Terri Guillemets said ~ “A cloudless plain blue sky is like a flowerless garden.” I tend to agree, especially where landscape photography is concerned. Sunrises light up way more when the right amount of cloud is present.
Then again, if I’m shooting in the surf I always prefer it clear, because the ocean reflects the colour of the sky and the whiter the sand on the bottom, the bluer the colour, especially between mid morning and afternoon. The mornings we mostly shoot can tend to be a little green in the low light.
So much for the photography blurb. As far as the waves are concerned, there still isn’t very much on offer but I was surprised to see it rideable this morning. As the tide fills in, that will certainly change.
However, it is looking a lot better for tomorrow, the period jumps considerably and these strong winds drop right away. Could be time to ditch the log and break out the short board again.
Have fun!

One word of advice for today is to GO AND GET WET! Honestly the water and weather combo we have is amazing and well worth a splash. It will make you feel a million dollars. I promise!
The lack of swell will be with us for a couple more days yet. A south swell is due for Friday which will break the flat spell.
I am not going to ramble on today. You have all the info you need. Now I am out there to swim a couple of laps of Bronte/Tama….
Have an excellent day – Brad 😉

30 degrees outside of the water. 21 degrees inside.
…It's a shame the swell is hiding from our shores at the minutes, 'cause it would have been a great day to go surfing. If you're picky, you might say ''yeah, well, there no sun anyway''. True that. But the water is divine and if you own one of those bulky, long and thick gliding objects, you could have some fun in those 1footer, with the odd 1.5 foot.
Chris and Ben have ruled the South corner this morning. Good on you guys !
I am now counting the days before Quiky Pro France…
Have a nice day.
Franck

After a week of good surfing, it’s always a let down to see the swell disappear. Not so bad I guess if you’re catching the bus for the city to sit behind a desk, or driving a truck full of tools to some job site.
You may have to survive on those surfing session memories for a while too as Friday, at this stage, looks like the next half decent paddle you may (or may not) get in. It’s a bit far out for the inconsistent internet, so don’t hold your breath at this point.
Two of Bondi’s finest Lifeguards set out on Saturday to ride their jetskis around Australia to raise money for mental health. If you have ever ridden a jetski in the ocean for any period of time, you would know how taxing it becomes on the body after a while. I can’t imagine the pain Jesse and Maxi will injure on this trip but it’s all for a great cause. You can check out their mission HERE.
Have a great week!

There is still a few waves around this morning. Just when we all thought it was backing off yesterday arvo – It has kicked again. This time from the south. On the sets it is hitting the 3 ft mark but the banks are straight and mostly closing out. The sun is shining though and it it looks set to be a great beach day. So get out there!
There is a bonus swell for the weekend too. Yes people you should be surfing all weekend.
I am off to work now. My first day back at Bondi as a Lifeguard after a 2 yr break to set up our Frothers Gallery in Bronte. So if you see me down on the waters edge – please say g'day!
Have a cracker of a weekend! – Brad 😉
