L8

I was a touch late to the party with the camera today. Made the call to join the throng of surfers for the early and left shooting til that magical time after 8am when everyone used to disappear to jobs in the city or schools…

Go Figure

It would pay to have some insights into crowd behaviour/psychology to be a surfer these days. This morning I was blown away by how many people were in the line up already by 6am; a morning of overcast conditions, light…

Spring Warmth

These are my favourite kind of Spring morning. When there's that residual warmth in the air and water, the air is clear with a light offshore and there's just enough cloud scattered about to soften the light and add a little

Float

Morning and a very happy Friday to you. It's another morning of high frequency, short period swell out on the Tasman. It's was trying to be peaky but the reality was most waves hit the banks as a closeout and floaters

High Frequency

Weird little wind swell out on the water today. The waves were so tightly packed together I found myself either ducking under one or a lump of water ahead of me blocking the view of the wave behind. It was only 1-2ft…

That Time

Perfect spring morning out on the sand, sun's out and the wind is calm. It's that time of the year when temperature and timing make morning activities oh-so easy and inviting. It's light enough to leave the house…

Home Shine

Morning! Nice to be back home and even better to time it with the sunshine. We've been up the coast camping offgrid, offline and mostly with the tools tucked away out of sight. It's a nice quiet time to be out of town…

Spring Rhythm

Feels like we've found ourselves a nice Spring rhythm in Sydney. Warm days, sunshine, long afternoons and light winds make Spring a very comfortable time of the year.

Offshore

After a weekend waiting for the wind to go offshore, it's nice to have woken up to clean and tide conditions. While the offshore never arrived yesterday, this morning it was as clean and silky smooth as it gets. The swell's drop by half…

Abundance

Sensational spring morning out on the ocean. Whales, sunshine and east swell were in abundance. The swell has backed off since yesterday afternoon's kick however there's still plenty of energy to tap into.

Thursdays

Feels like Thursdays must be the lucky day at the moment. We've got waves this morning and if you cast your memory back a couple of weeks, the last little pulse of east swell light up The Beaches on a Thursday also.

Monday-ness

Typical Monday vibe out on the sand this morning. A quiet, subdued call back to the productivity of the working week under a sky of washed out colours and ocean that was moving but only just. It feel like even nature…

Polish

How good is a fresh change! Yesterday's late change has delivered a small bump in swell and the sou'westerly wind angle has given the sea surface the polish we've been waiting for. After a week of bumpy conditions, this morning…

32˚

Morning! We're in for a warm spring day... 32˚ will be the top in Sydney before a late change and possible thunderstorms this afternoon. But for now it sunshine, light offshore winds and blue sky.

A Few Moments

Cloudy start to the morning with just a few moments of colour and sunshine. With school holiday's over, cooler weather and shorter mornings thanks to daylight savings it was relatively quiet. Everyone's in…

Switch

After a rather pleasant, user-friendly day of nor'east swell yesterday, we've had a full switch in direction to south today. Arriving under the cover of darkness, it's a polar opposite swell with a whole different…

Anticipation

It was probably one of the most anticipated mornings of waves in a while. The forecasters were calling a solid nor'est swellwith a stiff overnight offshore change that all the hallmarks of a classic day of waves on The Beaches.
