Today was a beautiful day for a swim despite some waves and surge in the bay. Temperature was 21 degrees. The beach went from being fairly empty to lots of 7 am swimmers then beach goers later on came to have a dip and some sun time. Ian found three of us chatting and swimming,...

It is always nice to swim in the rain. There is something gentle about it. And we got a lot of sandy beach with thanks to the tides. We now know that the sea can decide to lap the wall or recede to the point. Amazing.   And I love to see the juxtaposition of...

It started raining last night and I believe there was a storm around 5 this morning, but the very low (as in walk to the Point low) tide, slight Southerly wind and swell made for near perfect swimming conditions.So congrats if you were able to swim today. The sand situation is looking great with a...

Last night was one to remember. Our Bold & Beautiful Christmas party at Bucketty’s Brewering Co. had everything: laughter, connection, a whole lot of dancing, and a cracking playlist that took many of us right back to our glory days – The Killers, Violent Femmes, Fleetwood Mac…etc. It was so good to let our hair...

    I took this photo pretty early with these guys checking conditions. A bit of surf today but nothing too hard to get through.

Manly was buzzing with people this morning and it started super early. I arrived to swim with the 6.30 group, got in a bit late, and never really saw the early group or the 7am group in the water. Temperature is up to 21.6 degrees, there was enough bounce and surge to work me out...

I  love a king tide even though the increased volume of water often means there’s less sea life to see, so you can imagine my surprise when this mysterious creature appeared. I was mesmerised and when she dived away I started to follow her. but a nudge from this friendly puffer fish brought me to...

Hello it was a beautiful swim today, clear and calm, fishes of all sizes everywhere, just one of those magical days … Temperature a nippy 19.3. Tide high. Getting on and off the ramp a challenge plus it’s slippery but many helping hands made it easier. Eventually it was closed off for safety. Some pics...
