Bondi 7am – waist high on sets (just), Mal dayClean crisp conditions for a microscopic NE wind swell. Not worth surfing – perhaps take the mal out for a muck around. But that’s about it. Biggest sets were around waist high and really infrequent. Sun is shining and morning temperatures are on the increase. Maximum […]

Bondi 7am 1 foot and not pumping1 foot dribbly bumps lapping into Bondi this morning. Virtually no power to even push a 5 year old grommie (or Beo). Swell is coming from north east which is a good sign of summer coming. Wind: NW 10/15 knots tending NE 10/15 knots in the afternoon and SE […]

Bondi 7am 1-2 foot, forgetaboutitIt’s a day for the beginners. Tiny weak waves were struggling to produce anything decent. Long waits between ripples and a huge morning crowd enjoying the sunshine. Great morning to be doing something other than surfing, water is still chilly 17 degrees, but worth a dip. I’m sorry to report that […]

Bondi 2-3 Foot, playful but bit on the small side, crowded As expected the swell has retreated overnight robbing us of the fun head high chunx of yesterday. It is still surfable, yet small and crowded – unfortunately predicted to drop as the day progresses. On the bright side, it feels like summer with salubrious […]

Bondi 6:30am 3-4foot, quite straightYou could feel summer coming in air this morning. Loads of activity down Bondi – joggers, walkers, rollerbladers, surfers..The chill has disappeared and the sun was partly shining. Gentle offshore winds creating good surfaces for 3-4 foot bumps rolling into Bondeee. Only 1 thing missing – banks (standard). Real noice right […]

Bondi 7am – 3 foot all over the shopNothin’ much to get excited about this morning. Swell size has increased overnight producing waves around head high – but it’s seriously lacking shape. Really bumpy, messy & weak. Bit all over the shop. Not many crew out… Tomorrow is looking bigger (and hopefully better). Wind: S/SW […]

Bondi 3 foot – looking the goodsSensational sunny morning with clean head high waves pumpin’ into Bondi. This week’s south swell is hanging in there to produce some decent waves – worthy of a paddle. Big crew out at middle Bondi scoring some good lefts on a newly formed bank. Southern corner has nothing but […]

Bondi 7:20am – 3/4foot, messy but a couple coming throughHola Ninos! Rain has stopped this morning which allowed me to take a few snaps. All this rain…but in the wrong spot? How about a little in those damns. Swell has declined and now waves are up around the 3-4 foot mark from the south. Offshore […]

Bondi – 2-3 foot, quite straightHad to happen…yep, swell is on the decline after a sensational week of surfing. Still surfable today with the odd head high set out at Bondi, however suffering the lack of decent banks (broken record?). Couple of waves in the corner, but not as good as it’s been. Should have […]

Bondi 7am – 3 foot, fat and bit of fun. Aaaha. It arrived. Last night the swell picked up as predicted and we’ve got shoulder to head high waves at Bondi this morning. Quite a few crew out early this morning enjoying clean offshores and some fun waves. As mentioned in my past 10 reports, […]

Bondi 8:30am – knee high, straightThe waves have picked up slightly overnight, but before you get too excited, it’s gone from totally flat to knee to waist high. Bondi has absolutely no banks and it pretty much breaking straight, so best give it a miss. Winds are currently clean offshore – this is predicted to […]

Forecast: Thusday – flat like today Friday – Waves pick up slightly to 2 foot, small. Saturday same as Friday Sunday decent 3 footers at south facing wave magnets. […]

Curl Curl 6:30am small small smallWhat happened? Who turned the waves off? Yesterday was looking great and then the one day wonder swell ran away… Trying to spread the Bumps around the place and took a (early) drive to Curl Curl to see whether the south swell was getting in there. Nup. 6 guys out […]
