Alignment
This week it looks like our planets are aligning…oh boy, it’s good. To start with the weather is immaculate, sunny, clear and the next three days will soar to 25 degrees. Not bad for this time of year. Ok, she’s a little chilly at the start/ends of the day…but at least the water is a […]
Red
There has been some freaky natural moments going down in the past 24 hours. Let’s start with that super moon last night, wasn’t it huge? Biggest it will be in 25 years. At 6am this morning the sunrise was sprayed red above Sydney. T’was quite the spectacle. And now we have a thumpin’ east swell […]

Good morning. I am back from Kiwiland (thanks Cuzis) and pleasantly greeted with a new south swell. Bondi was a bit out of control (that means it’s above head high) and Bronte played host to some decent 4-5 footers. Looks like all that wind that blew yesterday stirred up some fruit. If you are not […]
B-Sides
Today is that horrible combination of pouring rain and tiny, blown out ‘waves’ (more like sloshy chop). Really your options today are very limited. Surfing should not be high up there on the priorities. Keeping dry should be your main goal. Fortunately the swell is being whipped up as you read this, but it won’t […]

Hey there. Nothing really amazing down the beach this morning. The sunrise was smothered with thick dark storm clouds that finally cleared around 8:30am. There are fun(ish) little 3 footers around, Bondi looked messy and barely anyone out, whilst around the corner looked better. Tomorrow is going to be a really nice day. Perfectly sunny […]
Winter Chill
It’s here. The claws of winter. After a nice stretch of beautiful weather the southerly boomer has dropped land temperatures – maximum of only 20 today. The south storms have also brought swell, 4-6 foot at Bronte this morning… worth a paddle. Few decent rights grinding out the back. Been to the Potato Head Beach […]
Breeze
Funny old week… Most days have been chest to head high (weak), some bigger ones yesterday (4-6). The winds have been up early most days though, puttin’ loads of chop-flop on them faces. Bronte, with its almighty huge chunk of rock at the south end is probably the pick – hiding from the wind. Bondi […]
Fools Gold
Fresh serve of south swell is in town, it’s quite big too – like 4-5 foot, but it just doesn’t seem to want to do it. Bronte kinda had a wobbly right, Bondi was messy and well…not great…I think you need to head to the other side of the bridge, something with loads of southerly […]
hello
In the 1 hour of roaming the beaches of the east I took 4 photos. That’s odd (I normally shoot around 60). Barely anyone surfing the 2 footers on offer, the sky was dark grey and generally another quiet onshore beach day. Bondi was looking horrible with the southerly tearing it apart @ 25 knots […]
the goods
Greetings. I liked what I saw this morning. Plenty of colour in the sky early, the Sculpture by the sea are out and there is a solid 3 foot swell hittin’ town. It’s clean and plenty of waves on offer. This dreamy picture will transform later today, showers predicted tonight and the southerly will blow […]
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 […]
Chunks
The swell took a break yesterday but seems to have come back late this morning. It’s going to pick up all afternoon and should hit 6-8 foot later. Big tomorrow morning! Winds are still SW offshore but quite strong (15-20 knots). Most breaks in our neighbourhood again not really surfable. Bondi still closing out, as […]
B e e f y
This solid south swell just keeps on giving. Last night it came in hard – I saw sets at Bondi that must have been 10-12 footers. I am talking one wave closing out the whole bay. At dawn Bronte had a wave…not many out as it’s a lot of paddling to get out. If you […]
