You must be a grom, or very keen (or both) if you wanna surf today again…
But if you're targetting a swim, a run, a yoga session on the sand, a PT driven boot camp, or simply a coffee by the board walk, today is another perfect day for that !
The weekend does not seem to look the goods, but at least the charts see a little more activity swell-wise. Just a little random in size and direction, so be ready to drive a bit and dodge the Northerly.
It's a great day to go past the Frothers Gallery in Bronte. Pictures always look better printed and in a frame ! 😉
Have a nice day !

Another one of those sunny-warm-springy-FLAT-fitness busy-blue day…
If it wasn’t for the stiches I’d gone for a swim after a jog, or simply tried my brand new water housing. The beach was busy, despite the flat. Everyone seems to be in ‘’I wanna fit in my bikini’’ or ‘’I wanna lose the winter beer belly’’ mode !
Now, on a day like this, how good would it be to still be able to surf and enjoy the warmth. That’s what the Wave Garden would allow the Wave Garden would allow you to do ! I must admit, I am not a big fan of the wave pool concept, especially in the middle of the desert. I find it a waste of precious resources. It takes a lot of concrete, a lot of water, bleached, and a big amount of energy. But the Wave Garden is different, and with a bit of water, a light structure but some very very smart engineering, you can surf a 10 roller wave, left or right: you decide ! Have a look at that Wave Garden 2.0 video: you’ll be dribbling.
Have a nice day !

It’s warm in the light and cold in the shade. The winter we never had is over and spring is here again. Its nature’s way of saying ‘lets party!’
Before long, our beaches will be packed and the car parks will be full again. They were half way there yesterday with many bodies dotting the sands for a beautiful, sunny Father’s Day.
The incredible run of weather and practically zero surf continues. They seem to go hand in hand and I’d trade the weather for some decent waves right now.
Have a great week!

Winter is over for us tomorrow at midnight, even though it never felt like we had one this year. It’s officially our warmest winter ever! Well, since records started to be documented 121 years ago and that’s still an unbelievably long time.
Depending on where you live in Australia, winter can either be bitter, chilly or just plain mild. Sydney winter’s don’t get anywhere near as extreme as Europe for example and I guess our coldest season would fall under the ‘chilly’ category.
This year has been freakish with many records tumbling, if not for all time, at least for many decades; hottest day, wettest month, driest month and now warmest winter and that’s just for Sydney. Makes you wonder what’s coming next!
Surf report – Better than yesterday, 2-3 foot NE wind swell. Try Tama or Maroubra for the biggest waves.
Our gallery is open all weekend from 9am-4pm and we have some great Father’s Day ideas. Come check us out at 145 McPherson St, Bronte, just down from ‘The Three Blue Ducks’ Café.
Have a great weekend!

Sometimes I find when there is a great combo of nice weather and small playful waves going down it can produce some good vibes in the water. Bondi was damn fun this morning. The long boarders were killing it especially a guy named Ed from Cornwall UK. Taking off reverse fin first, spinning and dancing in the morning light. Pretty cool stuff!
So it's 2 ft most of the time but on occasion there are sneaky 3 ft sets out there. The water has warmed up a notch too which is a much welcomed bonus. Expect a top temp of 23 degrees today. Just another little taste of what's to come for tomorrow. Yes that's right 27 on the richter scale and a bump in swell from the NE. I suspect that a few of our emails might bounce tomorrow.
Enjoy – Brad 😉
