It's a beautiful Spring morning in Sydney and the waves are pumping! The days are getting longer because the sun is rising earlier and setting later. Which means more time for living and today is definitely worth doing some of that.
A clear, golden sunrise lit up the beaches early and the lineup quickly became dotted with before workers, frothing to get their fix and kick start their day with a better frame of mind. That's what surfing does. It makes you happy… More often than not, anyway. You only need one good ride to make that magic wash over you.
Bronte has a few nice peaks in the middle. Bondi is still quite solid and closing out on the sets but the in-between-ers are good and there are even a few barrels on the lefts for those lucky enough to be in the right spot.
Those cold southerlies are gone as the winds swing around to the north this week. That winter feeling takes a back seat once more and will soon disappear totally. Lets just hope these Spring swells keep coming.
Have a good one.
Cheers

Firstly, how's the Aussie A-Team over in New York – Sam Stosur and Owen Wright! It's nice to see the podium mixed up a bit with some Aussie blood. On home shores, the swell kicked into a higher gear over night. It seems a bit more powerful, somewhat more rogue than the last few days. Every now and then a good sized bomb will wash through. There were even a few closing out the bay at Bronte this morning. That's your best chance of a wave if you're keen enough. Maybe wait till later though, when the wind is expected to drop off. The water is a chilly 15.8 degrees on the temp stick so take some good rubber with you.

Hold on to your Mojo people! Its Frothing Friday and the weekend is almost here! Even though it's a little bleak today, knowing that (if you're a 9 to 5er) you have 2 days off to run amuck in the city is enough to get your spirits high. And after all, that's what it's all about, huh?
Local identity and co-owner of "The Wreck" Bar and Restaurant – Rick Vaughan, has his Mojo sorted. He was happily washing the windows of his family's hotel – Ravesis, when I cruised past early and asked if I could shoot a portrait of him. "Of course" he said. What a happy chap! It's always nice to see a smiling local while on my photo mission rounds.
Festival of The Winds is on this Sunday and it looks like there won't be any shortage of breeze to get those massive kites into the air. Let's hope it's not too strong for them as it's always an amazing display in the sky over Bondi.
Not much surf yet but it's clean and the wind is still light. There were 4 guys getting a few out Bronte reef early and the same over at Bondi, with a nice small left in the corner every now and again. Don't wait too long if you're thinking of hitting it today. A big south westerly is on its way to chill things down and it looks like we should have some wave size again by tomorrow, with Sunday looking pretty good as the wind goes more west. But you will definitely need a warm wetsuit.
Have a great weekend everyone. See you next week!

We still got waves folks. Fun ones too. That's if your at the right beach of course. I ventured to Maroubra this morning just after sunrise to catch the morning golden light in all its glory. And wasn't everyone having a great time out there. Everyone was pretty much ripping it! Good to see.
There is 2 – 3ft sets hitting the beach still with the ENE direction in it and conditions were ideal although a little brisk thanks to a fresh WSW wind. Hit it now as the high tide this afternoon might fatten things up a bit. Make the most of the sunlight as those showers are not too far away!
If you have time to kill today catch up on all the action from Round 1 at the Quicksilver Pro, New York. Watch Heats on demand.
Have an awesome day! – Brad

What a glorious morning. So mild out there. Staring down the barrel of 24 on the gauge today. Will it last? Yes it should for best part of the daylight hours so make the most it because they say the showers are going to roll up tomorrow and Thursday. There is a wave on, just not at Bondi thanks to the NE wind swell that is on offer. Give it a wide berth if you want to surf. I say head to the Bra where there are 2 – 3 ft of fun bumps rocking in. So a little birdy tells me!!!
Things are looking the goods in New York State, USA for the Long Island Quicksilver Pro. Check out the swell forecast HERE Can't wait to see the action!
Have a great day. Will try and get over to the Bra tomorrow. A few groms are keen to put on a show! – Brad
