Sloppy chops is the ocean right now and you won’t find much shelter anywhere along this wind blown coast while this horrid ESE wind blowing.

It was bleak and grey on my walk down to Tamarama early this morning. Four very keen surfers were out in the lineup, trying their hardest to get some kind of a ride out of the messy 3 foot lumps that were meandering unevenly into the shore. The sun actually broke through the bleak, grey sky for a while, lighting the beach and sky in crimson and gold. That my friends, was definitely the highlight of the morning!

I didn’t see any bluebottles but the shore is covered in thousands of tiny, pubescent ones. Those little blue discs that haven’t inflated yet or grown tentacles. In my younger years we always called them ‘hats or boats’. I am not even sure if they are baby bluebottles but I can’t see them being anything else. At least they don’t sting!

A little mix of shots today. A couple from Bondi last night, one of Pipeline legend – Gerry Lopez having an SUP at Oz Stand Up Paddle down at Rose Bay yesterday and the rest of Tama this morning.

Have a good one!
