Bondi 7am – shoulder high, clean with offshoresFew clean shoulder high chunks arriving at Bondi this morning. An early offshore breeze provided a chance for the ocean to settle, but the 5:53am high tide promoted chubbiness and some disruptive backwash. Beach was empty…winds will come up from the south east later deteriorating the surfable conditions […]

Bondi 7:45am – ugly grey morning, messy waist highHiya. Peeping through the curtain at 6am this morning wasn’t doing it for me…dark grey overcast skies, rain, and onshore winds mincing up waist to shoulder high waves. Good morning to catch up on a few extra zz’s. Bondi has a small optimistic mob out…gettin’ the odd […]

Bondi 7am – pretty average. Weak wind swell closing out Splish splashin’ around the south end in search of something semi-decent…not much on offer with a locally generated east wind swell fondling our coastline…sets up around shoulder high, mostly shuttin’ down on a relatively shallow bank. Quite a few crew out enjoying our late summer […]

Bondi 7am – shoulder high sets, clean, closing out or fat Sorry for the late report today (no wasn’t surfing all morning -mowahahaha). Summery morning with clean waves down at Bondee this morning. Clear skies and reasonably clean conditions pushy the odd shoulder high set in the southern corner. Def. surfable. Bigger sets seem to […]

Bondi 7am – weak small waves… Hate to say it…but it was pretty lame this morning. Waves were breaking mostly around waist high down at Bondi…couple larger sets but nothin’ that would make you froth. Good day for beginners as it’s soft as… Overcast skies have broken our classic summer run as we head to […]

Hola Ninos, what a spectacular day! You’ve gotta love this time of year, water is still warm (22), clear skies, and Bondi switches into winter mode…tourism dies down, mornings are relatively chilled…yes, you might even start to find the odd car park. The waves were super clean with early NW offshore breezes. Smaller than yesterday… […]

Bondi 7am – head high sets, is okaah.Overnight increase in size has generated some fluffy head high chunks this morning down at Bondi. Looked quite fatty-boom-ba, but reasonably fun with a few on the left hand bank in the south and the occasional less frequent right peeling off the Icebergs bank. Morning crew enjoying the […]

Bondi 7am – book a holiday to indo Fresh S-S-easterlies dicing up the knee high wind dribbles down Bondi this morning. Not really much to ride at all…(despite the one wave I saw Robin on). Good day to clean off scabby old wax, fix dings from the weekends bingle, buy a new Aquabumps tee (now […]

Bondi 6am – super clean minis One could be convinced we’re bang in da middle of summer with a weekend like that. ROol noice. Few clean lil’ numbers rockn’ into Bondee early this morning… its only around waist high…but with 22 degree warm water, no wind, and a inferno sunrise – best lap it up. […]

Bondi 7am – nice morning, clean waves chest high inconsistentFun little waves around this morning. 7:50am high tide was getting the better of it creating fatness. Left in the south end was working on sets – fair bit of waiting around though…glorious morning, surprisingly after a massive down pour last night. Maximum of 24 degrees […]

Waves were lookin’ tidy dis morning, which is why I passed the camera over to renowned Sydney photographer Martin Mischkulnig to capture his point of view on our early morning Bondi activities. Here is what he came up with…Kombi is gold. Waves …yep, we’ve got a few hitting our chunk of the coast. Clean head […]

Its morning, I’d expected the same junkyard as the past couple of days under these grey skies. The south swell continues to pump into our shores; however an overnight offshore breeze has dressed up our head high sets into clean cut lines worthy of sliding. It looked inviting around 7am (or earlier) with a fullish […]

Bondi 7am – meaty onshore mushy chunksHow good was the weather on the weekend? Psycho Sydney switched into south storm mode this week with onshore SE winds and a meaty south swell. Most waves were wind affected this morning, creating uninviting conditions. You’d surf something around head high today on a south facing beach like […]

