Surfing should be a really low priority for you today, as the week of flatness continues. The wind has icy claws and is currently blowing 20-30 knots (strong). Put the boards away until the weekend. I hung around Bronte pool this morning and watched all the locals performing their morning rituals, some swimming, some just […]
soak
Ah yes….just one of those dayz…. The ocean is on idle whilst the sun is on overdrive. A sun soaked morning with 0.5 foot dribbles. Sometimes, from no where a 2 foot set arrives but that would be every 15-20 mins (extreme patience required). I’d say a swim is in order, yes, a dip and […]
Friday the 13th
The swell has come up and surpassed all of our expectations – it’s huge! Seeing it’s coming from the dead south Bondi is wearing the full brunt of this new ground swell. I saw sets up in the 8-9 foot range closing out the whole bay. Quite exciting really. I love how big waves stop […]
One Hit Wonder
Bit like a Britney Spears one hit wonder, the swell came and gone within 24hrs. Yesterday afternoon was smoking. Smoking. Around 2pm I drove around the eastern suburbs beaches and swell was stacked up to the horizon, breaking clean in offshore winds….ah yes… hell the sunshine was even out. Hope you managed to get out […]
Bus Stop
The rain has truly set in and the swell has jacked up a little. All of today’s shots were taken whilst huddling under a small shelter along Campbell Parade. I saw a few good waves roll through in front of the 2nd ramp – 2-3 foot, quite a large hungry crowd out sampling early, despite […]
Bondi Fix
Hola. Damn fine morning. Chilly though. Small little bump at Bondi (1-2 footers), clean and infrequent. Most crew where on the right/left in the corner, but I didn’t really see it do much – most waves started off flash, but fattened out pretty quickly. The sun is out, the skies full of colour at 6:30am […]
Bondi Rapids
I am not sure if I’m reading the right swell charts but they’re claiming a spike in swell period from 8 to 20 seconds during today. Don’t see that every day. 20 seconds is what you normally find in Indonesia with well-groomed ground swells, not here in Sydney. The wave heights are lacking size which […]
Curvy
Boom! Wow, how’s the thunderstorms last night? Thought Moses was waving that staff around at Mark’s Park. Boom! Another cold winters morning, the kind that hurts when putting on the rubber. The surf conditions were quite poor this morning – so I’m not really sure why I went out for a swim with my camera. […]
S h i f t y*
In came the new dead south swell but so did it’s buddy the wind. Waves pushed up into the 3 foot range but 20 knots of cross shore will definitely put some randomness out there. The gale is said to calm down as the day progresses, one can only hope that means an improvement in […]
Entourage
Not much to work with down at Bondi today (photography-wise). The storm clouds are laying it on thick as the swell doubled into the 4-6 foot range. Had to shoot these pics at 3200 iso…that’s how dark it was. 3 guys out early waiting for something decent to roll in…the SE onshore was hindering most […]
Straight
Another morning of good conditions down at Bondi – and don’t you all know it. Quite a few more crew out for the early on the whiff of a 3 foot set. Winds were a optimal NW early, but will swing more southerly as the day progresses (up to 20 knots). Looks like there will […]
fruity monday
After a successful weekend of south swell it’s tapered off somewhat this morning. Halved me thinks. Bondi had a 2-3 foot wave, little wonky but mostly fun as not many people were out (brr). The rain has now set in after threatening rain clouds circled the bay all morning. The great news is that we’ve […]
d e a d c a l m
It’s dead calm out there – Lake Bondi that is. Probably the flattest I’ve seen it in months. Completely forget surfing today (in Sydney). You’ll just be disappointed. Tomorrow same same. Sunday tiny and then finally a new south swell on Monday. Special morning. Not sure if it was the winter sunshine, the still conditions […]
