These very good looking mornings are becoming the standard, the expected. Day after day I roll down the beach and it’s really quite something special. We are being spoilt. No wind, amazing sunrises and clear skies. It’s going to hit a whopping 24 degrees today. That’s pretty crazy for this time of year. The swell […]

Today is like yesterday, just smaller. Bondi was rarely breaking this morning. A little shorey slapping on the beach…ok, a mal wave every 10-20 mins. It was a really nice morning down there. Still, warm(ish) and crisp. Nothing like a morning swim to set you up for the rest of the day. Can you believe […]

Did you see the sunrise on Saturday down at Bondi? Wow. One of those special ones where the right ingredients all came together and the sky was a blaze. Bondi is at its best when it’s not perfect, overcast, random and when it’s a Monday. At first glance it looks pretty average surfwise this morning. […]
BONDEYE
You’ve got to be pretty happy with this week so far… There’s been something to ride most days…and more coming. Weather has been rather pleasant as well. Today I took photographs (note, not captures, I hate when people call photos captures) down at good ole Bondeye. The swell has swung around to the South so […]

That ‘booming’ new ENE swell still hasn’t arrived properly…yet. It’s coming though. With the majority of the swell energy neglecting south facing Bondi I woke early to cross the ditch to Manly Town. Manly faces NE drawing in every bit of this swell direction. Waves broke around head high but with an incoming tide was […]
Day 5
Day 5 of no swell. It’s coming though. Tomorrow you should be able to dust off the board and catch a few – but it is going to be real fun on Sunday afternoon and Monday. The weather is just perfect. Not too hot, not too cool…just right. The water is retaining its bath temps […]

I think a rainy grey cloud followed me around all morning. Sunshine persevered everywhere I wasn’t. Bondi has returned to the quiet country town after a full on long weekend. The shops are empty…the cafe baristas are staring aimlessly out the window and a few showers scared most beach goers off this morning. Bondi has […]

Yo. I have to say we’ve had a decent run of small swells the past 3 weeks. Today I found shoulder to head high wind swells breaking at Bondi. It actually looked like fun…Not a patch on our famous left of last week, which has now been downgraded as the sand moved to the rocks. […]
Flimsyville
Hi. It’s another nice morning. Kinda freaky with warmer temps as the wind blows from the North, which is uncharacteristic of this time of year. The flimsy ENE swell is still here in town, but its weak and on the decline. I saw ‘waves’ at Bronte around waist high and Bondi has something dribbling in […]
Some dayz
Some days it’s quite hard to come up with 7 entertaining images for this blog. Today is one of THOSE days. There was no sunrise this morning as clouds’n’rain smothered the 1st light. Intermittent rain can also make it tricky to shoot – it pays to have the sanctuary of your car close by. The […]
Pines
Mornin’. In our recent survey one of our learnings is that a large portion of you live over the northern beaches. Try get over there a bit more. Today comes to you from Manly, the land of the tall pines. Always a good place to hide from the shredding southerlies which are currently blowing tumbleweed […]

Not much doing down the beach this morning. Well, pretty much carbon copy of yesterday. Clear spring skies, a floppy bump breaking on 2 shallow sand banks. Hand full of mal riders dominating the peak. Sets got up past your waistline, 1 or 2 even up to your chest, but they were quite infrequent. Seeing […]
