Update 13th August 2013

G'day Frothers. It's a great morning huh! The sun is out and the mercury looks to hit 23 degrees today, there is a slight bump out there. Only at south facing Bondi will you find a 2 ft wave for the longboard. It isn't really suitable for any other vessel.

So while the surf is not really doing that much I thought I would take the chance to introduce you all to Deb Morris our newest team member here at the Froth. As you would agree her images of mini waves are simply stunning. The kind that would look brilliant on the wall at home or office. She has won many awards over the last few years for her eye catching imagery and we are so happy that she has made her prints available for you all at our Frothers Gallery – 145 Macpherson St Bronte.   

Enjoy your day – Hard not to really! – Brad

Update 12th August 2013

The pink glow through the blinds confirmed I’d lagged too long and missed a nice sunrise. There was still some nice colour when I arrived down the beach but I think the best was over. Oh well, snooze you lose!

After a brief burst of sun following the pink, the grey set in for the hour I spent shooting. A little karma I guess but hey! I love the grey! Well, not really but it ain’t that bad for digital. In the good old days of shooting slide film, you just didn’t bother unless the sun was out.

If you want a wave today, unlucky! It’s really, really tiny and as the tide fills in it wont be rideable at all. A few guys were giving it a shot this morning. Mostly middle-aged diehards who have to get there pre-work fix to maintain some peace of mind.

That’s the thing about the ocean. It creates sanity from madness…

Update 9th August 2013

It’s definitely been back to winter the last 2 days. I really wished I worn some gloves this morning as the bitter westerly felt like it was tearing the skin from my hands at first light.

Good news for surfers, the swell is back! There were two guys out middle Bondi as the dawn made it light enough to see what you were doing. That was definitely the best window, with some nice hollow lefts pushing through before the tide filled in and the swell started to drop. There are still some clean waves around though and well worth a paddle.

Looks like a sunny and warmer weekend coming up and the swell looks to be hanging in there as well.

Happy Days!

Update 8th August 2013

Dull is the only word I can find to describe the weather today. Only because there wasn't much going on anywhere. No waves, no people – just a few die hard's that are out doing what they do every day of the week, with an umbrella or wet weather gear of course.

Waves should jack up through the day. They're saying 4ft from the South direction – and if the wind stays like it is, which is very light from the west then we could be in for some fun waves this arvo. Keep that in mind while your at work! 

Have a good one – Brad 😉
