The predictions were right. A super lull this morning in swell saw some itty bitty waves on a gorgoues winters morning. No wind to speak of, so temps were nice. It was a morning for the ultra frother, or the ultra patient. I also got a cheeky snap of myself, which is…

After a weekend plus in Brisbane and a month of crazy weather, it was a pleasent reset to be back at the beach this morning.  I felt the weekend was a rip off (not being at the beach) and the Broncos sure added to that feeling. Dropping a couple of hundred to watch…

Awwwwww man. We finally got a sun-soaked morning on the Coffs Coast.  And as I type, the clouds are back, but… whatever.. This morning was rad. A fun a-frame popping up and pushing some nice sized nuggets through. We had the CHBC training crew too this morning,…

It couldn’t be more of a Monday. And I love Mondays. The smaller crowd. The start of something new. The surfers are frothers. It’s actually the best day to surf if you hate crowds, and we experienced that on our travels across the country. It was a roll of the dice. I…

This swell is pumping. We checked a couple of beaches after shooting the novalty and it was BIG.  It was a fun Sunday shoot though. The boys on the rocks and getting to shoot a couple of unique angles. Thankfully the sun came to play for about 20 mins too!  If you’re…

This mornig involved checking both locals. The swell has dropped slightly, but has cleaned up a lot.  What I shot was a lot of straight lines. A very easterly swell direction bringing fast, straight lines.  But the kids managed well. Wave selection is such an…

May continues to deliver some truly inconsistent weather, but this morning the sun was back and it was a beautiful bright morning. With a 2-3ft swell, after so much rain, conditions were a little chaotic in the water. Couple that with a State surfing competition in…

I wasn’t sure how long id be shooting for this morning. Clouds loomed, but the rains held off. The swell was its own. Unpredictable, shifting. There was gold if you were patient AND lucky enough to be in the right spot. Not sure how long we have for this weather…

I wasn’t sure about hitting the beach this morning, but I needed to be in town to buy Cove a school jacket. So we loaded the car and headed to the local. We got about 20 mins of shooting in before we relocated to Cafe Aqua for some hot chocolates and a breakfast donut…

I took a gamble this morning after lookiung to the sky. A very overcast mood, but figured it might be worth a look. One of the two local spots i checked was kinda working, as you see below. It was fast, and breaks were happening up and down the beach. It was a roll of…

It doesnt get much better than this. After such a rainy and weather affected start to May, and April being so incredible, I felt like it was only a matter of time until the stars aligned.  And aligned they did.  We spent the weekend at Crescent Head. I think I shot…

April will go down as one of the best months of capturing surf on the Çoffs Coast that I’ve ever had.  I shot 29 of the 30 days (no idea what happened on the 2nd of April) and we had such a wide range of conditions. 2 large swell pulses consisting of overhead clean…

You cant win them all. Yesterday it was clouds. This morning, swirling winds that just turned the local spots into mush. We had a few frothers take one for the team, but to not much joy. At least the sun is out AND there is some good looking swell on the horizon.  If…

This morning was far from stellar. The cloud just hung and hung and so the post production of image editing did a lot of heavy lifting for this mornings photos. It was a weird morning too, wave/surf wise. Not sure how to describe it. But I did say it was pretty bad to…

Another stellar morning on the Coffs Coast. It was just too good to not head down to the beach. The swell has subsided. It is very much back to normal in terms of feel and amount of people in the water.  If you’re featured in a photo and want the high res, let me know…

Another brilliant public holiday with a beach filled with frothers and enough waves to go around.  If you’re featured in a photo and want the high res, let me know via email or Instagram / Facebook. I’m more than happy to share photos of you for you to keep, print,…

We had patches of sun, patches of drizzle, downpours, heat… it all. The weather is all over the shop, but it didnt stop me getting some snaps over the weekend. You might see me wearing Joggers down the beach. Don’t judge. I’m desperately trying to sort out some heel…

I ummed and ahhhhed about whether to head down this morning. It was very gloomy, but figured it has been so good lately that I’ve got to try. And try we did, for about 15 mins until the rain bucketed down.  But I did fuel up the car and it was 10cents cheaper than…

This swell continues to carry on, which is amazing. Last year we missed ALOT of the Autumn / Winter swell due to rain and storms. It feels we are settling back into a normal kind of Winter ahead. I had a short window, that was rudely interupted by a passing cloud that…

Kiko and I only had a short window this morning. Ella wanted to do a workout at J.I.M  this morning. That wasn’t the only battle this morning. We got to the beach with rainbows over head. Rainbows are nice, but if you see them in the morning, it generally means rain…

Back to reality. It was time to go searching for waves. With a predicted 2-3ft and strong south/south-westerly winds somewhere had to be working. I checked the usual spot to work in these conditions and bam, we were on. The boys wanted to go to Diggers to play, and…

Over the weekend we headed down to Scotts head for a weekend of surf, sun and good times with some amazing people.  The southerly swell direction took the fun out of the point nearly the whole weekend, but we found a wave down beach that worked in the mornings. The…

This morning had everything.  1-2ft beauties rolling through across 2 spots. No wind. All sun. Crystal clear water. And every 10 mins or so the ocean would send a humbling clean up just for giggles.  We had cute dogs, groms, grannies, mums, dads, frothers and the…

The only thing that wasn’t perfect about this morning was that I had to leave the beach to go to work.  The wind went more westerly than northerly this morning, the smoke from fire places being lit for the first time filled the air. Barely a breezed touched the waves…

This morning Cove, Kiko and I did a double beach shoot. It was so good at the first I was hoping the second beach would be as good. It wasn’t BUT it still had vibes. Just a pinch smaller and fatter.  That weekend swell has dropped off and today was producing some…

This morning was big. Kiko and I hit the beaches searching, and should have gone to the last spot earlier. But I think a combo of things was holding surfers back this morning.  1. It was big. 2. It was cold. We woke up to 8 degees or something. 3. It was a Monday….

This strong easterly swell, combined with strong northerly winds made options limited this morning. We checked all the stops in town. Some big, some fat, all straight, or washed out.  So we headed north. I got a little solo shoot session before walking back into town…

This northerly keeps hanging around so we find ourselves at a little protected corner this morning. A slow morning with some fun waves rolling through. The vibe I get though is people are waiting for this next swell to come through. Monday and Tuesday look fun on the…

I traded the lens for some tongs for part of the morning, as we celebrated on of our friends (and newly appointed surfer mum) birthday!  BBQ on the beach might be something we do more regularly. It’s a lot of fun. Ok, to the waves… better than yesterday, but that…

The sun was bursting this morning. Colours were amazing. Swell, not so much. Very straight in the corner, and better up the beach for a 1-1.5 turn wave.  Wondering if it will be better on the change of tide, as it was pretty low this morning.  And ive just found out…
