DAILY POSTS

That large pulse of south swell is almost a memory today. It's dropped off a heap, although there's some scant remnants on the more exposed stretches of sand. Even by midday yesterday the swell was only half the size…

There's a whole lot of swell out there this morning but finding a decent wave is a different matter altogether. The swell was maxing out around dawn at 4 metres with outlying swells over 7metres. That's solid! From a vantage high…

The early low tides are making for challenging surfing conditions this week. This morning's low coincided pretty much right on sunrise and the shallow banks are straight and sharp, especially with the predominant…

I think this morning's post deserves a disclaimer. What you see is a select edit of the best moments of a 45+ minute chunk of time between 6:45 and 7:30. Even the angles I choose to shoot today probably don't tell…

Morning! What a day we've got out there! In fact, the weather has been pretty nice the last little while... a touch crisp early but by mid-morning the autumn sunshine and super-light winds have been a real delight. The Tasman has.…

Cool, crisp and kind of pumping out there this morning. Feels like the swell's angled a touch around to the east and it's reinvigorated our banks while squeezing a little more life out of a fading swell. Head-high-plus…

This morning was a little like chasing rainbows and unicorns. The elusive perfect little left or right was always at arms length and off in the distance. A fleeting sight of something surfable only to straighten up…

Another brisk morning out on the beach with cool sou-westerlies chilling the extremities. The good news is there's waves and it's reasonably surfable for a south swell; a mix of peaks and straight out the full length…

Morning! It's been a little while since the last post. After some average weather early in May and a trip to the Maldives it's wonderful to be back on task and rolling outside into some sunshine at home. While there might…

Anyone still at the office? With a public holiday on a Thursday and the tendency to work from home, or the campsite, or the bench at the beach, I get the feeling that desks in the city at are at low-tide capacity today.

If you were up early enough you couldn't have missed this morning's epic sunrise. It was full frontal and vivid; the kind of sunrise that stops you in your tracks and has you shifting the saturation slider to the left…

Feels quiet around the beaches at the moment. Is everyone out of town? It's too early for Europe and too late for Japan... has everyone's gone to Bali or y'all camping up the coast? Hang on, maybe everyone's had their fill…

First things first, a huge congratulations to North Steyne's George Pittar who made his presence known on the surfing's world stage over the weekend. George donned the wildcard jersey and had a destructive run…

A mixed bag of fortune out there this morning, there was a little bit of everything. Lovely sunrise glow, clean conditions, tropicalesque downpour and, as per the usual, a decent array of fun little waves.

A change has swept through Sydney this morning from the south. The clouds that were hanging to the south during sunrise have moved overhead and showers are on the forecast. I do enjoy a sunrise when it collides with one…

We've got a renewed long-period south swell sneaking up the coast this morning. It's only small and there's plenty of time between sets but, when they roll in, they're well defined and surfable. Fun for all-comers, as long as…

I went for a swim this morning. The loose plan was to sit in the rip off the left and shoot the local's getting barrelled. That bank seemed like the pick of the bunch yesterday and I figured it'd be a little more…

Wowzers! I haven't seen the Manly stretch looking so good in a south swell for a long time. Maybe it's the recent shift in sand from the lagoon; maybe it's the filtered south-east swell direction wrapping around North…
