Winter Goodness In Summer

Hi Frothers !

It’s incredible what 24 hours can do.

We went from ”don’t even think about it” to ”oh my god, it’s like Winter surf conditions in Summer” overnight.

First, we got a cracking sunrise. Then, I made my way to Tama/Bronte and from the eagle’s nest, I could witness the high tide craziness of full waves turning into barreling sections, the massive backwash and the suicidal late take-offs. Cool show !

The chilly offshore winds and the solid waves breaking loudly on the cliffs were sending us right to a perfect Winter day.

There should be plenty of waves today and tomorrow (dropping off in size a notch though). Pick your spot !

Bronte & Tamaram’high

Hi Frothers !

We can see some blue over the grey ! Yew !

What a run of bad weather. Incredible for this time of the year. This morning was still really wet but now the strong winds seem to be pushing this rain further North. Hopefully the situation will improve in the Newcastle area. Those guys had to cope with some serious flooding there…

We should be back in the water in the next couple of days, hopefully. At least, the weekend is looking promising.

Today, some shots of Bronte and Tama.

Have a great day !

Coogee & Clovell’high

Hi Frothers !

Well, I won’t say much about the weather, the surfing conditions or the activity down at the beach today again…

Monsoon season in Sydney ! It’s depressing I must say. It’s taking precious days out of the overall Summer days count.

It’ll be over soon(ish).

Till then, I’ll try to brighten your days with some sunny helicopter shots from last week, focusing today on Coogee and Clovelly.

Have a great day !

Maroubr’high

Hi Frothers !

My God…this rain is relentless !

25 knots. 19 degrees tops. Rain. Rain. Rain. July in January.

I have therefore decided to share some shots from Maroubra taken during the last swim of 2015. If you know someone who was swimming or surfing there that day, share this email !

I’ll keep the shots from Tama & Bronte for another (rainy) day.

Have a great day !

Bond’high

Hi Frothers !

Happy new year 2016 !

Where has this Xmas break gone already ?! It went like a flash. Especially when the weather brings goodness like last week for NYE and NYD. What a bliss !

The conditions were perfect indeed, and on 31st December I decided to hop on a big drone. One in which you can actually sit inside. Like a bee, I went around the beehive: from Maroubra, to Bondi, and then from South Head to the Harbour Bridge.

So today, I’ll share with you a few shots from Bondi. I’ll keep the rest for the rainy days. But I think I will be sharing the shots from the other beaches later this week, as it looks like the weather is not looking too promising (perfect weather to get back on the tools or on the chair though !).

We wish you a healthy year made of salty water, waves, joy, travels, personal achievements, and love.
