It's all happening down there. The East swell that was much anticipated is well and truly rockin it and is getting into Maroubra just nicely. It was and still is firing! So much so that I frothed out so hard and hit the water. Once with the camera and then for a well earned surf. I am paying the price for it now though. I'm knackered.
Hopefully you have been out there already and scored yourself a few tune up waves getting ready for the weekend. It's going to be on!
Might see you in the water this weekend! – Brad 😉

A friend of mine who rises sometimes at 4am, says he loves to go driving the empty streets in those early hours. He sometimes drives from his house in Bronte to Kings Cross to grab a coffee, because nowhere in Bondi is open to get a half decent cup of java at that hour.
On the other hand, driving back from Maroubra at 8am after a morning surf, or shoot, is a frustrating nightmare for me. Sometimes it takes half an hour just to get back to Bondi! I don’t know how those poor commuters do it twice a day. I’d be a basket case!
Today in brief; nice, warm (but was cold early) and there is surf! The next few days will be even better for waves, so make sure you don’t miss out.

This morning you will find our beaches effected by last nights storms that moved through resulting in 2 – 3 ft of south wind swell today. It didn't look the best at Maroubra. There were only a few keen beans in the water making the most of it. It was hard to nail a good one – you had to be in the right place at the right time sort of thing. It didn't look like any of that was happening at all for the crew that were out.
Not long now till we have a good little swell on our hands from the ENE. It looks like Friday is shaping up nicely. It should be 4 ft or so with a NW wind keeping it all tidy. Saturday will be bigger but flanked with a SW wind. Either way things are looking good.
Enjoy the day… Brad 😉

The early birds of this life experience sometimes the best of what mornings can offer. Today was one of those. Colours, waves, winter warmth and dolphins. What else could we ask for (…except an extra foot of swell) ? This made my life very difficult in choosing shots to put up.
Given the lack of time this morning, I decided to set camp with all the gear on the South corner. Not only because it offers one of the best view you can get on a sunrise in Bondi, hence why most yogis and Tai Chee masters have made it their morning HQ, but also because that’s where the best wave currently breaks in Bondi. This little right hander was quite nice a cruisy this morning. It might just disappear as the tide rises though.
(Solid) Swell’s on the way for the weekend, but we should get waves all week, and days are stretching again. All good news.
Enjoy the day.

Warm winter conditions returned to Sydney again today, thanks to some summer-ish like north winds that blew in over the weekend. July has been such a nice month.
Temps should be close to 20c today but with a south change due tomorrow afternoon, make the most of it, summer isn’t hanging around for long.
The swell has finally backed right off to around 2 feet, with Maroubra being your best bet for a wave with the occasional 3 foot set and definitely worth a paddle.
Have a great week!
