It was an all-star cast down at a local Sydney reef. Aren’t our best surfers meant to be in Fiji soon? Mick Fanning, Owen Wright, Bede Durbidge, Blake Thornton, Pama Davies, Phil Macca, Julian Wilson are all out enjoying this incredible day. Look outside…gentle offshores and a growing 4-5 foot south swell. Bingo! ::uge

This morning I swam with my camera for about 3 hours with 3 very talented surfers in some decent waves. Julian Wilson, Sam Mac and Blake Thornton charged a rare wedgey peak from sunrise…oh boy…what a day, unshackle from the desk for an hour or so and enjoy. I will let the images do all […]

Today is a lay day at the Quiky Pro so the Snapper Rocks bar will be packed. They’ve been busy up there running 4 days in a row so they’re going to sit and wait for better surf conditions. They’ve got time up their sleeve now. Yesterday afternoon was heating up at The Pro…Joel Parkinson […]

Heeeyaa. The surf was rubbish this morning. Robin reckons there is a left in the corner, but I couldn’t see it with all the junk and chop. Slight onshore conditions this morning which will kick around to ENE today, may get cleaner, but there is no guts to this swell – weak as…lots of flappin’. […]

The swell has pulled back a gear, and is supposed to kick back up later today. A good day to do some work and keep warm’n’dry. Max 16 degrees today, winds: S/SW 10/15 kts […]

There was a 3 foot set out the back of South Bondi earlier this morning. The massive 1.85m high tide(8:30am) put plenty of fat into this SE swell. You’d need to wait until the tide drops (low 3pm). Winds are a unfavourable EAST (10-15 knots) – which pretty much gets into everywhere. All in all, […]

Repeat

Just like yesterday the waves continue to pump into Sydney. Smidge smaller today and quite a bit wonkier. 4-5 foot. That howling westerlie continues to blow offshore and snap freeze anything in its path – damn it was cold down the beach this morning. This week we’ve got waves every day and dropping for the […]
