Those damn southerlies blowing boards off my balcony again. Howling last night. Who would have thought a 5’11" epoxy would survive a 2 storey drop then tumbleweedin’ down the street. Found a couple barbie covers out there amongst the rogue Sulo bins.

Last nights strong winds have kicked up some swell today. Bondi had waves around 4-5 foot but the onshore is making a total mess of it. No one out. Reckon you’ve gotta go northern beaches to get out of this wind (e.g Manly). I managed to sneak in one totally average shot of Bondi today, so I will only bore you with 1…thanks to Ian Stewart of Oceanic Images who shot one of the biggest swells ever to hit Tahiti last month – lighting up one mean mutha of Chopes. Seeing Teahuppo break at 6 foot is enough to keep this tiger in the dinghy cracking Hinanos – but this is just ridiculous.

Have a great week. The winds will ease tomorrow…the ocean will settle…and waves will get better (and some sun pls)…::uge
