With the forecast looking healthy for some ENE swell today and a rumour of some decent banks down at the Bra I rolled down there to take a look. It was OOOkkkk(ish)…waist to chest high, clean and out of the SW wind…but not really worth chasing. 3 out of 10. This grey old day will […]

I’m back in Bondi after a week on the road and was greeted with a good old colourful sunrise. It’s great to see it’s not raining here. Boy…the Gold Coast rained for days making it hard for the Quiky Pro which is currently running the girls. Looks like some swell later in the week should […]

Today’s the last day of the road trip as we approach the Queensland border. A brief interlude with Byron Bay’s Tallow Beach (which was super fun and out of the wind) and the car is packed up and back on the road to Snapper’s Quiky Pro. It’s been a good week with decent waves wherever […]

The best thing about a drive up the coast is that you basically keep driving until you find waves. There are just so many options along the East Coast. Mid-week is also a bonus (and out of Skool Hols) as most beaches are relatively deserted. Yep, the best time of year as its still summer. […]

Howdy…we’re on the road. The Road to the Pro that is…all 844 kilometres of coastal highways from Sydney to Snapper Rocks. I’ve never done this drive in one continuous trip. I’m excited about finding a few waves along the way that fall into the cracks and particularly uncrowded ones (Bondi does get a lil’ hectic). […]
16 secs
Some really good surfing went down at Bondi this morning on our left. I think it’s hard to ride with unpredictable sections and back wash…but fun. The swell period leaps to 16 seconds today. That should bring some power and size (hopefully). Also the winds should calm down and swing more to the SW. That […]
Friday Fix
Nice little setup down there this morning. Clear skies, warm sun and 2 footers. The surf was actually much better than I anticipated. Two distinctive banks were functioning quite well. I was down there for several hours this morning and it looked to be fading as the morning progressed. So I don’t know what would […]
Dead Calm
It’s not often you see the ocean so subdued… It’s the calm before the storm. Today waves barely broke. If they did dribble in they were merely kneecappers or waistline huggers + very, very weak. After 4 days of sunshine and warmer temps a south storm will arrive tomorrow washing out the majority of this […]
Standby
Nice morning. Shame the waves were once again small and weak. Grey dominated the skies and the water surfaces were silky smooth. It doesn’t look like there will be any memorable swells this weekend. Maybe a flap around on the fish or mal. Next week, well, next weeks a different story. Something cooking mid-week. Until […]
