Please excuse the late update this morning. But I had to go and sample a few of these awesome waves for myself this morning.
I headed over to Maroubra to check out the NSW State Junior Titles this morning. I knew there would be a few young groms absolutely ripping it. I wasn't disappointed as on almost every wave someone was busting fins or taking to the air. All I can say is that the future of Australian surfing is looking bright. I am sure there was a future world champ in the mix somewhere.
The swell backed off over night – but Maroubra looked so good that even I, with a brand new bub to look after plus the upload of the daily images and the job of writing the report decided to get out in the water. That is the 2nd surf in 10 weeks now. I'm going great huh!
Enjoy the day – Brad Malyon 😉

It was dismal out there this morning. A brisk south change moved through over night, turning the coastline into a wintry, ghost town again. We can’t really complain, it’s been a dream run as far as weather goes so far.
The surf has picked up to around the 6 foot mark, though it’s a mess with this strong wind blowing.
The only surfer I saw this morning was swimming in from outside the Ice Bergs. I actually thought it was some crazy swimmer trying to do a lap of the beach, until I saw the poor fella’s broken board washing in on the shore.
There are a few big rights out Bronte for the harder core surfer but it’s pretty much victory at sea conditions right now. Not too bad a day to be in the office.

A glorious morning down at the beach today. Only the wetties are the indication we're not in Summer !
Sorry for late up-date, but I went from a shooting at the Beach to another shooting in the City. But, if it wasn't for this job waiting for me, I'd have stayed at the Beach, grabbed my board (any kind would work today, even though longer ones were the majority still) and went for a paddle.
The sky was perfectly blue, the waves, waist to chest/head high, clean and frequent. Those are the sign on the incoming one, scheduled for tomorrow and solid ! Bondi might not be the pick. It'll probably be close-out central.
Have a nice sunny day !

6am. I’m sitting in Hall Street, having a coffee with a friend while stripping off the layers of cloths I instinctively wore. Im trying to keep myself from over heating, as the perspiration begins to bead on my brow. What season is this? The caffeine rush must be confusing me because I thought we were smack in the middle of winter right now.
July is usually our coldest month but if we hit 20c today, it seems we will be breaking another record. This time, for a July warm spell. Crazy year. Last month we broke a June wet spell record. Hopefully August will keep the trend going and we'll break the longest good swell period record, because right now there still isn’t much happening around here.
Have a wonderful weekend.

Once again I just couldn't resist getting into the wet today. This morning kicked off like a beauty. Beautiful golden light filled the valley of Bondi then once in the water with the camera the light dazzled beneath the surface. While the waves above were average to say the least…. barely knee high and weak as, there is always something cool or interesting to capture below. Regardless of what the waves are like today – the fact of the matter is that it is going to be 21 degrees today. Now that's a good excuse to get out there!
It was great to see Bishan Rajapakse back out in the line up after his world famous slap from the big mumma whale last week. Now that is a story to tell the kids! Check out his BLOG here….
Enjoy the day….Brad
