Phone Photos
I’m a gadget geek. Hard core. Must be the part Asian blood running through my veins. Something new – gotta have it. I’ve also been a die-hard iPhone user since inception…well, that was until one of my readers, Joe, swung past the gallery and dropped off a new phone for me to try. He said […]
B-Sides
By the time you read this update I will be on an early flight across the desert to the red dirt and warmer temperatures of Broome, WA. Last week was a good one for shooting pics, well before that big storm hit. Plenty of good light, calm conditions and sunrise colour. Here’s 7 shots that […]
Empty
Wanna surf Bondi on your own amongst 3 footers, read no further and best paddle out now. It’s not incredible as the early morning high tide put plenty of wonk in the faces. But it is all yours. Couple of things to note about this week: – In general, there will be waves breaking all […]
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 […]
Highly Motivated People
Days like these are for the extremely motivated and over enthusiastic. You’d need to be in order to peel yourself out of bed, wax up and paddle out there. 2 keen individuals surfed South Bondi this morning. I can’t say they got epic waves as it’s junkie, again, and onshore with plenty of rain ‘n’ […]
Ghost Town
The conditions are all wrong for us around here…there is plenty of swell, Bondi waves broke around head to head’n’half – but it’s a junkyard. The banks can’t handle the size. I didn’t see a single person surfing from North Bondi to Bronte. That’s sayin’ sumpin’. In fact I reckon I saw 2-3 humans all […]
Downgrade
Today is an in between day. A day that is not a patch on yesterday. The wind was howling early SE and making a mess of exposed beaches. The swell is not big enough to get into protected corners…so it is a good day to do something else. Maybe something indoors as it looks like […]
Flow
The wind has set in and it’s knocking the tops off the 2 footers at Bondi. Really ugly surf conditions down there this morning…definitely give it a miss. I gather most of you slept in as not many people were around. The swell will grow later tonight and stand tall at 6 foot tomorrow, protected […]
filth
I’m not gonna talk about this filthy weather. Not one bit. I will mention that there is a little wave on today. Small, like 2-3 and infrequent, but rideable. Semi-fun. The rip right in the corner threw out the odd wave with some fruit on it. Patience was key. Valentine’s Day is early next week, […]
Pumping
I rolled down this hill this morning and was greeted by Geurbox pulling into a 4 foot Bondi barrel. That’s quite rare for Bondi. It’s cleaned up, winds offshore, sun is out, the swell is still here – oh boy, it’s a really good surf day. Now remember we’re heading into a summer weather pattern, […]
e a s t
We’ve got a full blown east swell which is neglecting Bondi at the moment. You will have to go for a drive to an east facing beach like Maroubra if you want to get wet – even when you get there you’ll only find 2 foot weak waves, but at least it’s sumpin’. Nice weather […]
Morning Bullet Points
It’s a fine morning, small waves, sun and warmth – got it going on. The swell has dropped, been cranking all week – had to end – now 2 foot. A lot of people woke dis morning and went down the beach. Packed. It’s going to be a delightful 22 degrees today (after the fog […]
Spike
A little spike in swell is puttin’ on some 3 footers down at Bondi. Unfortunately the SE wind is still on it creating a bit of bump and wobble. I thought it was going to be much bigger and better than it really is. Boo. Winds will go north later, so that will clean it […]
