It was like the whole landscape was grey this morning, like a natural black and white.
There is swell. But there is also a devil wind with strong gusts and at times heavy rain. There is also some gloomy looking clouds out there and only 5 surfers were brave enough to get into their cold and water logged wetsuits thanks to last nights heavy down pour. I only saw one wave being ridden. Choppy and mushy as.
This weather was challenging enough to make my shooting a nightmare. Cameras and lenses hate the rain, and between 6:45 and 7:30, there was a lot of rain – so much so that the horizon line completely vanished.
However, this weather did not discourage the runners. It looked like everyone is trying to beat their records in the City-to-Surf. I know I am.
As Brad said yesterday, the other end of the week should be much better surf wise. So, if you didn't manage to wake up to check the surf this morning, no regret!
Bill has posted a bunch of surf shots from last Wednesday at Bronte. It was smoking! Selfie's prints are only $30 so it's worth while having a look if you were out there.
Have a good (rainy) day. It's winter, after all…
