Bloom

I’ve taken a lot of photos today. Around 4 hours’ worth. Guess that says it’s a good day, good light, good weather, good little waves and a salubrious water temp. The swell has backed off again, and is only 2 to 2.5 foot now. Not much wind so everything is neat and glassy. Lots of […]

waves

Mornin’. As forecasted a fresh serve of East swell has arrived into Sydney. She’s a bit wobbly but still fun. Bondi had consistent 3 footers and seemed relatively clean. Finally the persistent onshores have subsided. The water is super warm…don’t really need a wetsuit. Wave Garden You guys gotta see this…it’s called the Wave Garden. […]

reprieve

What a difference 24hrs can make. We’ve gone from Lake Bondi flatness to 3-4 foot pumps in 1 day – hooray! Finally something to wet your appetite…it’s not perfect, bit fat, could be bigger, but in comparison to recent times – gold! So many south facing beaches would have a little wave today…if you’re already […]

Red – eye

Before you hit reply on this daily email and demand I re-send the correct sunrise images from this morning – well, I don’t have ’em. I was circling Sydney airport when the sky blew up into strong hues…so I could only watch on, without a black shutter obstructing my view. Many say it was one […]

:: Transition

I won’t lie, trying to come up with something (interesting) to write about every morning can be hard. It’s even harder when there are no waves and the past few days have been very similar. So I spin my pen, get distracted by Facebook, go for another coffee at Gusto (3rd) or stir up my […]

illusion

When you haven’t seen waves in a while anything looks good. Anything. Well, after last night’s southerly change we’ve got some wind waves today… I even saw a set break above head high. Yes! And I am no midget even though I’m of Asian descent. It’s on shore, it’s bumpy, it’s wet and it’s slippery…but […]

Extinguish

The overnight south change has put out the fire of yesterday’s soaring temperatures (thankfully). How about that heat yesterday. Madness. Cooking. Like standing in an oven. There would have been a whole lotta sweaty, thirsty, frocked up Melbourne cup punters with massive-dehydrated hangovers today. Drink water. Plenty. With the cooling south change came wind and […]

Cumulus Maximus

Hola! Quite an impressive morning – hope you got down there. It all began with a decent sunrise for the insomniacs….and then the clouds morphed into buckled patterns (good lens fodder)… then small 2 footers chugged into the corner…oh, and the water temps bumped up a tad making the boardie session an option. Go outside […]

corner peaks

There is a little wave in the southern corner of Bondi this morning (2 foot, odd one slightly larger). The south swell has dropped after a pretty decent session on dark last night. Winds have started to blow 15 knots from the NE and the clouds will increase their presence. Tomorrow a new NE swell […]
