Did someone forget to turn off the tap? Oh boy, it’s been wet in New South Wales lately. Trying to polish up these grey, stormy mornings is quite the challenge.

Chilly as well, 25 knots of southerly will do that. Max 18 and low of 14, you’ll feel the coldest you’ve been in quite some time.

Waves? Yeah, 4-5 footers at Bondi, 1 or 2 people out only – which says it all. Surfable, a bit rogue, messy.

Our SurfAid Bondi Cup Fundraising is going well! THANK YOU. We’ve raised $10k of our $20k budget. To those readers that have generously given – you’re the best – I’ll try to get Spike to wash your car or walk your dog. Anything over $50 bucks and you’ll go into the draw to win a $1250 artwork from my gallery. Fundraising ends in a few days; donations this way.

As lovers of the ocean we think this one is worth voting for. Learn why the Great Barrier Reef deserves to become the first non-human recipient of the United Nations Environment Programme’s Lifetime Achievement Award. https://alifetimeofgreatness.com/.

It was so sad to see Bondi retailer Tuchuzy pack up shop this week. Cafe Paris, Hardware, and so many old businesses in our community are having a tough time. Aquabumps is one of the oldest at 26 years old this year! But I will say the recent years have been so tricky to navigate. Support local.
