Rough Water
OK so I’m a little dry on content today. I rolled down the beach…howling onshore and 2 foot – intermittent rain. Nothing to exciting. Barely anyone out surfing (smart). I drove around to Bronte…1 guy out…not doing much. The ocean is very agitated and you will need to wait for it to calm down. Be […]
Bronte
Today is just a taste of what spring is like. It’s a tease… It’s 23 degrees and it’s also very sunny. It will revert back to winter this weekend though. And hopefully bring some much needed swell ‘cause its tiny out there. I shot Bronte for something different. This Saturday, August 2 Power Living Yoga […]
Bogey Hole
I shot at Bronte this morning. It seemed like the only option today with this wild, wonky swell. Somewhere else is cranking today though…you just have to do a lot of driving to find it (and it would have to be tucked away from the winds). I saw some sets in the 4-5 foot range…mostly […]

Greetings. Hope you had a good weekend. How good was the weather? I love it when the forecast sets low expectations and then it’s burning sunshine and fun waves. Today the swell has kicked back a gear and only breaking waist to chest high. Still rideable and some fun (Small) ones. Nice and clean this […]

A survey of over 400 adults showed approximately 15% are morning people, 25% are evening people, and 60% are intermediates. I reckon it’s more than 15% for early birds around here…especially this time of year. As I always write, the wee hours are the best part of the day. The light is good, the winds […]

Well…it’s been better. As in better waves and better weather. It hasn’t stopped raining for hours and your vehicle is gettin’ a free wash today. I saw junkie waves around head high, sometimes bigger – but the ocean needs to calm down, so does the wind. It’s no Keramas out there…that’s for sure. Enjoy the […]

For something a lil’ different I was loitering around Bronte Pool this morning. Nice down there at sunrise. Not many waves at Bronte as Bondi had all the action. The swell came up as expected, approximately waist to chest high. Looks very weak…so ride something with a high volume of foam. Beautiful day to match, […]
Present
Why all the long (tanned) faces? Oh, back to work for most. Don’t worry, it’s the best day to go back into the office cubicle and hide as the beach has no waves or sunshine. Party is over. For today only. Tomorrow on the other hand is going to be a scorcher and the only […]

Today is another gloomy day down the beach. The wind is still howling and the ocean is a mess. Enough said. All you need to know about today is that the wind will start to drop tonight. Yesterday was an exciting day at the Pipeline Masters in Hawaii. It’s down to Parko and Slater for […]
Sticky
After a sticky night it’s going to be a hot one today, but still hotter tomorrow. Wow. There are no waves of significance to write about. Knee cappers. Hit the beach, it’s amazing right now. 10/10. Come to the Aquabumps Gallery, we’re open every day 10 to 6 and the deadline for xmas present orders […]
Beefcakes
I wish there was more on offer when these giant south swells come to town. There is just nothing rideable around here when it’s like this. Today is the last of the big stuff. From here on the winds will be lighter and our little sand banks will be able to manage the swell. I […]
The Big Boys
We have a giant rogue swell in town…it’s hitting the breakwalls at the back of the beaches. I’ve seen waves this morning up around 8-10 feet. I’ve also spent around 3 hours in the car driving around, stalking rideable swells, but really…it’s not on – too windy. A couple of mates surfed a bombie out […]
