The summer bird
I rolled down the beach this morning hoping that the inbound south swell had maybe come early. It hadn’t, the rain has set in and I shot 3 very ugly photographs from the front seat of my car. It’s only 1-1.5 foot. I’m not even gonna show you those 3 photos – they’re that bad. […]
Change
It’s transformed into a nice little day outside. At sunrise the skies were dull and grey. By 9am it had cleared up and the nor easterlies are blowin’ with a nice little 2-3 foot wave on offer. The turbo rip is back and that seems to be putting plenty of wobble out there. Still fun […]
lucky
Spend a week in the concrete jungle of Singapore and you really appreciate how lucky we are to live so close to a decent beach – with waves. This morning the NE swell is in Sydney and breaking around 2 foot at Bondi. Looked very weak and flimsy, but rideable if keen (or if been […]
Foggy
Hola. I am not in Sydney at the moment but my spies on the ground tell me there is a NE swell in town, junkie, and getting into Bondi at 2-3 foot. They say it’s ok for a paddle at sunrise in the fog, best to go early before the wind picks up from the […]
Step up
Little bit more bump in the swell today. Say a small man’s foot up on yesterday. The swell charts are calling it a 13 second swell period – wow – it’s probably from all that thumpin’ swell down in Victoria. That all translates to 2 footers, long waits, lacking push and big early morning crowds […]
Basking in the sun
Tough day to do the schlep into town and then sit in that cubicle… no waves but a mighty fine day out there. Magical 25 degrees, and the wind is going to blow 20 knots of NW. Will be still cold in the shade. Be sure to get some outdoor time at some stage. I […]
Mixed bag
We’ve been fed well by this consistent east swell all week. Yep, it’s still here and producing quality waves around the 4 foot mark at exposed beaches. Bondi wasn’t really happening at 2-3 foot and facing the wrong way, but I am sure you’d find something should you go have a good look around. SW […]
