North Bondi 8am Summer is here and the DJs are out @seafollyaustralia

It’s official…

YASSS, it’s officially the first day of summer! The warmer months are here, the DJs are spinning tunes from Kombi roofs, and everyone’s getting excited. Bondi surf was doable but not that exciting. Mushy, junkie, small (2ft), and lower tides weren’t helping. Groms loved it, though. We’ve extended our ridiculous cyber offer (until we run […]

A great week to photograph, today's pinks still going from Tonga's Volcanic Dust

25 IN – 25 OUT

The Tongan volcanic dust seems to be still illuminating our skies into shades of pink before the sun rises. It’s got such a nice glow to it at the moment. Wasn’t it meant to be raining? Things change – for the good as today’s another cracker to complete a week of crackers. In the water […]

Getting lip, Bondi

Hump Day

Geez, it was nice down the beach this morning. Real purdy. The smoke had cleared a bit. The lack of wind created a nice, glassy surface. The swell has dropped a gear and 2 footers were pulsing into Bondi from the South. Crowds – yep, warm water and sunshine bring them out but it was […]

Thousands of humans powered into Bondi… even the cafes that are usually empty were full! Today I swam my regular south corner at sunrise and waves broke […]

The flipside, Bondi sunrise 6:30am

Golden Hues

When it’s hot I don’t sleep much. Rolling down the beach at 6 am I don’t think many of you sleep either. Bondi was alive this morning with people going mad on exercise, swimming, surfing, SUPing, fishing…it’s on. Did I say surfing? To clarify, it’s tiny…and the banks remain dysfunctional. The Bulldozers are powering all […]

Glamour

It’s one of those glorious, A Class Sydney beach days. It’s not too hot (27) and there’s a gentle onshore breeze to keep you cool. The beach is busy but not rammed. At sunrise the surf was really good. Head high, clean with early SW winds. Only a handful of lucky ones on it. It’s […]

Daily Distractor

Sittin’ behind the office desk this week would have been very distracting with all that is going on outside. Not only is the weather 10 out of 10, but the waves have been pumping. Today it looks like that solid East swell, that has been here all week, is finally subsiding. I found 2 footers […]
