Sun soak
Its real nice outside…for now. Soak it up. It’s gonna hit 24 degrees and remain like this until a storm blows late arvo/early evening bringing a spot of rain. The wind is gentle, 10 knots from the NW making conditions nice and clean for surfers. Bondi had a little 2-3 foot wave. Looks to be […]
Monsoon
In between rain squalls I took some photos down the beach this morning. Sometimes I only got 10 minutes reprieve to stick a lens out and try and some snap some gold for you. One of those downpours was like standing under a water fall. Heavy. My car is sparkling clean though…with all that crusty […]
Mals only
The past two days have been small, this morning is micro. Group of mal riders in the middle enjoying a 1 foot peak and shallow bank. Such a nice morning nonetheless…a real treat to be swimming around as the sun came up behind Benny Buckler. Tengirri If you want to go to the Mentawais and […]
Dank
The strange muggy weather continues today. At least it’s damp with 2-3 footers. Bondi was nice and clean and relatively uncrowded for a weekday morning. I saw a few nice ones in the middle and in the corner. I am hoping tomorrow will be bigger and better. It’s gonna rain later and for the rest […]
filth
I’m not gonna talk about this filthy weather. Not one bit. I will mention that there is a little wave on today. Small, like 2-3 and infrequent, but rideable. Semi-fun. The rip right in the corner threw out the odd wave with some fruit on it. Patience was key. Valentine’s Day is early next week, […]
TRON
Today is the 1st day of summer – coulda fooled me. The southerlies have rolled into town and temperatures are back into the 15-20 range. The SE wind is howling 30 knots and the bay is full of white caps and sloshy foam. I didn’t see a single surfer out this morning – now that […]
Good times
Good times down the beach this morning. Good times. I had so much fun. The weather is freaky at the moment – either pouring and thunderstorms or summer heaven. Today the latter. The waves are micro and around your kneecaps. The water is decent, 19. The banks are ok, 2 peaks with a fun shore […]
Boo!
This morning went down a little something like this. The wind woke me up, southerly storm hit overnight and I could see choppy water out the back. I prayed for waves. Light was dancing behind broken morning cloud as I rolled down hill half asleep. I took a few snaps, some mega slow shutters, some […]
basking in the sun
3 good reasons to hit the beach right now. 1) It is gonna be a fat 32 degrees 2) It is gonna rain for the rest of the week 3) It is just perfect down there right now, ok, some waves would be nice, but you can’t have everything Waves will come Wed/Thursday. Bye for […]
Fine
Oh boy, from now until the weekend the weather is gonna be just perfect here in Sydney. I’m talking mid to late twenties, clear skies and gentle northerlies. A nice introduction into summer. It’s a bonus that there is also a little, flimsy, weak wave floppin’ into Bondi as well. I saw waves around shoulder […]
The Lone Wolf
When I travel and tell people I live and surf in Bondi they have this look of pain on their face, usually followed by “bit crowded there init?”. This makes me think back to days like these. It’s 4-5 foot, kinda clean, overcast and 1 dude out. Ok, it’s not barrelling and far from perfect […]
The Emerald Coast
Just got off the plane and went for a dawdle down the beach. To put it plainly – it’s an AMAZING DAY outside. The water is a deep emerald colour, it’s offshore (and quite strong), there is a fun little mal riding 2 footer crumbling with the schoolies pack frothin – what more could you […]
Fade
This is a public announcement…when surfing, can we limit 1 surfer for each wave. I know this might come as a shock to many that surfed Bondi this morning. But yes, not every wave is a team wave. I don’t think I’ve seen so many drop-ins in such a short period of time ANY where […]
