Hi Frothers !
I hope you had a great weekend. Maybe you’ve been away from the craze and left the ‘burbs for quieter landscapes, and less busy waves. Maybe you’ve enjoyed Sydney wrapped in flags. Maybe you’ve stayed local since the weather wasn’t actually as bad as forecasted (bloody weatherman !). In any case, I hope you’ve enjoyed the long weekend.
If you were away for yesterday’s celebrations, here are some shots to help you catch up. A little bit of ”street photography” style shots, for a change. Cool summer and family vibes around the beach. The cloudy morning quickly became a perfect day.
The only thing that made me mad is this group of people sitting next to us on the sand. They brought a big bag with soft drinks, beers, cups and food. After coming back from the water from a quick dip, they had left. But all their trash was still on the sand. All of it. Not even the slightest effort made to take some of it to the bins which were only 40 meters away, forcing us to clean for them. I usually try to have empathy with people, but I just don’t get that. I don’t.
Finally, on a different note, yesterday brought a bad news: Big Wave Dave from Let’s Go Surfing passed away in an avalanche. A really sad news for our community. Our thoughts to Dave’s close ones.
Enjoy today.

Hi Frothers !
We’re in between storms. The ocean is silver. Glassy. Despite the big fluro crew on the South end of the beach, there was this feeling of peacefulness this morning.
Yes, we’re going to get more rain later today. But in the meantime, I suggest you duck out and go for a couple of waves. It’s fun ! And with less water, it might become even better.
There is a long weekend ahead. Hopefully you get the Monday off. The problem is: the forecast is not looking too promising. However, there should be plenty of swell around (at 15 sec !). So I reckon it’s still a good idea to pack up a tent a get out of town to find an empty wave somewhere. That’s what I’ll be doing.
Gone surfing ! See you on Wednesday !

Hi Frothers !
Bondi just turned into a tropical paradise in the last few days: I can’t remember swimming in such warm water. The water clarity is amazing, and the weather…God, the weather is P E R F E C T, especially if you like it hot. And judging by how busy the beach is during the day, I know you do.
At the end of today, there will certainly be some burnt backs after the little nap on the sand, dozens of liters of icecream sold, hundreds of cans of coconut water drank, and thousands of near-misses in the surf as everyone will be fighting for the few waves around. In summary: another amazing day in Bondi.

Hi Frothers !
The water is unusually warm. The wind is absent. And, there was a super fun bank throwing some nice 2-3ft rights on the Southern end of Bondi. Clean as.
If this is not the perfect morning, then I don’t know how much better it can get !
I wish I had been more awake this morning. Got to the beach, open the camera bag: not the right camera in the bag. Went home. Got the right camera to go in the water-housing. Got ready. Opened the trunk: where are my fins ?! Went home. Came back. Finally got in the water. And after 5 minutes in the ocean, the camera kept shooting hundreds of shots without me doing anything. A few minutes & 650 shots later, my memory cards were full. One of those days……#fail #whytoday?

Hi Frothers !
I could not get to the beach on time this morning to shoot the sunrise, but I can tell you it’s a cracker outside, and so will be the next few days. Summer in full swing again.
Summer is also the season for spectacular storms. I love them. The good thing with this part of the World, is that you don’t have to ”chase” the storms. They come to you.
Here are a couple shots of last week’s storm, and a few more taken from our Gallery.

Hi Frothers !
Well, we are certainly going to fry today: some say 36º, some 40º !
But, there is a but. The Southerly on steroids will kick in at some point late today, and will play the party crasher, bringing the storm, & the rain pour.
If you like to photograph storms, I reckon today could be a great day to shoot one of those dooms day storm fronts. At least, that’s what I am hoping for…
Till then, drink lots, call your boss and say you got tonsillitis, but make sure you get in the water before it turns to s…torm (between the flags: the rip was super strong in Bondi this morning).
Have a great day !
