Rummage
It’s not pretty out there. If you rummage around, you might get lucky with a wedge; otherwise, it was mainly wind-affected, choppy, random 2-foot. The waves on the weekend were much better! I surfed 4 times.
Small conditions are expected this week – Thursday probably being your best chance of a wave. Chance of rain today and a top of 27 degrees.
As you were.

Clearing
Some thick horizon clouds delayed the sunrise. I hear it’s been stormy (I was in Perth), and it’s starting to fine up for my return which pleases me. I watched/shot the surf for about 30 minutes and concluded there wasn’t much opportunity. It looks very random, a bit junkie and small. Quite unimpressive. The ice […]

One Day in W.A.
G’day from W.A. I’ve timed my 24-hour jaunt to sunny Perth well, as Bondi is smothered with southerlies and storms. Perth is known for its sunny weather and enjoys an average of 8 hours of sunshine daily throughout the year, one of Australia’s highest. The average temperature in summer is around 30°C! Thankfully the cooling […]

Onya Molly
A perfect morning for a swim at sunrise – warm, windless, waveless and balmy 24 degrees in the brine. Yes, 24. That’s about as warm as Sydney gets in summer in the water. It’s like a bath. The sunrise is much later as we exit summer – so a late wake-up will still see the […]

30*
Minuscule surf today, pretty much a shorey @ 9:04 am high tide. NE winds are blowing, typical of a hot summer’s day. It’s going to get hot (30), and the beach looks busy (11:30 am). Put the boards away for a couple of days until a new south swell arrives late Wednesday (flanked by onshore […]

Good Friday
This morning, on my way to school drop off (via scooter) a crazy driver in a big Lexus tried to nudge me off the road. They could barely see over the wheel, being a menace swerving across lanes recklessly – probably listening to full-bore Chilli peppers – without a care in the world. Kinda felt […]

Hectic
The weather has turned on and small, clean fun waves are on offer. The crowds have been hectic though – so many crew! Be careful out there – I saw so many near misses. We’ve got a few more days of good weather and small surf. Enjoy. :: uge

Settle down
Finally, it’s settled down out front and the waves are looking fun. The Gabs Cyclonic swell is on the decline and surfaces look smoother. Did you get a wave in? As you read this riveting editorial the tide is going low, I prefer the higher tides for a slay. The banks look to have survived […]

Grumpy Gabs
Cyclone Gabs, sitting off our north coast is pushing down some meaty East swell. Whilst that may sound exciting for ocean enthusiasts, it’s actually not lining up that great with plenty of junk in the trunk. Bondi had surfers tucked up in the northern corner, nothing special. Middles occasionally had a left, typical of a […]

Gabrielle
Today’s not idyllic, not a beach day…do some work. It’s horribly onshore, wild and grey/spitting. Swell from northern cyclone Gabrielle is in town, and waves can be considerable – especially at East facing beaches (unlike Bondi). However, last Saturday was a full-tilt, glamourous Sydney cracker worthy of shooting. Sit tight, and wait for these unsettled […]

All Clear
After a day of storms, we’ve returned to our glorious summer sunny days. Quite incredible how different today is to yesterday. There are waves around shoulder to head high, it looks to be declining and was bigger at sunrise. With very gentle breezes and 29 degrees forecasted, call it quits and hit the beach. You […]

Confessions
I’ll ‘fess up, I didn’t shoot this morning. Instead, I was on the sofa with the monsters watching The Pipeline Masters finals. Go Robbo! Looking at the beach now, I haven’t missed much – a very dreary unphotogenic morning with dark skies, rain, thunderstorms and lightning. We have had a dream run of weather lately, […]

Loubi’s on Bondi
The French designer Christian Louboutin needs no introduction – famous for his red sole shoes. He’s landed in Bondi, in the way of a pop up – to celebrate what Australia is famous for – our long hot Summer with ‘Loubi’s on the beach’. From today until the 19th of February. My take on Loubi’s – […]
