The Early

Faded

Lovely morning out on the water. The swell has all but faded with just the odd 3 footer catching the pack off guard. The banks seems to have taken a battering with deepwater sandbanks…

Flex

It's another day of solid swell on the Sydney beaches. The wind has swung straight offshore out of the west and the swell is four and a half metres out of the south-east. The swell has…

Options

It's big out to sea today! The Port Authority Bouy is reading significant wave heights at over five and a half metres with outliers as high as ten. Today it's a smorgasbord of options for surfers…

Ephemeral

These kind of mornings where the dark blends with the soft light of dawn make for the best pictures. It's not the images from the postcards but there's a subtle, soft beauty to the ephemeral…

Late Sun

These 7am sunrises make for dark mornings. Add a little cloud to the horizon and you'll already be on your way home before the sun peeks out for the day. While there wasn't much light on the sand…

Dark

Bit of a dark ol' morning out there. The sun struggled to break through a heavy set of clouds adding a little colour high up but only allowing a small dusting of light to filter beneath.

Light Show

We're on a stellar run of sunrises right now. Three good ones in a row with this morning's sunrise perhaps the jewel in the crown. The light and colour lingered across a couple of transitions…

High Hopes

Took a swim in the dark this morning with high hopes of being in the spot for another vivid sunrise (I missed yesterday's 🤦). We had a spark of colour and a few wispy clouds that added a degree of light and texture…

Remnants

What a difference a day makes. Yesterday's wild southerly has run its course and we've woken up to the most silky, glassy ocean. While the wind my have gone, the southerly has left us…

Contrasts

If you had left your windows open like I did last night you would have felt and heard that southerly come through like a steam train at around 1pm last night. The windows, doors and blinds came to life…

Sweet Spot?

Freshie on a Friday can get interesting to say the least. With Queensie to North Steyne out of action, there was a full flotilla of longboards and min-lengths, swimmers and swim clubs as well as the usual Freshwater folk…

Been spending a bit of time waiting for the sun lately. Official sunrise time today was 6:52 in Sydney which is well after the alarms have sounded. In just over a week sunrise will be 7am making…

Alfred's Influence

The swell generated by TC Alfred's and its associated flows finally reached our shores yesterday afternoon as a solid east swell started to filter down the coast. We're on the outer edges of Alfred's influence…