Bondi 7am – Plenty of swell. Clean. 2-3 metre facesExcuses to get out work today:"Must’ve eaten some bad chicken at dinner last night…there’s some explosive toilet action…think I need to have a lie down""I’m working from home today…got big proposal to get through…and my mobile is outta range at home – bugger""Being April fools, my […]

Bondi 7am – looking the goods. Head high. Clean. Tube sectionsLooking quite tasty this morning with head high clean waves breaking on multiple banks on Bondi. Southern corner has a sucky bank creating the odd pit under a very overcast morning. Swell is predicted to increase this afternoon for tomorrow. We’re gonna get some good […]

Bondi 7am – head high and bumpy Bondi was a hive of activity this morning with bootie camps, morning walkers/joggers, swimmers and surfers trying to suck in the last of the warm weather before entering our mild Sydney winter (max 21 degrees today). The surf was bit of a mush-fest, with stroppy head high chunx […]

Bondi 6:30am – head high, semi clean surfableHows yoouse dooin? Geez there has been some swell around the traps of late – love last week’s storm. Hope you scored on the Easter break. I’ve been hearing so many stories of epic waves from up and down the coast. I think I must have traveled the […]

The talk of the town today was this ferocious storm that has tormented New South Wales with gale force winds and relentless rain – brilliant isn’t it? It’s been going strong for about 24 hours now (it’s currently 10:30pm Wed) and the ocean has been enraged into spitting monster chunx – 6+ metre faces booming […]

Bondi 7am – onshore bumpy head high on sets, smaller than yesterday.The weather is about to explode. Sometime today a storm is going to hit from the south terrorizing Sydney with gale force southerly winds and flash flooding. You could get winds up to 50 knots tonight, so best secure that Barbie cover and park […]

At 6:40am my initial description would be random peaks, not really lining up and breaking well over head high on sets. You’d get the lucky odd one lining up…not going nuts but decent. However at 7:30am I witnessed a small pack hovering around a middle bank Bondi picking off some sweet lefties. Amongst a 6:15am […]

Bondi 7am – onshore ugly chunksThe beltn’ 30 knot southerlies are blowin’, agitating the seas for the past 24 hours. It’s the first day that you can feel a winter’s chill in the air (max 20)…time to dig out the woolies. This wind brings swell, well over head high down Bondi way. The persistent onshores […]

Thursday, March 17, 2005
Stood on the beach for 20 minutes at 8:30am and didn’t see anyone catch a wave. Guess that sums it up for ya. Beach was empty…thick clouds making it pretty dark to shoot anything of decent quality, rain wasn’t helping either…so I decided rather than show you borza shots of 3 guys bobbing up and […]

Wednesday, March 16, 2005
Hola Chicos, Not a pretty morning with corrupting onshore SE winds and a micro east wind swell. Quite a few keen early birds optimistically staring out to the horizon in search of some action (bit like Plummie down the pub). You’d have to be really keen or just starting out (torkin’ about the surf not […]

Maroubra 7am – small weak wind swell, surfable. Bit av.Quality summery morning with warm water, clear skies and gentle offshores. A locally generated ENE wind swell was trickling into Maroubra this morning dodging the south facing Booondhi. It’s really quite weak and small, around waist to chest(ish) high – you can surf it, and may […]

Bondi 7am – small surf under a glorious summers dayNo sign of a weakening summer as we cruise into a max temperature of 28 degrees today. How good was the weekend…me thinks some of the best weather so far this year. Why would you live anywhere else? (bias) On the surf front there isn’t a […]

Friday, March 11, 2005
Bondi 7:30am – expected better (eternal optimist). Onshore mushy chest highPersistent southerly winds continue to mushify chest high sets this morning. I expected it to be better…perhaps with the increase in swell size this afternoon and predicted NE wind stream we may see some joy. Looked weak and sloppy…suitable for a muck around only. 09:50 […]

Bondi 7:30am – messy onshore shoulder high mushYesterday’s chunky bits have been downgraded to shoulder high mush-burgers this morning down at Bondi. Howling (SE) onshore winds were corrupting any possibility of a clean face at 7am… looks like it will be the same for most of the day -‘ so crank some work out. Tomorrow […]

