G'day Frothers – Sorry for the late report. By now I am certain you know what the waves and weather are up to.
But just in case you don't know here it is – it was another fine morning down at Bondi and as the sun rose over the apartment blocks at North Bondi there was a quick burst of golden light that filled in the bay. It almost felt like summer again but as I hit the sand in a wet wetsuit I was quickly reminded that in fact it wasn't the case. It is barely hitting the 2 ft mark and I feel that high tide is better than low tide.
Enjoy the rest of the afternoon – Brad

I've been actively chasing the sunsets and sunrises of late. It's time for a refresh of images in the Frothers Gallery and nature hasn't disappointed me at all. I've managed to get a couple of keepers in the last few days. Two of which I have included in todays report. Hope you like them! Hmm Hmm – They may just look nice on your wall!
There is lack of action out in the big wet today but the conditions were great. A light puff of NW wind kept things looking silky smooth on the 1 – 2 ft of east swell at Maroubra. It's a long wait in between waves. I got a little bored waiting for waves to shoot so I guess today is best suited to a larger vessel that's for sure.
It looks like we should have a new pulse of swell arriving late Friday early Saturday morning. Time to get your froth on for the weekend folks!
Enjoy the day – Brad 😉

It was a strange feeling to be floating around in the lineup this morning surrounded by only five surfers. That’s right! FIVE!! Another half dozen were surfing the bank down at the middle of the beach and that was it! Australia’s most popular beach seemed to be impersonating some isolated south coast haven!
The waves were only small but clean in the light off shore wind. Some nice little rights were running down the bank, with an occasional fatter left filtering into the channel. The sun was out, blazing in a cloudless sky. Bondi was unusually peaceful and quite the opposite to the usual morning madness.
The Volcom Fiji Pro is back on today in 4-6 foot Cloudbreak. John John Florence, fresh back from an ankle injury sustained at the opening event of the year on the Gold Coast, just scored his 2nd 10 point ride of the contest. Can this kid be stopped? Imagine what he’ll be doing when his ankle is fully better!

In Byron Bay, things tend to slow down…Nothing is frantic like in Sydney at times.
So, here are some fresh shots from yesterday night and this morning, hopefully bringing a bit of the hippie vibe to through your daily email. Peace, love and unity, brothers, sisters and frothers !
The Pass has seen some really clean conditions, which made the line-up over-crowded, especially on a long weekend like this one ! But hey, when you catch one, you usually can keep it for yourself (less drop-ins than in Bondi for suuure !), and you get visits: dolphins often, or turtles, sometimes. Yesterday, I was lucky enough to see both !
This morning, I headed to Tallow Beach, but it wasn't the pick of the day. The only plus would have been to surf next to two humpbacks, hanging around meters behind the peak…
If you need a B&B in Byron Bay, next time you're around, one place only: Burns B&B ! True heaven !
Back to normal life tomorrow.
Cheers,
Franck, loving the Queen right now !

And what a gorgeous start to the day it was. Even though the sun was hiding behind a thick blanket of grey old cloud, the wind was puffing ever so gently out of the NW keeping our little toes warm in bed and on the sand!
Bondi put on a good little combo this morning. A bank down south and a right hander off 2nd ramp. It's fickle though and will depend on the tides. Here you will find waist to chest high waves that are very smackable right now!
There is a fundraising auction event taking place on Facebook for local chap Chance Burns who seriously injured himself earlier in the year. He fractured C4 and C5 vertabrae and good bunch of his mates have got together a whole bunch of cool items to auction on his FB page. So please check it out and contribute any way you can for Chances expensive rehabilitation…. Check it out HERE
Enjoy the weekend!
Brad 😉
