Greetings.

The Bad News - Kinda ugly morning with thick overcast skies and nuisance onshore winds destroying the quality small waves of yesterday. Boondye had a few waist to shoulder high waves rockin’ in, mostly messy but still surfable for the frothas. No light this morning - hence the slow shutter flys and black + whites. High tide is at 11:26, 18:03 low tide, water is still warm 23 with a much cooler day of 24 degrees on the land.

The Good News - These onshore winds are whipping up some swell. Thursday (may be still onshore with east winds)/Friday (North winds - yay) and Saturday (North winds yay) look like there is some fun to be had.

There are some great exhibitions around town at the moment:
Magicians of the Sea 13 Jan to 25 Jan - Australia Centre for Photography, 257 Oxford Street Paddington NSW, 02 9332 1455. This exhibition curated by Pierre Chevalier features images from BOB COOPER, ALBERT FALZON, GEORGE GREENOUGH, DICK HOOLE, ANDREW KIDMAN, BILL PFEIFER, SCOTT REDFORD, MONTY WEBBER, JOHN WITZIG.

Surfing Heritage - black white - 17th Jan - 29th Jan, Bondi Pavilion Gallery. Steve Cooney’s collection of 35 mm black and white photos were taken during the 70s. Mostly unpublished, they concentrate on surfing industry or surfing lifestyle characters from an era when documentation of the sport was minimal.
Also included in this exhibition will be a personal selection of photographs from renowned surf photographer, Jon Frank.
