DAILY POSTS

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…

Morning. Feels like excitement levels have eased back to the norm this week after the high-energy of the past 7 days experiencing anticipation, apprehension, FOMO and everything…

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…

February has a way of getting away from you. You think you've got a week left to play then all of a sudden it's over and with it the end of summer. While today might be the last offical day of summer…

It was warm out and about this morning. The temperature didn't sink below 24˚ last night and so we are well and truely on our way to today's top of 27. On paper summer is wrapping up…

Trying to predict what the ocean's going to do is like rolling the dice, you know what game you're playing but you never really know what you're going to get. We went searching for rights…

It helped to have a fair dose of dedication to rouse yourself out of bed in the dark this morning with the clouds set in and the southerly wrapping at the window. There wasn't a whole heap…

Is there a better way to start the week than in the surf? I'm sure all the runner-types around town these days might disagree but I'm standing firm on it. Nothing sets up the week…

After a couple of days of swell and wind, things have eased off again at Manly. It's back to the usual one-to-two footers, easy paddle out's and mellow morning vibes in the line up. Not a heap of energy…

Super fun little waves about this morning and a nice pastel sunrise to colour the scene. It's clean and glassy with the odd 3 foot peak hitting a feisty sandbank. There's a mix of swell…

Doesn't that sou-wester feel agreeable? This morning's cool, crisp and clear air is a world away from the thick, warm, humid air we've grown accustom the last few month. The cooler offshore…

There's been a bit of a bump in swell from the east overnight. It's mixed in with some smaller swell trains from the south and south-east making for lumpy, random peaks. No shortage of swell…

Maybe it's the big tides, maybe it's the rain runoff or perhaps and most likely, it's a combination of both.  Either way, there's been some subtle sand movement the last 24 hours or so…

The run of warm nights and steamy mornings continues, it's little wonder that droves of people are flocking to the beach for a rinse to start the day. There's no a whole lot happening surf wise…

It's steamy out there today! There's a curtain of humid air hanging over the beach and even before the sun rose the sweat was beading on my brow. Lucky we have the sweet, cool waters…

Sensation start to the week out on the sand. We've been hanging for a morning with light offshore's and finally it's been delivered. Not a whole lot of swell to compliment the conditions…

We're in for a hot one! It was a long, restless night with the temperature around 24 degrees all night. Now we're on our towards 40 degrees - hottest day of the year so far. Find a shady tree…

If you were up early this morning you might have mistaken it for autumn. The cool sou'wester was light and a very welcome relief from the 4 days of relentless southerly winds we've been recently…
