If the sweltering heat of last night didn’t keep you awake last night, the search party choppers sure did. 2 guys went for a swim last night, 1 split off and decided to swim ashore – then went home to return to the couch (without telling his buddy)…meanwhile, the lone swimmer called a full scale search – rescue choppers (x2), police boats, ambos, police where in full force. I reckon that search would have costed 30 gees at least. Moral of the story – if you’re planning a night time bay lap, maybe let someone know. And maybe night time isn’t the best time to do so.
Back to waves, well the southerly has rolled in to cool the furnace of yesterday. 25 knots of blow kicked up some wind waves for the early – but it’s super mushy and random. The fact that no one was out says it all. Onshore and cool again tomorrow. In fact this whole week doesn’t look that great for surfers.

Hey Uge, which TS lens you rocking with the first + last shots?
24mm…just testing it out and loving it. Uge
Thought it might have been. I hired one for a couple of days but definitely think i need to spend some more time with one. Looking very closely at a 45mm option instead though – just like the dof a little more.
try the “lensbaby”. fun with shallow dof.
