Mother nature turned it on this morning. I had to be quick with the camera as it didn't last long. The light sneaking in and under the clouds very quickly but at the same time making for a very colorful and dramatic start to the day. Still only very small and the only place for any kind of wave today is again Bondi. It's absolutely perfect for a log out there. If you don't have a log like me visit this site www.lifeisjustswell.com These guys make some cool logs out of California named Almond Shapes. It's just like the one Keiran is proudly displaying in today's portrait. Thanks for the heads up mate!
24 big ones today. You might want to leave the hoody at home and take on the UV's. Maybe even hit the beach in your lunch break.
Regardless of how you spend your day have a good one! Oh and if you have a spare moment why not check our gallery out at Bronte top shops. 145C Macpherson St Bronte.
Over and out – Brad

Gee willy willakers. That WNW wind was fresh this morning, nipping at my ears reminding me that winter is indeed not over. Lucky for us it will warm up to 22 degrees today. Still not much swell around. There was a bunch of 15 frothers in the south corner at Bondi sharing waves on that nice sand bank set up. Yes it's still there. All it needs is another couple of feet of swell and it will be game on again. Maybe not this week though, as the swell forecast isn't looking any good at all. If you have a longboard get on it and get stylin. That will be your only resort this week.
Bill Morris shot a good session at South Bondi last Friday. For a few pics CLICK through to our event page and see if you were caught amongst the action.
Have a great day – Brad

Have the seasons finally begun to change? It sure seems that way the last few days with this amazing Spring like weather upon us. We still have one third of winter to go, so I doubt it will last forever.
Its pretty much flat as a pancake this morning with beautifully clear sky’s and hardly a breath of wind. Crazy orange rays were shooting into a pale blue sky from behind Ben Buckler just before sunrise like some spectacular lightshow. They could never make them this good. It feels good to be alive on mornings like this and once you make the effort to get into the ocean it feels even better. The water is really quite warm for this time of year at a balmy 18 degrees. Hopefully it won’t drop any further. I’m loving surfing in a 2mm full suit still. Its makes paddling a breeze.
So don’t be lazy and make the most of whatever time you have today to get down to the ocean. Have a swim, SUP or a longboard. Low tide is at 3pm so there will be 6 inches of something on offer.
Have a great day!

It was no secret that there were going to be waves this morning in the 3 – 4ft range. Everyone was on it early in the South corner at Bondi. It's probably the only real bank around in the East at the moment. It must be, because Mark Mathews and John Gannon were out there this morning meaning Maroubra must not have been great and Tama and Bronte looked really full on the early high. I didn't see anything worth hooting over but there is the odd left and right out there. Worth a paddle for sure.
The word was that late last night Bondi was pumping. Hence the crowded jungle this morning. I missed it! Can't wait for more light in the day so i can actually get a wave in. Come on summer! All in all its an ideal day to get wet. You will be battling the crowds if you head to Bondi that's for sure. The swell will back off over the weekend. So today is your day. Make the most of it.
Don't forget Johannes Leak is having his Surface Exhibition at the Beach Rd Hotel starting tonight. He is one talented human. Make sure you get there early to claim one of his works! Keep your eyes off the Muhammad Ali piece.
Have a great weekend – Brad

Today dawned cold and dark. The wind a little more around the compass into the SW direction, insuring you knew it was still winter in Sydney. The amazing run of swell is still with us though. Not as clean and perfect as the last 3 days of beautifully brushed westerly wind conditions but still offshore in any case. With the swell more south Bondi was copping the full 3-4 feet of it. Plenty of surfers up early as well, eager to get amongst it before work. Why not. Better than sleeping your life away.
The outlook for the rest of the week looks good with more waves forecast. Swell will turn even further south with an increase in the period, so we should see some straighter lines again. Light winds are predicted also.
Wax up and have a great day.

Just a quick update this morning folks. I went to Maroubra for a little peak and was surprised to see some nice waves coming through. It's 3ft from the SE and conditions are ideal again with light W winds fluffing up the wave face nicely. Get your froth on and get out there. It's an amazing day!
The Froth gallery is open today 145C Macpherson St Bronte. Come and stick your head in and say g'day.
Cheers – Brad
