Morning! These sensational winter days are on repeat; we're heading for 21˚ today, 22˚ tomorrow and a top of 23˚ on Saturday. Add to that light winds and sunshine and winter ain't too hard to navigate in Sydney.

Was an early start for a cool winter morning today; mind you 6:30 isn't all that early in reality. With an 8:36am low tide, it was a case of the earlier the better and I reckon we scored a couple of runners before the bank…

It's been a slow winter for waves on the Sydney beaches. We're approaching mid July and the prospect of another week of small-to-flat conditions. We haven't seen a deep southern low swing into our swell window…

The sunshine is back with us this morning, and sooner than expected. We've had so much fine, calm weather lately that yesterday's light rain and grey sky felt a little foreign.

While the ocean was reasonably calm the sky was on fire this morning. If you were on the beachfront this morning you would have caught that beautiful, drawn-out winter sunrise with light transitioning from vivid…

Mondays; you either love them or hate them. I'm squarely on the love side of the fence. It's no secret that Monday's are the quietest mornings of the week, especially in winter when the shorter days and temperatures…

It's the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year in the summer hemisphere. We've reached our furtherest point in the tilt away from the sun and from tomorrow onward the length of daylight in our part of the world…

We're back to normal programming this morning. We've got waves on the Manly to Queenscliff stretch and a cool and crisp offshore. It's 2 foot and south; a bit straight and not ideal for the masses that descended on beach…

There's a bump on the ocean this morning! It's only small but after 7 days of flatlining even the tiniest pulse of energy on the Tasman is something to get excited about. It's waist-high now and hopefully building…

The Tasman continues to slumber this morning. There's just a hum of swell coming in from the south; it's knee-high on the sets which is better than flat. The outlook for swell is pretty quiet as far as the eye…

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…
