Different morning down at Bondi today. No waves.
Zip. Barely anyone in the water…no swimmers doing laps of the
bay, very few shore paddlers. What’s up?
Well we had a special guest last
night at Bondi – not Rasta, not Taj… just a large shark around
the south headland at 6pm. The shark faffed about, headed into Mackenzie’s
Bay, had a sniff around before being disturbed by a brave Anthony
Carroll on the beachies jetski. Around 50 onlookers from
the cliff witnessed the special visit…thanks to Dan Matthewson
for snapping a few shots for the bumps.
Rod Kerr has been a lifeguard down
at Bondi for ten years. Rod reckons it’s the biggest he’s seen in
Bondi for a decade …calling it around 12 foot…Bronzer
or Tiger. It’s said the attraction was a spearfish man
burleying up off the south headland. No one hurt…the big fish
headed back out to sea in search for a snack. The beachies evacuated
the beaches nonetheless…
Surf Forecast:: The next time we’ll get surf in Sydney
– Friday/Saturday small but surfable. Forget it until then me thinks
and just enjoy the steamy weather.
The Samsung Australian Surf Film Festival
hits Cronulla tonight at the Sharkies 7pm. More
