Just a quick one this morning folks. There are some fun waves around hitting the 3ft mark out of the SE. Not much wind around either! I rocked on down to Bondi and came across a hell looking right shorey. It looked like heaps of fun. I got my froth on and thought about having a wave myself but I have to run and go and clean up the remnants of a rockin wedding party. Yep – I am married now to the lovely Christie. I am one lucky fella that is for sure!
Waves should improve when the tide drops. South Bondi is the GO! Get out there!
Have a great day – Brad

Say the weather is a ''she''. Well I think she doesn't know what she wants today…She made us wet, and then gave us hope with a few rays of sunshine, but changed her mind again (definitely a ''she'' ! ahaha).
The high tide swollowed almost all the tiny bits of swell. Groms, or super keen only. Or try your luck late morning, you might get more lucky. The theme of the morning was ''shorebreak surfing'', so I reckoned I'd get wet with the housing. Shooting outside the water under the rain wasn't too much fun…
I'm getting excited today. Why, well because tomorrow, one of my best mates is getting married to a beautiful (pregnant) gal ! Sorry girls, from tomorrow onwards, Brad Malyon is gonna be officially off the market ! And I'm gonna be partying hard to celebrate it ! Can't wait…
I hope ''She'' is gonna be nice with us tomorrow. I hope she decides to make the sun shine, and that she'll stick to it.
It's Friday. I hope it put a smile on your beach-bum's faces !
Cheers,
Franck

That marvelous autumn weather we have been longing for is finally back. After the last week of below average temps I was starting to think we were doomed to an early winter start. Ye of little faith! Our big brown land was never going to desert us that quick.
Not much swell for surfers unfortunately but that didn’t stop a tight, crowded pack of frothers jamming the backwash affected shorebreak at Bondi this morning. It was crazy swimming around out there with surfers coming from all directions. I was glad I decided to wear my helmet, as there were some close calls.
The Quiksilver Pro is on hold for a possible start later today at Kirra. Right now on the Goldy the women are out there pulling into some heavy little drainers. With the swell predicted to get bigger we could see some great pits for the remainder of the event.
Enjoy your day!

I headed down to Bronte for the sunrise shot this morning and it didn't disappoint. Right on cue as the sun was just below the horizon line the sky came to life for a new day. I am a sucker for color in the sky. It is probably the main reason why I get up so early every morning. Just to see the sunrise. The same reason as you.
Surprisingly there are a few waves around. There was next to no wind at sunrise and conditions were better than they have been for a long while and there is noticeably a bit more punch in the 2 ft east swell. Hit it soon as the northerly wind is meant to freshen up later.
I'll see you all next week. As a married man that is – Yep Christie and I are getting hitched on Saturday and we're having one hell of a party!
Cheers Brad 😉

The crappiness continues and I’m talking surf here folks. It’s starting to feel like yonks since we’ve had a half decent paddle and I’m sick of going to the pool to swim laps to try and keep fit. Following a black line just isn’t like drawing your own on a smooth, clean wall of water.
On our side is the fact we are moving into the best time of year for waves, so stay positive and don’t let those surf blues get you down just yet!
