Hi Frothers ! S M I L E: it’s Summer ! Crystal clear ocean, small clean waves, blu sky, boardies, the smell of sunblock in the water: no doubt that it’s going to be a great day ! The only downside is that I have just counted about 120 people surfing those fun 1-2ft waves. You’ll have to share… Have a great day ! Franck (insta: @franckgazzola) |

Hi Frothers !
Monday has come, with the sun. Last week has been pretty lame weather-wise, and loooong. It was hard to see the light at the end of this grey tunnel. We’ve been waiting in the wet, hoping to see a better tomorrow.
This better tomorrow is today. And we should be in this good weather pattern for a while. Only the waves are still needing some improvement: it’s mushy and small, leftovers from a rainy and windy night.
So, let’s enjoy this summery feel ! Let’s start on the right foot after such a gloomy weekend when the rain was drenching the French flag floating over the Harbour Bridge !
Life’s good. Carpe diem.
Have a happy Monday.

PS: Sorry for the lack of updates last week, but I was away on a shoot most of the week, and I could not risk the gear to get wet before getting on set. But I don’t think we’ve missed anything…

Hi Frothers !
This morning was very close to being perfect. Very close.
Almost all the ingredients were there:
- sun
- 20 degrees at sunrise
- perfectly smooth warm water – no wind
- lots of people out
- smiles all over the joint
Only things missing:
- another foot of swell, or 2 (let’s round it up to 3)
- some clouds at sunrise to throw some crazy colours in the sky
Bottom line, it’s a pretty amazing day. Enjoy it !

Hi Frothers !
5:20am: my alarm goes off. I press the snooze button. Yes ! I just bought myself another 10 minutes of happiness…1 hour later, I realize that I press the ”turn off alarm” button, not the ”snooze” one…
So, judging from what I’ve been told and what I’ve seen already: I missed a pretty amazing sunrise. You snooze, you loose…Damn !
Still, it was quite nice to shoot this morning, as it is a pretty nice warm|sunny day (but unfortunately for the Monday-Friday crowd: it’s Monday), and the waves are clean. They’re just a little small though, but with less water, you could get a fun Summer surf (2ft). Flippers and his mate were checking out Sculpture by The Sea this morning, taking their time between Tama and Bronte.

Hi Frothers !
It’s back ! It’s back ! The Sun is back, people !
I was getting tired of waking up for nothing, seeing the rain pouring every morning. This morning, I woke up all excited ’cause the forecast said that the sky should clear up. Looked through the window: rain, grey. Oh no…another one of those…
I slowly make my way down to the beach, drive around for a surf check, and then, all of a sudden, it’s there. We can see it punching through. The promised one. It’s here ! And what is that here ?! Blue sky ?! Yes, I can see the sky: Hallelujah, Mazel Tov ! Sneak out early for a vitamin D reload, if you can, as it shouldn’t last for too long.
The surf is not as good as it was last night, but you’ll be able to catch a few waves today, especially on the East and North facing beaches.
