It was a hard one shooting down there this morning. Cold, wet and windy. The sunrise provided only a glimmer of hope of better weather today but to no avail. I was going to have a swim with the camera but as soon as someone filled me in on the water temp of 16 degrees I quickly dismissed that idea. The 2/2 short arm isn't cutting the mustard anymore. There's waves but it looks to have lost its punch. The left in the south corner of Bondi is still the pick but there is a few more options developing towards middle.

We are in for a crappy weekend weather wise. Onshore wind howling from the south east stirring up the pond. Make a trip to either Manly or a protected reef break about an 1 hr south. Could be a bit of all right if you land at the right spot.

It's my old mans Birthday today. His name is Ian and is as ocka Aussie as they come. He's well into retirement and loving life travelling overseas – (spending all our inheritance! Haha) His first trip O/S was only last year –  Have a great day Papa Smurf!

Have a look HERE to see what the waves can be like in Japan every now and then. Amazing!

The gallery is open all weekend right next door to the best bread shop in the world "Iggy's" – 145C Macpherson St Bronte

All the best – Brad
