EEEs
Hard day to get any decent shots of surfing. The winds are still howling (E), like the past 3 days. Only 2-3 guys out at North Bondi – man they’re keen. It was a junkyard out there. Everywhere else was deserted. The best wave I saw all morning was caught by body surfer, Lee with […]
hello
Sorry about the late update…time snuck away. Well finally the weather has cleared, the onshores subsided and a neat SSE swell is pumping into the bay. It’s only 2-3 foot…much smaller than previous days, but super fun. The morning sun was out, blaring, soaking everything in tones of orange. The water was exceptional – has […]
Pitter Patter
I sat in the car park for 30 minutes this morning, heater cranking, windscreen wipers going mad. No bootie camps, no surfers, no joggers, nothing but rain and a sloppy 3-4 foot. Hang on, one guy was surfing Bronte…but he wasn’t getting’ much. I would have shot Bondi should someone have paddled out…it actually looked […]
Morning Bullet Points
It’s a fine morning, small waves, sun and warmth – got it going on. The swell has dropped, been cranking all week – had to end – now 2 foot. A lot of people woke dis morning and went down the beach. Packed. It’s going to be a delightful 22 degrees today (after the fog […]
The green hornet
People often ask me about the funny stuff I see on my early morning meanderings. Funny stuff is pretty much on tap down at Bondi. For example, at 7am this morning whilst I was shooting/basking in morning light, a gentleman ran past me wearing nothing but, what looked like, bright green undies. Odd. The outfit […]
should’a been here yesterday
Sounds like most have filled their wave quotas up over the weekend. Wasn’t it a good one for surfers? Well today showed promise at 6:00am and then the southerly blast hit around 7 a.m. – destroying your hope of a uncrowded Monday morning surf. Good day to stay indoors and get busy (at work). There […]
Le Bumps
That was a real nice weekend. I was impressed to see waves on Saturday at Bondi…fun ones (nothing on Sunday). The water has been SO clear and warm lately. Perfect weather. Can’t get much better than that. Today Bondi had the odd 2 foot freak set, but mostly 1 footers dribbled into the corner (with […]
Some dayz
Some days it’s quite hard to come up with 7 entertaining images for this blog. Today is one of THOSE days. There was no sunrise this morning as clouds’n’rain smothered the 1st light. Intermittent rain can also make it tricky to shoot – it pays to have the sanctuary of your car close by. The […]
Happy Mondays
Monday’s are a good day. Start of a new week and all the office workers are hiding in their cubicles recuperating from a weekend of debauch activities. Yes I’m talking to you Birdie. The line-up at South Bondi is quiet, empty and resembling a country beach. Who’d thought 20,000 people graced these shores only a […]
Yesterday
Hi. I like yesterday more. Yesterday was an amazing beach day. Wasn’t meant to be. Forecast was for rain, but it cooked up and the skies stayed clear until the late south change hit whilst we were all sleeping. Today is a grey, rainy junkyard. No one surfing, no one on the beach. A good […]
Remember me?
Hey – happy new year kids, yep, we’re back on for another year. May 2011 bring you plenty of swell, buckets of green and the odd shady cave. To start the year we have an east wind swell with east wind. Not the best combo. Conditions are a little junkie but surfable (2-3 foot at […]
Silly Season
Summer has finally kicked in and silly season has begun. Scores of people hit the beach yesterday, and some didn’t leave (see exhibit A above, must’ve strolled at of the Bondi hotel at the wee hours, fallen in Hungry Jacks, then passed out on the beach). Onya buddy. Poor fella has probably only been in […]
chop-hop
There is plenty going on down the beach, just not in the surf department. We’ve got wind chop coming from the NE…but it’s barely breaking. Tomorrow we should see an increase in size, from the north again (not suited to Bondi). Probably one of the busiest mornings down the beach in a long time. Exercise […]
