I know that this bad weather is almost over…but 3 days of wind/rain/clouds in a 90 days long Summer is already too long to my taste ! Do you agree ? I even had to put the heater on, in the car, and wear a hoodie outside. Not impressed.
What can I say…It's been raining cats & dogs at dawn, which made it tricky again to come up with 7 shots. It looks like it's on the improve now, rain-wise, but I wouldn't leave without a rain jacket or an umbrella today.
You can go for a paddle…but your surf time counter will not increase by much.
It's a waiting game. From Friday onwards, we should be sweet !
Take care !

If I had not looked at my calendar when I stepped outside, just to make sure, I would have guessed ''July''. You know, those days towards end of July, right in the middle of Winter ? This is how it looked and felt today.
To be fair, it was 18 degrees very early on. But, the problem is that it is hardly going to be warmer at all during the day. The Southerly is blowing its 20 knots. The surf is terrible, unless you've always dreamed of having a surf on your own in Bondi, in Summer.
I tried to capture what I could in-between two showers, trying to spare the gear from the rain.
Let's hope for a better tomorrow.
Have a great day. Get some work done: perfect day for it !

Happy new year, Frothers !
What a great day to start off 2014: blue sky, divine water, and very light wind at sunrise…Another 2ft of swell could’ve been a good add-on to this (almost) perfect combo.
If starting to learn how to surf is one of your resolution for 2014, then today is your day.
There are waves, but I suggest you keep an eye on the Ocean, as the tide will have an effect on the size, given how small it is. Tama looked good this morning. Let’s see how it develops later today.
If you want to see great above/below water footage, check out the Ocean Film Festival Australia 2014, which will be touring soon. Our good friend Mark Tipple is part of the selection with his amazing Duct Tape story. Well done and well deserved !
Have fun today !
Franck
