Back At It

Morning! A very happy Monday to you. It's the last Monday of January and the week where school holidays end and chances are you'll be back on the tools sometime this week too. Wake up time isn't crazy at the moment…

Relief

Really lovely morning out there this morning. The wind has gently swung around to south westerly and it's cleared out all the humidity and thick hazy air. It felt a little bit like autumn with just a hint of coolness to it; sweet relief…

Hello Hello

Hello! How's 2024 going for you so far? We're 18 days in and I've finally dusted off the gear and wandered out for a sunrise gander. It's been a warm and incredibly humid summer so far, I can't remember experiencing…

Peace Out

Ahhhh, yes. The rain has cleared and it's a glorious day out there; just the way we like them. The sun's out, the wind is a light offshore and there's some neat little waves rolling in (think mid-lengths, twins and longboards). Probably…

Glassy

t's warm and humid out there but slipping beneath all that grey steamy air mass is a neat little pulse of 3ft nor'east swell. It's fun, peaky and without even a puff of cooling breeze, it's as glassy as it gets.

Cooler

How about that heat yesterday? Wow, what a day! Outside was like an oven and the ocean the only escape. Even the shade of Manly's famous Norfolk trees wasn't enough to beat the heat. The beach was packed full of people…

Tropics

Feels like we're living in the tropics these days. Warm humid days, afternoon and evening showers and steamy nights. At our place, we've got to choose between being hot and stuffy, or attacked by mosquitos…

All Happening

It's that time of the year when it all happens down on the beach in the mornings. This morning Rolland was on hand with Trish his go-anywhere, bio-powered, clean-up camper/coffee cart conducting…

Transition

Easy to roll out of bed and drop straight into the ocean on these kind of mornings. It was a balmy 22 degrees all night and the ocean is running about the same. With the air sitting at 70 percent humidity it's an easy transition…

High Lows

We're in for a warm week in Sydney and beyond. It's not so much the top temps that'll take a toll but the low's in the morning's afternoon's and evening's. According to the Bureau it's not going to drop below 20 degrees for the next…

Sunny Start

So nice to start the day with clear sky and sunshine once again. It';s been a bit of a mixed run of unstable weather but today and the next couple are looking warm, dry and sunny.

Summer Official

Welcome to the official start of summer. It's feel like the genesis of this summer began a month or so back when the BoM declared an El Nïno event. Since then we've had a couple of cyclones in the Pacific, some cool days…

Nothingness

It's been a weird and wonderful 24 hours of weather. Rain, thunderstorms, plenty of lightning, a late wind change (waves got really yesterday afternoon) and thick heavy fog at first light this morning. It's all but cleared now… x

Clouds Gather

We had 10 minutes glimpsing the sun this morning and chances are that'll be it for the day. Had to see the sun finding any gaps with the heavy rain clouds are gathering.  The local  forecast is a little grim with a chance of up to…

Moments of Light

This morning had some beautiful moments of shifting light as the sun ducked and weaved through a column of clouds rapidly sailing across the horizon. I quite like these kind of morning where waiting in the

Sub-50

If you're in the sub-50kg category and your shortboard dim's begin with a 4, you've got access to a whole other world of waves that are completely unsurfable to the rest of us. This morning, the sub-50 crew were frothy…

South End

Yesterday got good didn't it?!  After a very average and onshore morning, the wind eventually turned, the waves cleaned up and the afternoon rolled on with decent waves end to end. I'm sure text messages went flying…

Mixology

It's a real mixed bag going on out there today. Long period south swell and short period swell from a couple of days of localised nor'easters is wedging together under very still, humid conditions.
