Touch down back in Sydney from Bali – and from the air as we circled over Sydney at 6.00am I could see that there was not much swell to report on. Nothing to get excited about for the weekend either! It looks like a weekend of logging. It's a cracker of a day out there with the sun shining and a tip top temp of 25 degrees which will extend throughout the weekend. Worth a visit to the beach that's for sure!
In between surfs I managed to hit the water at Uluwatu with the camera. Here is a little collection of the last few days. It was fun to say the least!
The gallery is open today till 5pm. We're at 145 Macpherson St in Bronte. Remember folks Mother's Day is just around the corner and a Frothers print will go down perfectly!
Enjoy the weekend and see all of you mad frothers next week!

The off shore westerly wind had the thermometer down a little early this morning. If you get up early like me, it really feels like winter is building momentum, creeping a little closer with every day.
We have some great weather with us again today. The sun is shining and by mid morning you won’t need that hoody anymore. The water temperature is still amazing as well and nothing more than a spring suit is needed for a paddle.
There are still some nice little 3 foot waves rolling through. We have had some great waves the last few days but it won’t last forever. Grab your board, some wax, maybe a little sun cream and make the most of it.
Did you hear about the guy that was ill while on board an Indo boat charter, fainted and fell over board? He was lost at sea for 27 hrs before being rescued. Lucky boy! Read HERE.

Big drop in swell size this morning, but what a nice day !
Now, the high tide this morning wasn’t helping, so maybe later we should get improved conditions. Don’t get me wrong, it’s actually quite nice out there. Waist to chest high 75% of the time and a few odd ones overhead the rest of the time.
Tama and Bronte have had their days lately, and Bondi was the star of the morning. The banks are working well. The problem: the crowd ! The energizing early morning session can quickly become a frustrating moment…unless you’re ready to share every wave with 5 other dudes, or if you ride a ding-proof board.
Yes, it was a bit chilly at 5:50am. But as soon as the sun was out, the temperature started to be nice and warm. 25 degrees forecasted for today, and it’s due to last for the long weekend: 27 degrees on Sunday ! Yewww ! Probably the last burst of Summer 2012/2013. Make sure you take Friday off !
As the week will go, the board size required will grow. Go for a paddle asap !
I wanted to talk about skimboarding. I know what some of you are thinking. But hear me out ! Look at what this guys does: even the best of us with 3 fins would struggle to do what this guy does. AMAZING !
Have a great day !

The last few days have seen us searching the wardrobe for an extra layer of clothing as winter seems to have hit with a vengeance and I doubt whether we will see again, the warm temps we were basking in at the beach only a week ago.
The dismal surf conditions I’ve been whining about all autumn have back flipped as well with some great looking waves finally arriving on our doorstep yesterday. Today is particularly pumping with a better wind arriving from the west, grooming the solid swell lines which are finally marching through.
Looks like the next couple of days will be the ones so make the most of them, that’s if you can of course. I know some of us have to work and the lucky few who don’t are certainly going to score!
Have fun out there!

It was a bit of a non-event in Bali yesterday. With a small swell running and an all day high tide, Uluwatu was not at its best. Still though – it was better than most days at home.
There is talk of a new little swell that is meant to arrive by late this afternoon here on the Island. It won't be anything mental, just a good jump in the swell period which should deliver some nice clean consistent head-high waves. Hopefully I'll have a chance to shoot some action in between surfs for you all.
I just had a quick look at the forecast for you guys back home. It looks like your going to be in for some weather and a good whack of messy swell. Sunday is going to be your best bet, as the winds ease, as that low pressure runs out of puff and moves off the coast. Check the real forecast – Coastalwatch

Stay warm and dry this weekend – Brad 😉
