Sans Sand
A beach without sand (sans sand) is Clovelly Beach! Clovelly is a narrow bay situated North of Coogee. It was actually called Little Coogee until 1913. During The Great Depression, Randwick Council filled it up with concrete to make it more accessible for swimmers – and – provide work for the unemployed in dire economic times. If […]
Morning Salt
Good morning. It really was a good morning down the beach, earlier, but cloudy now. A small shorey had some pockets on it – I’d surf it – but there was a big crowd up early. Yesterdays shortlived 3-4 footers have faded, as we wait for the next swell – due tonight. (yes, bonus!) My mate […]
Sky Cracks
After our brief intermission with wintery conditions, we’re back on track with a warm summery morning. It’s still a bit onshore and a tad junkie, but the shorey had some fun punchy little wedges around shoulder high. Uncrowded as well. Today I’m heading to Teahupoo as a small swell is about to hit there. No, […]
Offshore
It’s offshore and the crowd goes wild! Everyone has hit the beach this morning to get involved. I drove past most of the beaches in the East, and there was a pack of wolves, hunting the morning swells. I hope you got some. Summary – it’s 3-4 foot, swell direction is ESE so plenty of […]
S o u t h y
The swell has gone south and so has the wind. Let’s hope this change will bring warmer water – as it has been pretty nippy (Yesterday it dropped to 17 degrees with those northerly winds). The waves are average. It’s now onshore but it was waist to chest high this morning down at Bondi and […]
Hit’n’Miss
These 4 foot swells don’t hang around long at the moment. Friday was big, Saturday was small (but fun), Sunday was big and now today is tiny. Waves are breaking around your knee caps to belt line. But that’s about it. Of course it’s clear skies, sunny and 28 today. Just like every day. Small […]
Sauna
So…I bet you didn’t sleep last night in 40 degrees. Not unless you had air cond. You tossed and turned all night and feeling a little cranky at work today. I know the feeling. Have a double espresso. Knock yourself out. Today is a new day. The cooling southerly has taken over and the waves […]
The Kombi and Me
I reckon I’m turning into an insomniac after shooting at sunrise for over 13 years. 4:50am I was up today, waiting for some light down the beach. Didn’t really know what to do with myself…the sunrise was a bit of a fizzer and 20 knots of onshore made sure there were no waves. Well, no […]
Dawn Dip
There was a little right hand wave in the middle of Bondi. Packed and a little dangerous but fun. The bank looks good. Was a pleasure going for a dawn dip…water is clear and decent temp (rubber still required). Southerly is gonna blow 20 knots this arvo whipping up a bit of swell for the […]
The colours of Bondi
The swell has finally swung south and Bondi is squeezing the most of a micro swell. You could catch frosty 2 footers this morning…with just you and 3 mates out along the whole beach… the extra low tide and lack of sand bank formations pushed many waves into closeouts. High tide 2pm, low tide 7:38am. […]
