Rogue Burgers 15th December 2008

The amazing thing about living in Sydney is how close you can actually get to big waves. Today the swell is up, waves at Bondi thundering across the bay around 8 foot…mean while you can sit poolside and have a coffee at Crabbe hole (Icebergs) just metres away and check the sets.

Last night Bondi was surfable in the south end, not this morning as the wind seemed to have messed things up early. A couple of hell men taming rogue Ben Buckler – but nothing that decent.

The Box and Kobi Graham tow’ed fatty Bronte bombs – but the tide was too high.

So we have swell, plenty of supply, just need it to all calm down a little and clean up.
Winds: S/SW 18/23 kts tending S/SE 13/18 kts in the afternoon, then 8/13 kts in the evening.
Tides: 10.58 am high, 5.45 pm low tide

    Is the Outdoor Massage Free if you just hang out in the impact zone for a few sets?

    Somehow this convo seemed worth sharing! Nice pics

    …RE: amazing shot from yesterday (image No.9815):

    …Yeah, I knew which one as soon as I saw it…it really is amazing! That ancient dialogue of the power of the land vs the power of the sea…of the solidarity of rock vs the fluidity of water is totally captured in this moment…equally powerful yet totally different in their nature!

    …Yes, nice how you describe it.
