Get Wet
I woke, peered at my phone…like we all do as we’re phone addicts…and saw the forecast was 28 degrees for today. How could I not go for a swim. Coming down? There were tiny waves on a central Bondi bank. Best suited to beginners and longboarders. North Bondi is looking the biz right now with […]
Dripping
Good afternoon. Sorry about the late post, I did shoot at sunrise in the frosty winds. Cold wasn’t it? Bondi had a little wave, 1-2 foot at 7am. With an inbound swell it’s growing by the minute. Right now it’s 3 foot. The next 5 days is going to be perfect for around here. Small […]

Looks just like yesterday! Not a cloud in the sky…1-2 footers…clean az…perfect for a swim! There seems to be only two banks in operation at Bondi. Both are popular with the early risers and long boarders. Surfcraft or not, nice one to swim. Very invigorating. The shark situation around Byron Bay is sparking media attention and […]
Bbrr
Cold – ain’t it just? Very different to the last few days weeks months. ‘Grey’ and ‘drizzle’ – two words to best describe what I saw down the beach this morning. Gonna get even colder tomorrow. Ah-huh. I bet you didn’t get out from under the covers until it was in the 7’s. A good […]
Clear
These mornings are immaculate. The crisp, clear, chilly winter’s air is a real treat. Shame about the lack of surf – it’s flat az… Fortunately tomorrow will host the odd 3 footer and it will build from there. Just when you’ve think you’ve seen it all, a guy pulls out his dirt bike and tries […]
Frigid
That pre-sunrise offshore wind has a bite to it – duzzzinit? Another cold morning dropping to 6 degrees. The air is super clean and super crisp. Colours seem to pop in this winter air. I like that. We have a long period dead south swell in town. South facing beaches would be attracting 3-4 footers…inconsistently. […]
Salty
Yo Beach Lovers, T’was a little bit too rainy and risky to swan around with 20 gees worth of camera gear this morning…my insurance company loves me for it. Here’s some images from last summer. There are waves, 2-3 footers and looked kinda clean, early. 32 knots of southerly now though. Yeah, 32 knots…that’s bloody […]
Peaks
Nice surfing conditions down at Bondi Beach this morning. The huge crowd tells me you already knew that…right? Bondi loves a good 3-4 foot South swell. Got some dreamy little banks too. Unfortunately if you missed the morning session it’s all over – the southerly is now in and blowing 16 knots. It’s a junk […]
Chunx
So many places would be lighting up today…most of them are a minimum 3-4 hours drive away from here. Every time I book a day of meetings you can be assured 6 foot pumping south swell! Yes give me a tissue… If you’re reading this you really should get outside and go for a drive […]
Caves
The 6:00am high tide swallowed up anything worth surfing this morning. By the time you read this it should be close to low…and probably much better. Lovin’ these autumn mornings. The air feels clean, the light is warm and the sun rises later so I can have more of a sleep in! Small waves all […]
Hello
This morning I went for my routine swim to assess the surf and water conditions for you. It was real pretty at 6:45am…some amazing colours scattered across the skies. The water was warm and semi-clear. The waves were a small, 1-2 foot and lacking substance. Swell arrives tomorrow…phew. I spent 30 minutes chasing string rays, […]
50/50
I wasn’t sure if it would be pouring with rain or deeply overcast this morning. Surprisingly…it was neither. Golden hues welcomed the day after a steamy night…felt just like Singapore. By 8am the cloud cover won the battle and is here to stay. Waves – nothing of significance to discuss. I saw weak waist high […]
Vibrant
Sydney really turned it on with an amazing sunrise to start the day. How good was it? Thousands had their phones out capturing the morning hues before returning to their daily rituals. Quite a rare morning. Coincidentally the surf has turned on. South swell and offshore winds. 4 foot. BINGO! Bondi was closing out (no […]
