Zero…. thats how many surfers there were at the first 4 beaches I checked between 8.30 and 9 this morning, some of those beaches included some of our more popular haunts as well!! and the conditions were good. Empty clean waves were firing off all over the place.. sure it wasn’t as big as the days previous, but there were some fine looking A-frame peaks doing their thing all by themselves. All of todays shots are .... CLICK HERE to see the rest
Just got back from a weekend up the coast. No it wasn’t a surf weekend or even a surf photo weekend, just had a few commercial jobs on, so my beach time was extremely limited. I did however get 20 minutes glimpses of the ocean on the Saturday and Sunday and below are a few snaps from a perfectly sunny weekend....CLICK HERE to see all the pics
The rain deluge is over!! cooking sun and a light north-west breeze on the coast this morning, this is more like winter time in Coffs. That week was horrendous for a photographer and a surfer. Not too many waves were had during that east coast low explosion and I bet there are a few just getting over a serious bout of cabin fever. The forecast for the next w....CLIK HERE to see it all
Regular viewers of our website would have heard us bangin on about some video projects we have been working on over the last two months, well today you can finally see some of the fruits of our labour. Last night the Taylor Steele “Innnersection” spring round went live and our video clip of Harley Ingleby made it in there. It’s only been going less than 24 hours but Harley is currently rated inside the top 5 (on the highest rated tab).... CLIK HERE to go to post and then on to the clip!!
Last week Jay Bryant from Jetty high school spent a week with us doing some work experience. I took him on a few commercial type shoots during the week, but also got him up early to give him a taste of what we do with our morning surf photography. Already a keen surfer himself he fitted into the slot nicely. I let him loose with one of our old digi cameras and a 70-200mm lens and with....CLICK HERE to see Jay's best pics for the week
You can pretty much bank on the month of May to produce amazing surf on the mid north coast. Consistent offshore winds, clear skies and swells from the east and south all came together nicely in 2011 to live up to its high expectations. We were working heavily on a couple of video projects but still managed to keep our stills camera’s rolling to capture some of the best moments of a month I will remember for a while yet….CLICK HERE to see the best shots from the month
I suggest getting outdoors as much as possible today cause there is a heap of bad weather on the way. Sunshine, light winds and an increasing south-east swell is up for the takings today. There was an early crew up enjoying themselves at this little northern beachie. There should be fun waves to ride right up....click here see all the pics
The offshores winds had some bite at first light this morning. The crisp winds that are so common this time of year make for unreal surface conditions but they make it damn hard to get into a cold wetsuit. Water temps however are still..... click here to see full post and pics
The clean, pumping conditions from the weekend are continuing this morning. A light westerly is grooming a head high east swell and it looks like been a similar picture for the rest of this week. Backbeaches, ope..... click here
We went driving this morning… nearly did the entire length of the Coffs coast… every spot between Woolgoolga and Nambucca Heads was sussed before finding this slabbing beachbreak. The ocean is still very unorganised from this large south-east swell, so surfable locations were super limited, we hardly saw another surfer in the water at the countless spots we called in at. The weekend is looking the goods, dropping swell.... CLICK HERE to see full post from yesterday
Local shredder John Craig went through the junior series with Dean Morrison when they were wee tackers, so when the latest profile movie on Deano came out called “A Dingo’s tale” I thought who better to review the film than me mate Johnny. What follows is his account of this fresh new flick..... click here to read the full review and see the trailer
Last Saturday was finals day at the Crescent Head classic and the point turned on some long rippable walls for the competitors, who were lucky enough to get this pointbreak with just 5 other surfers in the water. Peeling waist to shoulder high waves improved all day providing a perfect canvas for these longboard shredders to draw some tracks all over this surfing icon. It was a smiles and sunshine for the 3-day event and possibly the most ideal waves they have had for the comp in many years. Below are some of the leftover images that....

The rain held off just long enough for a super nice weekend. The weather was spectacular and the surf was pretty fun to boot. I was at Crescent for the final day of the longboard classic on the Saturday and then was back to the north end of Coffs Harbour for the Woopi boardriders meet on Sunday morning. Both spots had good waves ....CLICK HERE to read and see more
The month of May isn’t done with yet. Autumn has got one more solid south-swell left in it’s tank. The predicted swell lines were clearly evident on first inspection this morning, a brisk cross/offshore wind was grooming the stacked rows of new south swell, considering the conditions, there were very few takers. Plenty of waves going unridden… there was .... click here to see full post
Has our dream run come to an end??….. well maybe for a few days, another south swell is set to march up the coast tomorrow afternoon, but until that hits we have some very tiny clean waves. Grommets and loggers will be frothing, others will be ...Click here to see todays full post
The beach was again a nice place to be this morning, there wasn’t thundering barrels or epic lighting, but did have a peaceful calm feeling. The ocean was smooth the wind was light and the air temp was fairly mild. I ventured to a quiet beach south of Coffs with a couple of mates. The search was better than the rewards today, but its always worth the effort. Waves look like they will be....Click here to see full post
I went for a little drive this morning, so that’s why its coming at you a bit later than usual. I was up well before it got light and well before the thermometer was north of 5 degrees….. geez the mornings have been chilly over the last week or so. Anyway turned out it was worth the effort, the swell quality had improved, the offshore winds were again with us and the groundswell lines looked amazing. We are having some sort of run at the moment. Once again I got some epic video footage as well as...click here to see more pics from today venture
Hands up whose loving the month of May!! south swells continued to pump over the weekend and there is still some of that swell pouring in this morning. After an all night offshore wind the open beaches are starting to sort themselves out and there no signs of anything below head high for the rest of the week….the winds look pretty much perfect too. That main shot in today’s post has got be close to the best empty wave shot I’ve taken from land. That peak just pushed in really quick and then threw out so far, I wish I had some one back-dooring that thing.....click here to see more
What a day!! perfect autumn surf conditions have unfolded for us lucky mid north coasters today. The swell increased from yesterday and the swell period stretched right out to give us some super good quality beach breaks. There were barrels everywhere you looked, if you didn’t find a fun spot to surf today you might as well give up. I haven’t got a stack of photos from today’s perfection, I instead used the video camera for an up coming project which should see the light of day around mid June….safe to say I got some solid keepers……. I hope you got amongst it!....click here to see full post
Well we are back in Coffs Harbour this morning and don’t we know it. I checked 4 spots and drove the length of boambee beach and then back into a popular town beach before I saw a single person surfing!! after being on the Gold coast (the land of a million surfers) it was nice to see good, clean waves breaking at so many locations with no....
