Winter most definitely here

You know it's going to be a cold one whne it's early June and a mere jumper and t shirt just don't cut it any more. Puffer jackets are out already, wetsuits too. Except for the obsessive badgeniks, and those of us blessed with subcutaneous thermal protection. The upside is... Continue reading

It was a good morning

So said Amanda with whom I almost collided at the Point. I concur even though the viz remains a stubborn 6.5/10. Note the long shadows, pants and sleeves. Winter is coming. Can you believe that on Saturday week it will be June? As an aside the Winter Solstice and the... Continue reading

I've seen showers and I've seen rain not so sure about sunny days that I thought would never end

The wall was strangely unoccupied and ready for conquest Moody and unpredictable is this week's weather and conditions theme. Today's Southerly swell gifted us a fairly flat surface but visibility was ordinary at best. Lainey saw a couple of cuttlefish closer to Shelly but the best I could manage was... Continue reading

A Day To Remember

25 April is the day we officially remember the Australian and New Zealand humans who went to war. Starting with the original ANZACs sent to Gallipoli. We can keep the memories of the OGs (I don't think that is disrespectful) and the others alive by thinking of them at any... Continue reading

Opaque, blurry and green with a touch of yellowtail and.......

Those were the words used to describe the conditions today. The swell was kinder than yesterday's but was still some fun / challenge to be had heading out 7 O'Clock!

Cabbage Tree Bay does not disappoint

Today's temperature artwork has an interesting back story even if like me you are not a cricket tragic. Read Guy's insta post @temperature_guy_manly for more details, and give him a like and a follow if you haven't already. My best intentions of an early arrival to catch the sunrise did...

So atmospheric this morning, quite lovely. We will have another week and a half or thereabouts of darkish 7am starts before we put our clocks back at the end of daylight saving on April 7, and we'll have bright mornings again for a while Guy's illuminated art work Andrew brings... Continue reading

The not-so-big chill

Yesterday I already knew we were in for a temperature drop. Cats are a great barometer and my 15 year old ginger ninja was going nuts and was very keen to go out for an evening run-around. Sadly for him and for me he had to settle for tearing through... Continue reading

Wet, cool and clear

Light winds and a moderate southerly swell with a shortish period brings relative water clarity which makes swimmers, divers, snorkellers, photographers and beginner surfers happy. Lots to see under water but first here's some swimmers coming in as I was going out (late again but wha hey I'm semi retired)... Continue reading
