It is Summer outside, with fun waves !
Ok, it's a school day and most of you must be spewing to be at work right now. Out there it's fun, warm, offshore, and not very crowded.
It's a late up-date today as I was high on drugs for the last two days. All legit, don't worry ! I've had a little surgery, which has taken more of a toll on me than I expected, hence why I missed yesterday's up-date. So, I had to give a miss to today's sunrise to get some rest. I came down the beach a little later than the usual and as I cannot carry heavy stuff, I just came down with one lens (70-200mm for the tech savvy), a polarizing filter, as the sun was already high in the sky, and a few dollars to write the up-date from the best coffee joint in town: Chapter One !
What I found was a perfect day. A day that made me mad to have stitches all over my body ! If you can go for a dip or a surf: do it !
If you have a few minutes to spare, check this out: ''Inside the Monster'', with some pretty awesome footage from Teahupoo.
Have a nice day !

Good morning and Happy Monday to you all. It seems that most of you decided to stay in bed as the line up out at Bondi was noticeably quiet this morning. It must have been a big weekend!
Conditions are great out there and even the odd 2 ft wave is rolling in from a very south direction. You will have most fun on a bigger board like a log or a fish. The high tide may kill it mid morning but this afternoon might be worth a paddle when the tide heads out again.
Enjoy the day…. Brad

I can say confidently that you won't be surfing today. It is as flat as it gets. I shot the sunrise at Bronte this morning and that was as far as I got with the images – relying on a few unseen underwater shots that I got earlier in the week to fill up todays report.
This flat spell isn't going to last long. You should be back in the water tomorrow amongst some 3 – 4 ft south swell action. Fresh W to SW winds tomorrow before lighter more user friendly light winds on Sunday morning. I'd be checking what the early is doing Sunday morning for sure. Hopefully there will still be some swell hanging in there!
Don't forget Fathers Day is coming up and if you need a nice framed print of Dad's favorite beach – we've got you covered in our Frothers Gallery 145 Macpherson St Bronte
Have a great weekend – Brad

Clear, dark and starry before first light, with only a thin, golden band around the horizon. Some nice early colours eventually started the day. Purple to pink to orange and finally grey. It was all over in a matter of minutes and was all courtesy of the increasing cloud that should be with us for the remainder.
The swell is little more east today and this angle has Bondi’s rights showing more then they have the last few days. I wouldn’t say it was good by any means, as the banks need some grooming but still, there are waves to ride.
Looks like a nice, warm weekend coming and maybe even a decent increase in swell size too. Bring it!
Enjoy!

Another blue morning at the beach !
Crisp, even a bit cold. The offshore wind is to be blamed for that !
Waves are small, but clean and playful. The more volume the better. The end of the week is looking good…Keep an eye on the forecast.
With the days starting earlier now, I could see the earlier surfing shift say g’day to the later one, just like in a factory. The 6 to 7am crew clocks out when the 7 to 8am team clocks in !
You probably have seen it, but John John’s perfect 10 (11?) at Tahiti still blows my mind ! The kid is not from this planet…
Have a nice sunny day !
Franck
