Interminable precipitation
Do you know the best part of Sydney’s raining, erratic weather patterns? Apart from the salt constantly being hosed off your car, we get waves – fun waves! Typically in summer, we have long flat spells where I shoot letterboxes, seagulls and drunk people sleeping on the beach – not 2022. So this year is […]
High Performance
The surf was on so all of Bondi’s finest shredders were up for the early. It was quite a display of high-performance surfing. I was busy today, reos on the rights, airs on the shorey, carves on the lefts. It was a very active lineup with consistent waves around head-high. At dawn I began in […]
Bustling
We’ve had another morning of sunshine, north winds and north swell. Everyone was up early, hitting the beach… it was busy. Walkers, surfers, people carry rocks, boot camps, outdoor gyms, doof doof…a hive of activity in the wee hours. The surf looks much cleaner than in previous days. The water is SUPER CHILLY after the […]
Flare
How’d you go with the super moon, get the shot? Loads of people down at Bondi for it. Heaps. Today: The waves are slowing, but the sunshine is baking. What a beautiful morning down at Bondi. Warm conditions with small waist to chest high waves. Perfect for beginners, groms and frothers with not much work […]
Gravy Train
To be honest, it’s been a fantastic week for surfers in Sydney, and we’re only just getting warmed up. From tomorrow there’s a 4-5 day window of solid east-nor-east swell headed our way – thanks to TC Ana and TC Lucas. That should feed all the beaches in our city with something fun to ride. […]
The lost card…
I’m embarrassed to admit, I lost one of my memory cards from this morning shoot. Somewhere between the beach, skatepark, Bondi Beach Primary there’s a 64 gig SanDisk card floating around with my morning surfing shots. I still have SOME photos from another body, but the main bulk of the morning’s shoot has gone walkies. […]
Summery
Here’s a ‘summery’ of things you need to know about today: The day kicked off a little chilly, but it will beef up to a salubrious 26 degrees today. How do you like those apples? Even better, tomorrow will be another beach day with 28 degrees. Crank the baby oil. We have waves from the […]
Mixed Up Dribbles
There are bits and pieces of waves around the Eastern Suburbs this morning. I can’t say I saw anything of decent quality as I roamed. There seems to be a couple of swells in the mix, and it’s very small. BUT – it’s a cracker day outside and the sun is up VERY early, so […]
Cliff hanger
Gee we’ve had some pretty decent, fun-sized surf lately. Not too big…so our sand banks can hold it…not too small so you can get shacked. Head high mostly. Offshore winds to boot! Friday is going to be a fun one out of town…need a reef facing south. Enjoy the great weather (again). :: uge
Solar Powered
These sunny days just keep comin’. I reckon we’ve had around 100 sunny days this winter (and only 2 or 3 rainy days). Magic isn’t it? The surf was good earlier, but the wind is in now. We’ve been thriving off this small south swell that has been here for 5 or 6 days. Most […]
Amusement
It’s was a frosty one this morning. 5 degrees is what my phone called it. The little breeze off them mountains had bite. Not as breezy at Lenny Kravitz’s pants though. I wanted to enter the water to shoot today…to feel alive. Very invigorating. Some nice left peelers reforming on the inside but the rip […]
Dead Calm
It’s not often you see the ocean so subdued… It’s the calm before the storm. Today waves barely broke. If they did dribble in they were merely kneecappers or waistline huggers + very, very weak. After 4 days of sunshine and warmer temps a south storm will arrive tomorrow washing out the majority of this […]
