Ah, Mondays
Ah, Monday. The start of a new week. Alfie’s remnants are making for dark skies, Northerly breezes, and a small limping 2-footer at Bondi. It will be much more significant at beaches oriented to Alfred’s swell machine – anything facing east or north (Bondi faces south). Today and tomorrow should be cloudy with patchy, odd […]
Sublime
What a nice morning to start the week—it was just beautiful down there earlier today. The waves are tiny, and the longboarders are in heaven. The surfaces are glass due to the lack of breeze. The water was exquisite, still warm and inviting (boardies and bikinis are fine for surfing). The sunrise was subtle, pinks […]

It’s a shame, as it was pretty fun surfing at sunrise. This weeks’ surfing forecast looks a little bleak […]
Jam-packed
