Storms

Well…this storm currently lashing Sydney has plenty to it, doesn’t it? It’s been raining a lot lately with gale force winds. These storms are fruitless for surfers…the wind is just too strong and few surf spots are protected enough. Today is a great day to collect brownie points and get some work done. Should you […]

Hotcakes

There’s waves today. Come get ’em before they fade away into this week. The sand banks around Bondi aren’t too flash but there is the odd 4 footer worth catching. The swell origin is dead south. Bondi loves that direction. Clean conditions with offshore winds – bonus. I don’t really have much else to write […]

Wet

I certainly hope you got a few waves over the weekend with the big storm swell in town. It wasn’t really appealing around our neck of the woods, but I hear north side was the place to be, out of the wind and all… Today the swell is dropping, fast. It’s currently waist to head […]

I could get used to this beautiful winter weather. It’s gold. When I was slipping on that wet wetsuit (the worst) before sunrise I kept on telling myself it’s going to be warm in..gonna be warm in…gonna be nice down there…real nice…just get down there… It was… Should hit 21 degrees today. Waves are from […]

They say boring people talk about the weather…like it’s a nervous thing to make small talk when in elevators, queuing for the bus or grabbing a coffee. I must be very boring, I talk about the weather every day. Lately I’ve been talking about the weather more than usual – as it’s been pretty ah-mazing. […]

Water People

I had a really good time shooting these ten photos down at Bondi Beach this morning. I hope it shows. The water was immaculate, warm and clear. The sun was out baking without a cloud of hindrance in the sky. Wind – there was none. Waves – none of those either. Well I guess I […]

Good times

If you find any swell, let me know. Rarely do I say this, but Bondi was unsurfable today. Pretty much flat with a shorey slappin’ on the beach. To make up for the loss of swell the sunrise was good. Nice clear skies, no fog or early cloud smothering the sun. Can you feel it? […]

Stunner

Just like I said yesterday, it’s a good week. Autumn turns on for another day. Sunny, hot, glassy morning…little left throwing some lip in the corner and 10,000 humans up enjoying it. Why can’t it be like this every day? Go surf, it’s an east swell, decent and around head high. The mercury will get […]

Gusty

It’s fair to say when windsurfers are doing loops out the back of Bondi in 15-20 knot gusts that the surf conditions probably aren’t ideal. Ok, it’s horrible today. Onshore, mush, slush, mixed in with skanky rain water runoff. Kinda cold and still raining – completely the opposite to W.A which is experiencing 37 degree […]
