The battered corner

Inbound.

I’m back! Back from the Whitsundays and on the tools. Not much phone reception and bad weather up north means you didn’t receive your regular daily dose from Aquabumps. Sorry about that. Small now – bigger later. A south storm has arrived in Sydney, bringing swell, onshores and showers. A good day to pump out […]

Rottnest Island isolation...even on the busy days

WA is OK

I shot one lousy photograph of Bondi this morning. It’s 100% onshore, pouring with rain, and 2-3 foot. Oh, what a mess! A gruesome beach day. Surely you’ve got some work to catch up on; I assume you surfed your brains out on that last swell. Today’s beach inspiration comes from my recent trip to […]

Sometimes writing a short couple of paragraphs about onshore, grey mush can be a little challenging. I don’t think you’d be too keen to head out there for a surf or a swim…the temperatures have dropped and it looks like a wet week ahead. Boo. I am not sure what’s going on over in WA, […]

Today is hosting some of the worst surf conditions I’ve seen in a while. Onshore 1 footers with insistent rain. Can only get better from here…not for a few days though. Sitting in the car park I opted not to shoot any pictures of this ‘Turneresque’ grey landscape – instead here is a little island […]
