Pretty | Ugly
It’s Monday and an ugly beach day, after a very pretty beach weekend. Why so happy? Because there’s water falling from the sky! And a fair bit of it! Yes, we have rain. Patchy it may be, but I’ve never been so damn excited to see rain. This week we have more coming…just hope it […]
Lightless
It was a dark cold morning. I found myself kicking around waiting for some the light. We’ve now past the winter solstice (June 21) so the days will get longer slightly from here. Hooray. There are waves around, head high on sets. The offshores are grooming and making for good conditions. It’s pretty darn cold […]

This morning it has run out of gas and currently 2 foot (ish) around the corner (with 1 freak set pictured that broke above head high). Bondi was struggling to produce anything worth riding (protected from […]

bumped
The swell has bumped up a tad from yesterday. It’s still not really a surfable size, but hopefully later on today it will get bigger (well that’s what the charts indicate). Dead still this morning around 7am, occasional shower…not much on the swell radar for the week – other than later today. Winds will pick […]
