Water is still warm - get in! Bondi 7:40am

Hackneyed

A pretty stock standard morning down at Bondi. I’ve seen plenty like this, subtle colours at sunrise, slight onshore, 2-foot waves and a busy beach full of exercise maniacs. After writing approximately 6,000 of these posts, sometimes I get a bit stumped. Today is one of those days! The next time you’ll find waves is […]

Ladies Day

The girls were out in force this morning. Why wouldn’t you be – it’s an incredible day, with ultra-warm water and a magnificent sunrise to boot! Today is the first day of Autumn, and it’s gonna creep up the to early thirties – so if you’re working from home, like most of Australia, take a […]

O’ahu

I never thought I’d say it but the swell has finally subsided here in Hawaii, well, now in the more manageable 4 foot range. The Kona onshores have been threatening, puffing here and there, making good conditions for airs. I’ve never seen so many aerials. The North Shore is based on the island of O’ahu, […]
