Pre-blow
It might be cold out, but it’s very warm in. You should get wet. The swell has come to the party, and we now have waves around head high. Winds are SW, that’s offshore – which is great. But I reckon by the time you read this email it will swing around to the SSE […]
Furnace
Embrace the heat! It’s glorious, it’s a fat 37 right now and it’s all about to change soon. Very soon. Whilst you’re sweating, think of all the good stuff this heat brings: Your garden is thriving especially your tropical plants. Our gallery garden is turning into a mini-Amazon, gonna take over the street. A great […]
Away
Yes…still away from Bondi. After documenting the same beach for 17 years it’s pretty important to get out on the open road. Australia is blessed with countless idyllic beaches where the sand is white and the oceans are crystal clear. Lucky, aren’t we? Surfers – should be a trickle of small south swell all week, […]
Change
We’re on the brink of change as strong winds and swell are predicted. It was 1 foot and cold down the beach this morning. Should be 6 footers tomorrow and howling winds. Log riders were out enjoying a solo peak in the middle. Water is decently warm, but, that dash home in the wind chill […]
Sunny Life
The swell has dropped out whilst the water temp. soars. It’s like a bath. Perfect conditions for your morning swim. The mercury will also chug up to 27 today and 31 tomorrow – toot toot! Enjoy your summer flash back. On 29th May in Sydney and Melbourne the ‘WALK of HOPE‘ is going down. It’s […]
Soak
I coulda swam for hours this morning. I know I keep banging on about how nice the water is – but it’s really sumpin special. So warm! In the past few years I’ve been in Hawaii at this time of year…so I guess I’m really enjoying being at home in these choice conditions. Waves – […]
Bath Time
If you don’t go for a swim in the ocean today – you are really missing out. The water is an incredible 25 degrees in Sydney today. It’s amazing. I coulda stayed out there for hours this morning. It’s like a bath. No rubber required. Waves – tiny. Sun – on turbo. Everyone is pretty […]
Dripping
Good afternoon. Sorry about the late post, I did shoot at sunrise in the frosty winds. Cold wasn’t it? Bondi had a little wave, 1-2 foot at 7am. With an inbound swell it’s growing by the minute. Right now it’s 3 foot. The next 5 days is going to be perfect for around here. Small […]
Magic
If I could, I’d spend all day down there. It’s warmer down there, underneath the waves. No mobile phones, no inboxes…nice and quiet. Just hanging with the sting rays. Perfect! The water was really clear and the waves tiny. Swimming for an hour or so sets you up for the day. I feel great. Very […]
Emerge
I’m not sure how much longer the water can remain warm and clear…but I’m loving it. Can’t get ‘nuf of it. After a long night of kids screaming nothing beats hanging down under the waves, where it’s all quiet. If only I could hold my breath for hours! The waves look OK too…waist to shoulder […]
Friday Mania
Fridays sure are busy down at Bondi. With the incoming tide a little wave pulsed around 8am – but it was short-lived. It’s only 1-2 foot now and fading into the high tide. The great news is that there is a strong south swell heading our way. Sunday will start off small but grow during […]
Under
It’s hard to believe that Bondi is only 8 kilometres from a major city and has such clear water (sometimes). Definitely not all the time. This is the same beach that was famous for an untreated sewage outlet which was closed in the mid-1990s. Can you believe that? Well…today Bondi’s got her best duds on…crystal, […]
Precipitated
Gosh it hasn’t stopped raining today…need this rain to head north into the drought areas of Western Queensland. ‘Nuf already! For the first time in years I slept in until a whopping 8:30am. Why? I knew it would be real ugly down the beach. Small waves in the rain with plenty of skanky wash off […]
