Good Times
So glassy, so smooth, so good to see a few waves down at Bondi this morning! I think the good times will be short-lived as an onshore wind is about to blow. I saw some tasty rights in the corner – bit of junk on it…but well worth the paddle. I’d hit it now before […]

Everyone has caught wind of yesterday’s pumping waves and hit the beach this morning. Unfortunately it’s dropped off quite a lot. There’s chest high waves in the area, it’s just pretty fat with the 5am high tide. A dropping tide may reveal something more interesting. Being in the water was pretty special regardless. I’ve been […]

The beach didn’t look very appealing this morning. It won’t stop raining. That pushed me inland to shoot odd things around Bondi. The water is full of storm water gunk and the weed has taken over. There was a little righthander amongst all this…but I wouldn’t ditch work for it. ENE swell all weekend, 3 […]

It’s much nicer down the beach since the rain stopped. There are waves, 3-4 footers, but they’re pretty random and a tad messy. It’s mainly a windswell with a 7 second wave period. Tomorrow will be better… It’s scary to think that Christmas is only 5 weeks away. How about that…where did this year go? […]

Today we enter into Spring. True. I know most of you probably feel like that happened a few months ago. But it is here now, and looking real pretty. Today is a cracker. Go outside. Bask. Surf – nope. Still nothing. Later this week you will see some swell, but most days of this week […]

Not a spare seat in the house down at Bondi this morning. It was that comfortable combo of tiny waves and sunshine that attracted a lot of rookies. Great day to learn. The water temperature even bumped up slightly. The wind is coming though, 25 knots of NE will shake it up a little and […]

I could get used to this beautiful winter weather. It’s gold. When I was slipping on that wet wetsuit (the worst) before sunrise I kept on telling myself it’s going to be warm in..gonna be warm in…gonna be nice down there…real nice…just get down there… It was… Should hit 21 degrees today. Waves are from […]

They say boring people talk about the weather…like it’s a nervous thing to make small talk when in elevators, queuing for the bus or grabbing a coffee. I must be very boring, I talk about the weather every day. Lately I’ve been talking about the weather more than usual – as it’s been pretty ah-mazing. […]

Did you see the sunrise on Saturday down at Bondi? Wow. One of those special ones where the right ingredients all came together and the sky was a blaze. Bondi is at its best when it’s not perfect, overcast, random and when it’s a Monday. At first glance it looks pretty average surfwise this morning. […]

Howdy. Some really fun waves down at Bondi this morning. It’s killing me being inside now… Yesterday we were blessed with some of the best waves I’ve seen in ages. Nice surprise swell wasn’t it? So today you’ve all filled your wave quotas and keen to watch some Quiky pro action which is about to […]

Ok, now that’s 3 really nice mornings in a row and everyone is onto it. It was PACKED this morning…not just surfers/swimmers…more water photographers than Pipe! The waves were waist high but around 7:30am I witnessed a small pulse, which threw in a few nice waves at South Bondi. I just rode the pushy pass […]

I could live off a healthy diet of good light any day. Love tubes, clear water, rare moments…but in good, warm, rich morning light you can make the mundane come alive. This morning hosted the best light I’ve ever seen. Ok, at least the best light I’ve seen in weeks. The sky light up around […]

When I arrived down the beach this morning it was really dark. Clouds smothered the light and the water was a creepy fluoro green, a colour you’ll see after recent rain and manky run off from the drain. Might change the colour of your hair overnight. People pay good money for that. The waves were […]
