looking to find waves. Three headlands and a stroll down the garden path on a Monday morning ain't no chore, especially when the sun's shining. There's just enough swell and headland…

Everything about this morning was either mild or mellow. The temperatures were reasonably mild outside at first light and the sunrise was muted and mellow over a sleepy ocean. It's as though the atmosphere and ocean…

Remember The Nutbush? I had no idea that Australian's were the only ones that stepped into line and kicked their heels up when that iconic song came on at school dances, pubs and clubs around the country. I figured…

Sensational morning of light out on the beachfront this morning. At 10 degrees it's pretty fresh at dawn these days but if you can handle the chill, this morning was well worth getting outside. From 6am the sky was…

A big spike of south swell hit Sydney after dark yesterday with the buoys ramping up from under 2 metres to almost 6 in a matter of a couple of hours. With light offshore winds and solid swell all signs were pointing to…

The rare gem of Carpark Rights is turning on some throaty tubes and heavy water for the WSL's Sydney Surf Pro up at Narrabeen this morning. Since first light the south swell has been angling around the Long Reef…

It's cold and wintery with fresh sou'wester's and heavily laden rain clouds passing by overhead. Every now and then the sun found a gap and spread a little autumn sunlight over the sand but those moments were…

Monday morning's are always a little quieter. Maybe in the rush to get the week off to a good start the recreation rituals get squeezed out for more pressing matters. For those that ventured out early it was a mellow morning…

The south swell has lost a little of the grunt we saw early in the week but it's hanging in there, still consistently overhead on well spaced sets. For a swell that came up so quickly it's showing astounding…
