Blotto @ Rotto
My fascination for the ocean begun in Perth, it’s where I was born. Rottnest Island is an island just offshore from Perth. It’s actually the main reason why Perth city doesn’t have great waves as it acts as a swell barrier for the city. This is why you need to drive down south (Margs) or […]
Rotto
G’day from W.A.! The mining boom might be over, and sleepy old Perth has quietened down, but the place still blows my mind for raw beauty. I was born here…but spent most of my life on the East Coast. I haven’t returned home for many, many years, so I went and checked out some of […]
Backwash
Howdy. We’ve currently got a mini-north windswell breaking with north winds best at north facing beaches. Bondi did have a little fun one on the incoming tide, but low tide will ruin that. It’s not amazing, very weak (1-2 ft) – but they say it should get bigger later tonight. Now that’s good to hear. […]
Arrival
It’s here…the soothing cool southerly dropping the temps and bringing the swell. Bondi loves the southerly. Waves were breaking 4-5 foot and of course it was maxed out – many folding into closeouts. Perhaps when the winds kick to the north in the afternoon it will shape up. Only 3 people out. Luke, Paul + […]
Intermission
Yesterday and Tuesday this week were incredible days to be a surfer in Sydney. Everyone has stories of scoring gold. Well, the epic SE swell has died from yesterday… and we’ve only had a few hour gap before a brand spankin’ new south swell has arrived. Wish I had a time lapse series from this […]
Devil Wind
The forecasted swell increase has greeted us, but so has the southerly… South Bondi was a junkie 3 foot. Long waits between decent sets. Not very inviting as the rain has set in and you’ve probably got something more pressing to do. The great news is that today’s junkie windswell will eventuate into a groundswell […]
Curvature
I was hoping this rogue swell would settle and line up better by now…which is has to some extent…but not enough. Most beaches around the Eastern Suburbs are still hard work with a large wobbly swell hitting. Bondi was large – 4-6 footers, mostly closing out. Bronte was fat and breaking right out the back […]
The Goo
You’ve gotta love Bali. It just seems to have everything; waves, nightlife, warm water, incredible accommodation, friendly locals and all for a decent price. The waves have been pretty flat lately, but a recent swell spike fired up the Goo (4-5 foot sets). Big crowds in the water from all over the globe. (there is […]
