- back n forth 22nd november / daily / November 22, 2012 / tom
Yesterday we had a strong southerly swell with hooking south winds, this morning its a whole new story with north winds and an east swell. Spring weather can be all over the place and sometimes it all happens ...
- wind chill 5th july / daily / July 5, 2012 / tom
Even the blazing morning sunshine isn't keeping that sou-west wind chill at bay today, we are just getting reminded that we do get some sort of winter here on the mid north coast. I know a lot of ...
- jason flanagan / featured / February 1, 2011 / tom
Recently we got a chance to catch up with world class shaper Jason Flanagan. Most of you crew would have heard about Flanagan surfboards, but this little interview gives a great insight into where he's come from, what he ...
- logging 19th january / daily / January 19, 2011 / tom
That low pressure system has shot off to New Zealand really fast and most of the swell has gone with it. Most of my shots today are of "Log rider" Jack Lynch. Jack's a cool cat from Scotts Head who ...
- fun park 13th january / daily / January 13, 2011 / tom
It was a little fun park out at this northern corner this morning. There was someone shredding on nearly every bump that came through. The swell is still unorganised at most beaches, but it is on the mend. Swell predictions ...
- its back on 4th january / daily / January 4, 2011 / tom
Surfing was pretty much off the menu yesterday with the near flat conditions and poor surface conditions, but that has all changed this morning with the arrival of a building southerly swell. It was waist to shoulder high at 6am, ...
- few favourites 28th dec / daily / December 28, 2010 / tom
Well after a few days off over chrissy we were ready to pick up the cameras again this morning, but the ocean didn't look real pretty. The strong southerly wind and junky swell were making a mess of even ...
- full tide 19th october / daily / October 19, 2010 / tom
There is still some south swell hanging around this morning, but most spots are getting done in by the high tide. Once again those outside banks with the deep inside gutter really suits the lower tides, especially when the swell ...
- coffs boardriders go camping oct2010 / featured / / tom
Once the cars were packed with boards, tents, pillows and liquid refreshments the Coffs boardriders headed two hours south to overtake a small bush campsite situated on a quite, white sandy beach.
Driving down the coast on Saturday morning, the radio ...
- flippers 24th september / daily / September 24, 2010 / tom
I went for the flippers instead of the tripod this morning to give a different angle of this super spring swell. The ocean looked to have a little morning sickness today, wonky walls were possibly a by-product of yesterday's northerly ...
- epic 23rd september / daily / September 23, 2010 / tom
man its pumping again! this sweet groundswell is amazing. Solid waves keep coming and this mornings winds were near perfect. Beach breaks, pointbreaks and reefs all up and down the mid north coast will be all lighting up for the ...
- rainy 21st september / daily / September 21, 2010 / tom
Rainy, grey start to the new week, but there have been some waves about. The solid south swell from the weekend is continuing to pulse on the Coffs coast, it looks like there will be cracking waves for a while ...
- mist 25th june / daily / June 25, 2010 / tom
Beautiful sea mist rising off the warm ocean this morning, a chilly overnight temp made diving into the ocean a better option than standing on the beach; my fingers were freezing holding on to the camera and tripod at 6.30am. ...
- silhouettes 21st may / daily / May 21, 2010 / tom
For about 20 minutes this morning I had a killer golden backdrop to work with. The sunrise just had enough room between the horizon cloud cover and the heavy overcast sky above. Lucky for me Alex Swadling was out there ...

The swell is starting to ramp up this morning, it seems to be the start of this new south-east swell that is predicted to peak on Friday and into the weekend. I was only down there for ...
