Bronte Bunker

Windy and chunky – that’s a good summation of what I saw down the beach today. You’ll need to surf nooks and crannies tucked away from the Southerly. Its kinda offshore right now, SW, but it will edge around to the South later today and pick up to 20 knots. Typical winter’s day. Rained 3 […]

Flimsyville

Hi. It’s another nice morning. Kinda freaky with warmer temps as the wind blows from the North, which is uncharacteristic of this time of year. The flimsy ENE swell is still here in town, but its weak and on the decline. I saw ‘waves’ at Bronte around waist high and Bondi has something dribbling in […]

Sorry about the late transmission. No… I haven’t been surfing all morning, even if the waves are the best they’ve been all week long. Finally the winds have swung offshore and the swells are lining up. Bondi at sunrise was very dark with thick cloud cover and a handful of dudes surfing mostly closeouts mixed […]

Today was very similar to the other days of this week…south swell, little bit of wobble, Bondi was no good and closing out, Bronte seemed to have all the action. Small increase in swell today, head high sets for sure. It will fade and another swell will be due on Monday. A little bit warmer […]

Good morning

Started off a little dark this morning. Small glow on the horizon around 7am throwing out a lil’ colour which was nice. Bronte had a clean little waist to head high bump, Bondi had same-same but absolutely no banks to speak off. So bad. Most waves just closing out before you’d even get to your […]

Darko

Very dark morning out there. Couldn’t really shoot any images until at least 7am, which is very late for me. The good news is that under all this grey there are waves in Sydney, 3 footers. Bronte looked cleaner and lining up quite nicely this morning around 7:30am. Barely anyone around. Nice protection from the […]

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 […]
