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 […]
Gusts
Oh boy it’s flat as this morning. I’m torkin’ pancakes, ironing boards, Twiggy…stuff like that. The sun was out and the winds have arrived. It’s going to hooooooowwl 20 -30 knots today from the west – which will mean those snowfields will cool down Sydney quite rapidly. In fact it is going to be super […]
Light
Today and tomorrow are the smallest days of this week. It may even be completely flat tomorrow and was barely breaking at sunrise today. The highlight of the morning was the spectacular sunrise. Gold. A perfect setup… thin cloud strewn across Bondi from Ben Buckler…then a small gap along the horizon illuminating the curtain from […]
APPA
Good morning. There’s some little waves around the traps, Bondi was 2 foot and fat. I’d surf it, probably on a fat board though…something wider than 19 inches to be exact. Tomorrow should be bigger but it could be a lil’ junkie with a trailing SE wind and short interval (5 secs). APPA Awards – […]
The Now
A few of my mates think it’s a bit odd that I get up at sunrise every day. Those same mates think the best time of the day is 3am at the White Revolver (yeah you creepy Birdman). 6:30am this morning was a good time of day to be down the beach. The best. It […]
Brrr
Don’t be fooled by the sunny weather – is pretty chilly outside (7) – and it’s only going to get colder as this week progresses. Some arctic air is being pushed up by a low off Tassie…so the first weekend of the ski season should have something to slide on. Down at Bondi it all […]
The Bay of Plenty
Shooting good images on a day like today can be a little tricky. There’s barely any light and most photos turn to a wash of grey. Morning rain isn’t the best shutter lubricant either. Most waves I saw this morning closed out before anyone could get to their feet. Shame, ‘cause there is plenty of […]
Circus comes to town
Bondi makes me laugh… At the first hint of warm weather the summer circus begins. Yesterday the beach was PACKED (with waves). The crowds brought traffic jams, parking rage, spinning rims and doof doof. This morning was no different. At sunrise a stretched hummer full of bikini clad girls pour out for a ‘Hooters’ photo […]
nor-east
The swell has gone nor-east and period dropped. Bondi still has some fun little ones (2 footers), just need to drop anchor whilst waiting in between sets (rips are horrendous – still). Clean’n’offshore right now, brief moment of sunrise glory at 7am before returning to greydom. Max 19 degrees on land, will rain, yes, oh […]
Immaculate
The incredible winter weather continues today. A sun baked morning down at Bondi with rich light and a small, but rideable 2 foot right hander in the middle. Yesterday’s south swell has fallen thru. It wasn’t too bad yesterday on the low tide as hollow mini-pipes slapped against a very shallow bank. Gotta hate school […]
