Bondi Bumps
We haven’t had good waves in ages. Not much has broken over my head during the festive season in Sydney. My shrink told me to look at other sports over summer, you know, be less 1 dimensional and spread my energy into sports less dependent on fickle weather’n’waves (or move to Hawaii). Today we have […]
Over-Froth
The surf was a little disappointing this morning. I thought it was going to be a lot better with some new swell. It wasn’t. Isn’t. Dribbly knee to waist high waves flopped on a South bank…looking kinda of messy with a little wind around. The weather on the other hand is top notch – 10 […]
Water People
I had a really good time shooting these ten photos down at Bondi Beach this morning. I hope it shows. The water was immaculate, warm and clear. The sun was out baking without a cloud of hindrance in the sky. Wind – there was none. Waves – none of those either. Well I guess I […]
Royal Visit
The Royals are coming to Bondi today. I told Prince Charlie that the waves aren’t that great today, only knee to waist high and very weak. Told him to bring his big board down – like a log – oh and a wettie as the water is freezing. Nice day though – cracker…as we look […]
Bondi Magic
Can you believe it’s going to be 34 degrees today? Wow. Typical of Sydney, as soon as it gets hot a storm will follow. Wind coming too. That’ll cool it right down from 34 to 21 tomorrow. Wow. The surf was dribbling in this morning. Knee cappers and worthy of a log. Tomorrow is totally […]
Dawn Dip
There was a little right hand wave in the middle of Bondi. Packed and a little dangerous but fun. The bank looks good. Was a pleasure going for a dawn dip…water is clear and decent temp (rubber still required). Southerly is gonna blow 20 knots this arvo whipping up a bit of swell for the […]
Staple diet
Wow, what a morning… I hope you got up early for it. Today’s 8 images taken at sunrise depict a staple diet for us …a shot of the Icebergs (std), couple good surfing shots with waves overhead high (tick), a sunrise shot over Benny Buckler (No.356,767), a surfing lifestyle shot with Andrej paddling out in […]
Salty Observations
Today has it all. This is what I saw… I went down the beach early…5:20am…couldn’t sleep in with all this warm weather. I suffer from FOMO (Fear of missing out). The first thing to catch my eye was the rubbish. Tonnes of the stuff left on the beach yesterday. Disgust. I then strolled down to […]
toosday
I think a rainy grey cloud followed me around all morning. Sunshine persevered everywhere I wasn’t. Bondi has returned to the quiet country town after a full on long weekend. The shops are empty…the cafe baristas are staring aimlessly out the window and a few showers scared most beach goers off this morning. Bondi has […]
B 0 N D 1
Yo. I have to say we’ve had a decent run of small swells the past 3 weeks. Today I found shoulder to head high wind swells breaking at Bondi. It actually looked like fun…Not a patch on our famous left of last week, which has now been downgraded as the sand moved to the rocks. […]
Morning Swim
Looks like our left is starting to morph into a right. The northerlies have blown all the sand up closer to Icebergs making it close out – especially with this morning’s low tide. Swells got a bit of East to it now. That’s not good for Bondi. Shoulder high waves today. Bigger tomorrow – a […]
Mini
It’s still microscopically small and dead calm. The sun was out and warm, but the wind was icy and offshore. The crowds were non-existent and there’s a shallow, good bank in the south. Just nothing to break on it. Calm conditions will dominate over the weekend – but it will be cold. Don’t forget its […]
Twenty-5
What a day aye? Sunny and 25. Just perfect. Little left chuggin’ into Bondi. Good for the big mals. Waist to sometimes shoulder high. Friday should have a little wave. Other than that – it’s going to be small for some time now…which normally comes hand in hand with good weather as a high pressure […]
