What an awful start of the day today ! The rain has kept everyone off the beach, and the late sunrise does not allow many of us to stick around for long enough…so it seems that we head to work early, hoping to get out of work early as well, huh ?

It was pouring down at sunrise ! Cats & dogs ! Even to get that 1 shot, I struggled with the tripod in one hand, the umbrella in the other: it was messy…

The surf, however was looking alright, and unusually uncrowded. If you wanted to score ok waves with no one, then this morning was a good pick in Bondi ! I haven't been able to check Bronte and Tama, but I'd say the same thing… 

I decided to show fresh images from yesterday. I took a little road trip with Joel ''Yeww-man'' Pilgrim, one of the key leaders of the OneWave crew, and we went up the coast to Avoca and Copacabana, homeland of local hero Matt Wilko. Copacabana got some nice waves, and the clearest water I've seen in a while, but I selfishly decided to leave the camera in the car and get a few myself.

Have a nice day. Work heaps. And don't think about this weather too much: it's gonna be average most of the week anyway…But if the forecast doesn't change as we get into this week, we could have another weekend of Summer weather this week ! Fingers crossed !
