The fun rolls on this morning along with the east swell. It's a touch smaller than yesterday and a little slower but there's still sets, some of them nudging head-high.  Again, it was a tad chubby underfoot and probably suited…

After a weekend of thumping east swell, it's eased today but is still present for the start of the working week. It's head-high, peaky and offshore with beautiful clean conditions. The higher tide was making it's quite full…

You know when everyone's talking about the weather that something significant's unfolding. In Sydney, the forecast is for 50-100mm today with up to 200mm over the weekend; potentially a month's worth of rain…

There's something about a flat ocean that calms the senses. Today the ocean is almost dead flat and there's hardly a breath of wind in the air, the only thing natural in motion was our steady roll towards the sun…

As is often the case, a change to worsening weather come with a blast of colour at sunrise and this morning lit up in pink. After a weekend of perfect weather the forecast has taken a turn south. It was always going to happen…

A little bit of sunshine, a lighty ruffled surface and a couple of runners served up before breakfast this morning.  It wasn't pumping... at lease where I swam out. I seriously had my L-Plates on with the water housing this morning. I had…

The 7:30 high tide made for some really tidy logger waves this morning. The swell's a nice direction and there's peaks running in to deep channels the full length of the beach from Queenie to South Steyne. Fun options available…

Left Bowls YonderThe change has happened and it feels like we've woken up in a different season this morning. It's cool out there today. The good news is the water is still wonderfully warm; if it wasn't for the wind…

There is a change brewing and  you could see it in the clouds this morning. Right now it's warm and still with only a very light nor'wester puffing away at below 5kts. At some stage during the day we're due for a southerly…

The clouds are hanging about and so is the ENE swell and glassy, still conditions. It's a lumpy, bumpy kind of a swell but when the right bump, combines with the right lump it's making for a decent little wave. It's random…

Monotone morning with light winds and glassy conditions, it wasn't a photogenic morning but the waves are a very surfable. It's shoulder-to-head-high, fun and peaky. The swell looks mostly ENE from what I could see…

Autumn is probably my favourite of all the seasons. While transition is constant throughout the year, it's a little more obvious in Autumn as the warmth and humidity of summer begins to give way to the cooler, crisper weather…

What can I say about this morning?  Hmmm, I think it's best summed up by what someone said to me as they came out of the water: "It feels like it could turn on any moment".  It's true, it does... but it didn't. All the ingredients…

The nor'east swell is up a notch from yesterday. It's wonky and wobbly with the odd glimpse of an appetising section here and there. I don't know whether it's the tide, the banks or residual texture…

How amazing is the water right now?! It's clear and warm and oh-so comfortable. In fact, last week the MHL Buoy off Long Reef recorded a record temperature for Sydney of 26.8˚. That doesn't necessarily translate…

Another stunner morning for the Friday dawn dwellers. This time a gold plated ocean greeted the day as the sun pushed past some heavy clouds out to sea. The right mix of clouds and light always adds a little colour…

Dusky pink sunrise, a good mix of SSE and NE swell's and light winds made of a sensational morning out there. Freshwater has been fertile pastures for youth development the last handful of years and this morning…

All things considered, it's actually pretty surfable out there this morning. 3 metres of south swell often means straight refracted swell on our stretch of sand making it one big closeout from end to end. While it's mostly closeouts…
