"This fog is from the butcher smoking his great hams," said one villager. "Can’t you smell them?" We woke to find ourselves shrouded in thick fog. So thick you can barely see 10 metres in front of you. Difficult to see out the back for sets…but I’m guessing it’s around knee to waist high and […]

If you were sitting on a rock in the south corner of Bondi at 6am you would’ve seen weak 1-2 footers infrequently breaking right. Small crew scrappin’ around enjoying summer-like conditions. Good for beginners. Winds are offshore and the flies have thinned out. Low tide 10:28 am, High tide 5pm. I reckon the morning will […]

Hola. Another cracker morning with sizzling sunshine. Yesterday’s chunky NE swell has dropped considerably leaving 2-3 foot scraps at exposed beaches. Bondi wasn’t drawing much at all…around 1- 2 foot and pretty weak. Good for the beginners. Max 26 degrees today. SW winds early tending NE this afternoon. Damn flies out-a-control…billions of them on our […]

Hot. Cooking morning with a true summer style bake early in the day – BOM say we’re going to hit 32 today. Now that’s what I like to see. 1,000,000 up early enjoying this weather down at 6:30am. Few waves around as well with a decent ENE swell rockin’ into Sydney at the moment. Bondi […]

The weekend’s north east swells continue to produce small but fun waves this morning. With this swell direction it’s bypassing Bondi and rockin’ into breaks such as the Bra. It’s a bit lumpy and not really lining up that well (morning sickness)… best surf somewhere with northern protection especially when the NE winds pick up […]

Pre-breakfast—–show-early one isn’t it? Swell has halved overnight, still leaving some fun ones with smooth surfaces. Loads of east origin in this swell, not best suiting Bondi, but a few sets over head high broke quite nicely in the south end (infrequent). I would head to a beach facing more east and surf early today […]

La Bondhi be pretty ugly this morning with rain, NE winds, and a confused ocean. Swell is coming from the east and waves are breaking around the 3-5 foot range. It’s a lil’ inconsistent at Bondi – probably due to the fact that it’s facing the wrong way…but there’s a few waves to be had. […]

Plenty of swell around the traps this morning. Looks like its going to get bigger this afternoon as well. Nuisance SE onshore winds were completely butchering it earlier today. With forecasted NE winds tomorrow, best wait until then… Today’s report comes from Manly, a beach normally best suited to blustery South East winds and a […]

South East wind is howling early this morning – pretty much mashin’ up anything surfable down at Bondee. Swell has come up as anticipated and still has quite a bit of east direction in it. Manly perhaps? Need something with serious protection from 20 knot onshores. It’s currently 3-4 foot and will increase to 5-6 […]

Always hard to get outa bed on a Monday morning…especially when it’s raining and the surf is crummy. If you did venture down to Bondi this morning you would have seen knee high weak dribbles under thick overcast skies and a light ENE wind. Geez it’s been pretty ordinary on the surf front lately… The […]

Well Bondi wasn’t exactly the land of excitement this morning. (Surf wise). Yesterday’s strong north easterly winds kicked up some locally generated north swell which totally bypasses Bondi. Bondi had knee high infrequent sets. Surf a beach facing the opposite direction and I think you’ll find the occasional waist to chest high wave. It’s lacking […]

There are waves. Little ones. Perfect for beginners. It’s cleaner than yesterday. Weaker. knee to waist high. It’s cloudy with NE winds. Winds will be quite strong this afternoon creating some choppy weak wind swell for tomorrow. Only 23 degrees today… Tomorrow a southern cold front will rock into town bringing rain and hopefully some […]

stark contrast to yesterday’s mighty fine conditions. Bit ugly out there this morning. We’ve got random, onshore, overcast mushy waves this morning. It’s only waist high (some bigger) and a bit all over the place. You’d really want to be keen to get out there…or bored. In saying all this, you’re probably looking at the […]

at 7am it’s offshore making for clean surf conditions (NE later) the sun is baking, no clouds and its going to be max 25 degrees. Summer is eminent. there’s a few waves around – 1-3 foot at south facing beaches (smaller than yesterday – but still fun) the water is cool, not freezing and yet […]

If you were down the beach yesterday, you would have seen conditions resembling a lake and probably doubtful of any sort of wave to start this week. Fortunately a nice little ground swell from south kicked up…producing waves at south facing beaches around 3-4 foot this morning. Offshore winds were keeping it neat early, before […]

Few fun lil’ waves around this morning down @ Bondi – shoulder high sets working on a couple of banks in the south end. At 6am it was closing out pretty straight, 7am better, 8am not bad rights and lefts – few bowly bits. Winds were offshore early (SW) and will swing onshore this afternoon […]

A temporary drop in swell overnight has left us with knee high dribbly bits this morning. Not much to shoot this a.m. under overcast skies and onshore winds. It’s only a short intermission before picking up again tomorrow afternoon…max head high forecasted. Could be SE onshores with tomorrow’s increase, but Saturday has W/NW wind pattern, […]

Hard to get work done on dayz like theze. The surf looked fun this morning, around waist to shoulder high & clean (early). Post 8am the NE winds played havoc and a 9am high tide contributed to wave weirdness. At 7am it was working on 3 banks…fat then sucky, then fat. NE winds aren’t too […]

How good was the weather on the weekend? Cookin’ beach day yesterday. Barely a ripple to speak of over the weekend. This week is looking promising with an overnight south change kickin’ up some swell for Bondi this morning. It’s really bumpy and all over the place, but at least it’s not flat. Waves were […]
