Glass Half Full
On my morning wanderings I talk to all kinds of people. Some people are just getting home from the night before, some are up early embracing the day. This morning another touring photographer came up for a chat…his opener “Heard Bondi was good to shoot at sunrise…not much happening today aye…Gold Coast is so much […]
Hello
Well…HELLO swell! Oh boy there’s some fine looking waves today. Real pretty ones. The winds are offshore and grooming nicely. The swell is from the South and waves breaking @ 3ft. Once again the sun is out but it’s chilly in the shade. Rubber up. These are the dayz… :: oogie
Rebound
Well…the swell has bounced back from flat to 3 foot overnight – and everyone is into it! All manner of craft took to the water and scrapped for a wave. It was crazy this morning. See what happens when we’re deprived of waves for a few days? Today’s another amazing day. Sun, warm, waves – […]
Peaks
Nice surfing conditions down at Bondi Beach this morning. The huge crowd tells me you already knew that…right? Bondi loves a good 3-4 foot South swell. Got some dreamy little banks too. Unfortunately if you missed the morning session it’s all over – the southerly is now in and blowing 16 knots. It’s a junk […]
Soggy Shoes
Bondi used to be one huge sand dune in the 1800’s. The mega dune used to extend from the beach all the way back to Rose Bay. Check out this photograph in 1875 if you don’t believe me. Well…over the past 48 hours nature has been trying to return Bondi to it’s original condition. The […]
Chunx
So many places would be lighting up today…most of them are a minimum 3-4 hours drive away from here. Every time I book a day of meetings you can be assured 6 foot pumping south swell! Yes give me a tissue… If you’re reading this you really should get outside and go for a drive […]
Epic
Every morning I peer through my blinds hoping that just the right amount of cloud will be in the correct position to light up above Bondi. Today it was on. Amazing colours to greet this fine day. Still after 16 years of Bondi sunrises I get stoked to wake up to this! Even though the […]
Friday Fling
The winds were howling onshore this morning and making a BIG mess. Bondi had a few rideable waves around waist to chest high…and when I say rideable…I’m being a little loose with my terminology. At least the storms have blown over revealing some decent sunshine. How crazy was that hail storm yesterday? Mental. Came out […]
Burgers
The swell has come up overnight but it’s fat. Porky bits everywhere. Lots of flappin’. You’ll find a wave around head high today and the winds are perfectly offshore (chilly too). The tide is on the way out so hopefully it will improve as the day progresses. (Low tide 9:35am) Even though it’s a sunny […]
Mid-Range
The swell has come up slightly and the clouds have returned. Sporadic rain and warmer temps is what you’ll get for most of today. In fact, it’s going to be 25 degrees – which is very comfortable. Tomorrow should have a few fun waves also. (head high) We have a vacant weekend sales position in […]
Get Wet
After a few weeks of stormy mornings it’s great to see sun and clean waves. Been a while. Bondi had a little peak with some decent rights. It’s from the ESE swell so plenty of options today. Anything with East swell will feed into the many bays of Sydney. It’s offshore…hit it. The weather will […]
Junkyard
I think we are all a lil’ over the rain. Maaaan it’s been stormy lately. The ocean is still agitated. Rogue double head high bombs broke at Bondi in a random fashion. It’s barely surfable. Pro surfers Teale Vanner and Chris Friend had a crack – but if they’re not finding joy – I’d say […]
Erratic
Things have calmed down along our coast and we have some manageable waves at Bondi. It’s still pretty agitated. It rained on me around 5 times in the 1 hour period I was shooting – so the weather still has room for improvement. Gee the garden is getting a good watering at the moment and […]
