Only the ladies seemed willing to venture out there this morning – too cold and sharky for the boys!
They’re called the Bondi Surf Sisters, and they meet every Wednesday for a sunrise surf. Tough bunch.
The waves are small, around 1–2 feet. There’s still a little pulse, but nothing particularly bueno cooking. Tomorrow should bring more energy with a renewed south swell. Bondi could be head-high by tomorrow arvo and clean under offshore winds.
The water is still surprisingly warm at around 18 degrees, when it’s normally closer to 16–17 at this time of year. But that wind…wow, she’s got some chill. Getting out and crossing the beach was frosty!
Nonetheless, a sunrise swim always invigorates you for the day. I swam with a wide-angle rig this morning, something I haven’t done in ages. Here’s what I saw out there…
On another note, after years of people asking for black frames in our gallery, we’ve finally done exactly that – right across the range!
Yes, black frames matter. They look fully epic on black-and-white and arty pics, me reckons. Check out our new front window if you don’t believe me!
Adios, ~Ugios
We watch Bondi Rescue nightly here in Invercargill and saw you on an episode this evening.

Ah, that’ was a while ago!
