The swell has decreased, still limited visibility and a few large moon shaped jellies out there.  A beautiful morning and as always a great way to the day. Have you been to Forster, NSW? I follow ‘Did you swim today’ on facebook and recently saw a few videos from the Forster turtles and the many...

Wednesday 15th February – the day after the carnage & the power of mother nature & Posiedon is still on show.   At 6am when I arrived for “Dolphins” clubbies board training (not really knowing whether we would be able to actually go in the water given the conditions of the last 2 days!) it...

A relaxed start to the day for those doing yoga. For those swimming, or deciding whether to swim, it was not so relaxed. Tim, Brian, Inge and Ian assessing the conditions. Andre, in the middle, lightened the mood by providing Haigh’s chocolate hearts to celebrate Valentine’s Day, with Chrissy, Nicci, Louise and Sam F. Shelly reporting...

Happy Monday all!! Today, the surf was massive!! The A Team were the only crazy people who jumped in at 7am and we had a pretty solid turn out from the crew (Tim, Scotty, Dave, James, Magic Mike, Stirls, Genevieve, Lou and I). We got smashed heading out in the massive surf, and got even...

Bit of a current, bit of waves, bit murky. Still a lovely swim. Although it was a bit of a downer to exit the swim and find the beach had been closed for pollution. That did not however deter the orange jelly fish at all. Avoiding getting waves on you for as long as you...

    One of the joys of the FFF (Freshwater Fast Fives) is the rant. The ranters topics range from solar eclipses, to lessons in life from our fearless Surf Life savers, to distant boomer memories of feel good songs, and my favourite the weekly horse racing tipster’s take on the weekend action.   How...

I wonder whether the overnight rain also put people off as it was quiet outside Manly surf club this morning. Maybe it was also the 39 “Bench swimmers” who have mostly all left for a Kangaroo Island adventure (we’re very jealous!), hence an empty bench.   It was a lovely swim, although a bit bumpier...

Splendid day for the beach today. Waves rolling in gently like today makes me understand what people mean when they say they enjoy the waves. The swim was lovely with a good chunk of the algae gone. I very much enjoy watching skilful body surfing and where better can you be assured of seeing good...