Bondi 7am head to head and half monster chunks, closing outDramatic increase in swell size this morning…some decent sized muthas pounding our beaches (hopefully renovating our sand banks). Swell is coming from the south, directly into Bondi closing out most of the bay. If you don’t mind paddling 20 minutes into monster foam balls to […]

Tuesday, March 08, 2005
Bondi 7am – smaller than yesterday – funAmongst a restless large morning crowd the south swell machine produced waves up around the chest high mark this morning down at Bondi. Some serious singeing dropins going down – think I might start up a ding repair business – loose boards everywhere. I’d suggest surfing the middle […]

Bondi 7:30am – sweet head high, super clean, sunny!Some days don’t you just wish you had no commitments, no job, no meetings, no mobile phones?…if this was the case I would be putting the new epoxy shooter in the back of the car, pull out onto the highway, elbow out the window and roll up […]

Bondi 8am – waist high, closing out. Sand banks required. Sorry about the late report (eeck)…This morning I dipped into the southern end of Bondi to find clean little waves which were predominantly closing out on a shallow bank (low tide at 9:46am). This ENE swell is not really doing much at Bondi, and would […]

Bondi 7:30am, head high on sets, bit bumpyYesterday’s southerly change stirred up some goodness delivering chest to head sets this morning. Nice surprise. Surface quality was quite bumpy with the slight onshorey…they didn’t seem to have a great deal of push behind them either…nonetheless, it’s probably the best it’s been all week (but that’s like […]

Wednesday, March 02, 2005
How Psycho is the weather today? This morning I woke to a burning inferno on the horizon and clear skies, and now as I write (1 hour later) am amidst a violent thunderstorm with drenching rain! Less activity in the ocean this morning as waves struggle to break above your knee caps. Even if you’re […]

Bondi 7am – knee high clean dribblesAfter a slight spike in swell height last night, it disappointingly dropped this morning and will continue to decline this afternoon. The outlook for surfing this week is poor with knee high waves (or less) predicted for most of it. Swell direction looks like it’s got a bit more […]

Monday, February 28, 2005
The weekend’s onshore dribbles continue today. BOO. You’d be lucky to have your board touch water over the past 3 days. So if you see an influx of crew at the skate park, or someone doing Reos off kerbs in the car on the way to work, or even a work mate who’s a little […]

Bondi 7am – smaller waist to belly high wavesAfter a hot muggy nights sleep, we’re blessed with a fireball sunrise and a hazy warm day. Surf has dropped marginally leaving belly high waves in the Bondi southern corner. Swell is coming from the east, not suited to Bondee…at east facing beaches you should find a […]

Bondi 7am – sweet lil’ rights, glassyIf I was a 12 year grommie this morning, I’d be stoked… Clean waist high to occasionally chest high waves rockin’ into the southern corner breaking right on a sucky, strong rip. Not much push behind those bad boys dis morn’ – enough to get going, but if you’re […]

Bondi 7am – waist to shoulder high, tide affectedHola. Disappointingly the swell decreased overnight leaving us with waist to shoulder high waves down at Bondi this morning. I will eat my words from yesterdays report – thinking the swell was gonna hang around. No such luck kiddies. It’s still fun and surfable, but the raw […]

Tuesday, February 22, 2005
Bondi 7am – Head high fun ones…Sorry for sending this out late…I’ve been frothn’ for the past 24hrs with the delivery of decent NE chunks. Last night’s session was all goooood. So many breaks would have been going off with solid size at NE exposed beaches. This morning down at Bondi we’ve got head high […]

Bondi 7am – clean shoulder high with slightly larger setsNot baaaaaad. Conditions cleaned up this morning. Bondi had a few head high sets early – looks like everyone was onto it with a large morning crowd. Due to the lack of waves over the past couple of weeks, lots of frustrated surfers trying to fulfill […]
