Today is the smallest day to surf for the week. There is a residual East swell in town and Maroubra was bleeding it dry. I saw sets around chest high at the Bra…looked fun but inconsistent. Of course I have to say this…the weather has been incredible…so warm for this time of year and the […]

The weather is perfect today and there is a little waist to chest high wave on Sydney’s beaches. That’s about all the information you require today. Try and go for a swim or surf… : : u g e

Every morning is so different down the beach. That’s what keeps me getting up before dawn to document it all. I never get bored of it, even after 14 years of starting my day this way. This morning was kinda special where 2 freaky, rare, once is a long time things went down… a) Sydney […]

With the forecast looking healthy for some ENE swell today and a rumour of some decent banks down at the Bra I rolled down there to take a look. It was OOOkkkk(ish)…waist to chest high, clean and out of the SW wind…but not really worth chasing. 3 out of 10. This grey old day will […]

Today’s the last day of the road trip as we approach the Queensland border. A brief interlude with Byron Bay’s Tallow Beach (which was super fun and out of the wind) and the car is packed up and back on the road to Snapper’s Quiky Pro. It’s been a good week with decent waves wherever […]

We’ve escaped the cool waters of the Mid-North Coast and landed 3 hours north, at Banana Coast – or better known as Coffs Harbour. Never been here before and plenty of surf options with bays facing all directions. The swell is still NE and so is the wind so Northern corners are the go. The […]

The best thing about a drive up the coast is that you basically keep driving until you find waves. There are just so many options along the East Coast. Mid-week is also a bonus (and out of Skool Hols) as most beaches are relatively deserted. Yep, the best time of year as its still summer. […]

Howdy…we’re on the road. The Road to the Pro that is…all 844 kilometres of coastal highways from Sydney to Snapper Rocks. I’ve never done this drive in one continuous trip. I’m excited about finding a few waves along the way that fall into the cracks and particularly uncrowded ones (Bondi does get a lil’ hectic). […]

East Tweak

Hi there. How are you? There is a lot of good things to talk about today. After a cloudy start the sunshine is now dominating as we head to a perfect beach day of 30 degrees. How good is it outside now? The swell has swung more east so places like Maroubra are starting to […]

Flip

The swell direction has flipped and so has the weather. Sunny with shoulder to head high waves coming in from the East. Gonna hit 26 banging degrees today – so good. NE winds will howl later 25 knots…good for protected North Bondi (for a swim). Christmas shoppers are in full swing…come to our gallery 10-6 […]

Wedgey

Been a lot of NE swell this week. No good around Bondi. Rolled down to Maroubra for a shoot in the drink…that place loves this direction of swell. There’s a terrific bank down there, super shallow close in then dramatically dropping off out to sea. Perfect bottom contour to put on some hollow wedges. Today […]

Sunrise Prize

Really promising start to the week. Clear skies, good sunrise and peaky 2 footers at the Bra (NE swell). Just looked at the weather forecast – 27 and perfectly sunny today. Nice. Hope the office cubicle has a window. It is going to rain Thursday and Friday this week – so drop tools and hit […]

Early Blow

It was windy early today. The cooling southerly arrived overnight. It’s around 20 knots which means you’ll need to seek protected corners. I went to the South Bra corner, which was ok. Blake was out there tearing it to shreds, but not many good ones came through. Limited options today, Manly could be good with […]
