I love listening to the rain sometimes. It’s like a thousand little drummers busting out an endless solo on my side verandah awning. I was lagging in bed this morning, drifting in and out between dreams and reality. I knew there wouldn’t be a sunrise to capture so allowed myself a little recoup for a change, some needed rest after a couple of busy nights at the Fire Station. We always get busy when it’s wet. That’s one reason I don’t like the rain.
We have waves again! It’s around the 3-4ft mark with light northeast winds. Bondi was actually quite fun on the high tide with a few peaks off 2nd ramp and a right behind the reef. I guess in this weather, you could class the water as dirty but strangely, it didn’t smell or look it and that’s always a plus when you are swimming.
Tomorrow is going to be the day for surfing with light westerlies predicted and a kick in the period. The winds go south for Saturday, so maybe a road trip to a spot favouring the southerly would be the call. Otherwise Bronte or The Bra will be your best bet.
I found this little ‘tongue in cheek’ vimeo of WCT surfer and new Bondi resident, Matt Wilkinson, hamming it up with some mates as a rapper. He’s such a character and the few waves he rides, he rips them! Click HERE for a look.
I’ll be back tomorrow, probably with a late report, depending on where I end up shooting.
Cheers
Billy
