Winter Chill
It’s here. The claws of winter. After a nice stretch of beautiful weather the southerly boomer has dropped land temperatures – maximum of only 20 today. The south storms have also brought swell, 4-6 foot at Bronte this morning… worth a paddle. Few decent rights grinding out the back. Been to the Potato Head Beach […]
Breeze
Funny old week… Most days have been chest to head high (weak), some bigger ones yesterday (4-6). The winds have been up early most days though, puttin’ loads of chop-flop on them faces. Bronte, with its almighty huge chunk of rock at the south end is probably the pick – hiding from the wind. Bondi […]
Fools Gold
Fresh serve of south swell is in town, it’s quite big too – like 4-5 foot, but it just doesn’t seem to want to do it. Bronte kinda had a wobbly right, Bondi was messy and well…not great…I think you need to head to the other side of the bridge, something with loads of southerly […]
hello
In the 1 hour of roaming the beaches of the east I took 4 photos. That’s odd (I normally shoot around 60). Barely anyone surfing the 2 footers on offer, the sky was dark grey and generally another quiet onshore beach day. Bondi was looking horrible with the southerly tearing it apart @ 25 knots […]
the goods
Greetings. I liked what I saw this morning. Plenty of colour in the sky early, the Sculpture by the sea are out and there is a solid 3 foot swell hittin’ town. It’s clean and plenty of waves on offer. This dreamy picture will transform later today, showers predicted tonight and the southerly will blow […]
Boo!
This morning went down a little something like this. The wind woke me up, southerly storm hit overnight and I could see choppy water out the back. I prayed for waves. Light was dancing behind broken morning cloud as I rolled down hill half asleep. I took a few snaps, some mega slow shutters, some […]
Chunks
The swell took a break yesterday but seems to have come back late this morning. It’s going to pick up all afternoon and should hit 6-8 foot later. Big tomorrow morning! Winds are still SW offshore but quite strong (15-20 knots). Most breaks in our neighbourhood again not really surfable. Bondi still closing out, as […]
B e e f y
This solid south swell just keeps on giving. Last night it came in hard – I saw sets at Bondi that must have been 10-12 footers. I am talking one wave closing out the whole bay. At dawn Bronte had a wave…not many out as it’s a lot of paddling to get out. If you […]
Plenty
If you were anywhere near the coastline over the weekend you’d know the swell has been rather large for a few days. Not as many options as I would have liked, Bondi a 1 wave close out from South to North (6-8ft), Tama + Bra a wash through and Bronte had a little sumpin’ that […]
Monsters
The much anticipated spread of south swell goodies has arrived overnight. It has leaped from 2-3 foot to 4-6 foot. It’s from the dead south and its quite solid. The winds are a grooming offshore – strong and freezing. Bondi was a wash through, being super exposed to the south and a beachie (unfortunately that […]
light
Today is the light at the end of a Grey tunnel. After close to 1 week of unsurfable conditions we have offshore winds and 4-6 footers. Bondi was smaller as there is plenty of east in the swell, but neighbouring bays had plenty. At sunrise it looked full and wobbly…but by the time you read […]
EEEs
Hard day to get any decent shots of surfing. The winds are still howling (E), like the past 3 days. Only 2-3 guys out at North Bondi – man they’re keen. It was a junkyard out there. Everywhere else was deserted. The best wave I saw all morning was caught by body surfer, Lee with […]
Washout
My shoot this morning was a complete washout. It’s pouring and the winds are howling. Swell is up though, 4-5 footers and only getting bigger – should be 6-8 foot on dark. Quality is VERY poor, as the wind butchers anything moving. So today we are going to revisit some images from Bronte last week. […]
