I had a little wonder down to Tamarama this morning and was quite surprised to see 3 feet of SE swell rolling into shore. Conditions were beautiful with light off shore winds and when the sun popped out from behind the thick cloud band on the horizon, the grayness slipped away and the morning turned to gold.
Those storms last night were radical! I wanted to go shoot some lightning flashes but the rain kept me at home. The storm water has poured heaps of debris and rubbish out into the lineup and with the early high tide pushing in, it’s pretty filthy in the water right now. Not ideal surfing and swimming conditions, unless you want to pick up an ear infection or some weird bug but things should improve when the tide moves out later.
The Aussies cleaned up at the 6 star Australian Open at Manly yesterday. Sally Fitzgibbons took the women’s title and 17 year old Matt Banting scoring both the Junior’s and Open titles! That’s some result for a young teenager to pull off in a world-class field. He beat some of the biggest names in Surfing! Good on you Matt!
