Plenty
If you were anywhere near the coastline over the weekend you’d know the swell has been rather large for a few days. Not as many options as I would have liked, Bondi a 1 wave close out from South to North (6-8ft), Tama + Bra a wash through and Bronte had a little sumpin’ that […]
Monsters
The much anticipated spread of south swell goodies has arrived overnight. It has leaped from 2-3 foot to 4-6 foot. It’s from the dead south and its quite solid. The winds are a grooming offshore – strong and freezing. Bondi was a wash through, being super exposed to the south and a beachie (unfortunately that […]
light
Today is the light at the end of a Grey tunnel. After close to 1 week of unsurfable conditions we have offshore winds and 4-6 footers. Bondi was smaller as there is plenty of east in the swell, but neighbouring bays had plenty. At sunrise it looked full and wobbly…but by the time you read […]
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 […]
Washout
My shoot this morning was a complete washout. It’s pouring and the winds are howling. Swell is up though, 4-5 footers and only getting bigger – should be 6-8 foot on dark. Quality is VERY poor, as the wind butchers anything moving. So today we are going to revisit some images from Bronte last week. […]
Bronnie
Hola. Gettin’ out of that toasty car this morning was well worth it. Yesterday’s booming swell has halved, ok maybe even quartered, but there’s plenty of fun ones still to be had. Expect to wait a while in between sets…the lulls were long and the surfaces were clean. I swam around Bronte this morning. Super […]
Chunky
Wow what a morning…The swell peaked at sunrise and is thumpin’ right now. One of the best days shooting in some time…my cards are full of golden light, big chunks and roaring offshore plumes. Most breaks in our area are max’ing out. Bronte had a fat (big) wave – breaking wide (6ft +), nothing special. […]
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 […]
Winter light
I like this time of year around Bondi. The hordes have left, the line-up is sparse, winter storms create plenty of south swell and the light makes for good camera fodder. The sun now rises side onto the beach which is better for these morning shots as I’m not shooting directly into the sun. Don’t […]
Drive Thru
It’s a whole lot prettier now than when I got out of bed this morning. The swell is up and angry, the sou-wester is howling and it’s winter claws dig deep (I am currently wearing 2 jumpers). I saw waves in the 4 to 5 foot vicinity on an extremely low morning tide. Bondi had […]
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 […]
Chunk
Hi. Today has started off well, plenty of colour in the sky, warmth in the water and chunk in the bump. If you’re not doing much I’d go for a drive as locally we have limited options with this decent south swell (4ft) – it’s basically closing out at most joints. Especially Bondi, which was […]
Groundswell
Looks like the charts got it right this week…we’ve got waves, good ones too! It’s about 3-4 foot and coming in from the south. That’s DEAD south (188 degrees if you’re a weather geek). That means basically if you’re not surfing a southern exposed beach it won’t be too consistent – or showing much bump. […]
