Bueno
Looking the goods out there today. It started dark and cloudy but has now blossomed into a corker. The waves turned on for the morning session too. Three-footers galore, lovely bowls on the inside, and a massive rip kept the lineup beginner-free. We’re heating up to a very comfortable 25 degrees, go outside, it’s magnificent. […]
Colour Blaze
Sydney was gifted a blaze of colour at dawn – it was pretty special. It stopped everyone in their tracks, phones out, selfies galore…you’re probably still swiping through the sea or sunrise content from today. What was impressive was that it was a full sky curtain of super intense pinks. Often, we get bits and […]
F I C K L E
Some days it can bit hard to sit on the beach and take photos of everyone scoring good waves when I want to be out there myself. (no violins please…my turn comes when you all go to work) Bondi was looking great this morning with 2 peaks in operation. The newly formed and very popular […]
vicious
There is a big south swell in town. It’s not lining up so great so Bondi to Bronte weren’t really surfable this morning. No one out. The protected south corner of Maroubra was where everyone gravitated too, but that was a bit wonky or really small as you got deeper into the corner. So you […]
The Early Bird
It’s not often you’ll get a daily email from me this early – nup. I guess it’s a combination of no decent waves to photograph today and an abundance of early light for the insomniacs (me), so I’m ahead of my usual schedule. Yesterday the wind finally swung south, this is good. A) it means […]
Salubrious
I was surprised to see a little left wedge puttin’ on some fun rides down at Bondi this morning. It’s the leftovers from that booming south swell that hit last Friday…. today is very surfable considering the charts said it was going to be flat…but then again those same charts said it was going to […]

The days all seem to be the same this week. It all starts off with early morning cloud that usually burns off by 8am. The winds are offshore NW and the water temperature remains a comfortable 22 degrees (boardies). The mercury will hit 25 on land and it’s perfect beach weather (yep). You’d be surprised […]
Meeting request
Ok ok…so the cat is out of the bag. Surf is pumping and Sydney’s coastline has lit up with peaky, south swell, 4 foot gems. I must say its dramatically better now than when I shot it this morning. The rips are horrendous, but there are some great waves to be had. Have to go…um…to […]
D i v e r s i t y
Volatile weather at the moment in Sydney – not too dissimilar to the north shore of Hawaii. Sunny 1 minute, raining the next. A grey calm morning out there. Bondi had a neat little 2-3 footer, glassy and classy. Shame we have no decent banks. Right now it’s sunny and raging West-Sou-West winds – looking […]
Contrast
In stark contrast to yesterday we’ve got overcast skies, drizzle, onshore winds and 2-3 footers – oh, and a empty Bondi beach. Barely anyone around…as it’s no pretty picture down there. Maybe wait until it cleans up tomorrow. Small waves all week mostly in the 2-3ft range. Only 22 degrees on the land today, the […]
Conclusion
The remnants of this week-long ENE swell continues to provide entertainment for surfers today. Exposed beaches are enjoying clean 2-3 footers, but Bondi is smaller facing the wrong way – 1-2 footers (great for beginners – no one around). I still haven’t seen many decent waves break – in fact all week the banks haven’t […]
