Bondi 7am – head high onshore chunkstersYesterday’s strong southerly winds kicked up some chunx worth a dabble dis morning. The southerly weather pattern continues to mess it up with early onshores, but you’d still find a few faces to slide down. Majority of the waves were a lil’ on the burgerish side, however a southern […]

Bondi 7am – good day to crank out the workToday’s conditions are quiet dire with a miniscule weak swell pumping baby ripples into the bay. Verging on unrideable, today’s Bondi bumps are best suited to the 1st time surfer. I think Even Marky Mark put the board away and opted for the sleep in. (now […]

Bondi 7am – big waves behind the Manly jetcat A glorious burning 6:20am sunrise kick started the day whilst early morning exercise fanatics panic at the apparent shortening of daylight. Bondi was a hive of activity at 6:30am. Our favourite beach was good for everything except surfing today. Ripples struggled to break above your knee […]

Bondi 6:30am clean chest high, bad banksGreetings crew…The surf conditions have improved from yesterdays onshore grovel. We’ve got clean chest high waves at Bondi this morning. Didn’t seem to have much push behind it probably due to a short interval and was hittn’ the banks straight. Nonetheless it was a great warm morning with clear […]

Bondi 7am – surfable shoulder high waves, bit messyAfter an ordinary week of surfing, this morning showed slight improvement with messy shoulder high sets. Light winds at 7am and will blow SE then swing back around the NE later this evening. Quite a few crew out getting their ocean fix for the day. The 11:02 […]

Bondi 7am – onshore washing machine, shoulder high setsSloppy, grey, onshore, dreary, ugly, mushy, fat, messy, botchy, disheveled, disorderly, higgledy-piggledy, jumbled, windy, crummy…and around shoulder high on sets. The onshore is making mince meat out of anything worth riding. Winds blowing ESE 15 knots possibly 20 knots later. Swell coming from the South East now. […]

Today’s report & photos by Mark Wiesmayr – Tsubi DesignerDang! It didn’t happen. Got asked to do a guest editor spot on the ‘Bumps, and was so excited (typically). Heard there was a little spike of swell expected for today, so ensured I had crew there to surf, and hot chicks to run the sand […]

Bondi 7am – small waist to shoulder high waves, glorious daySurprise surprise…last night we were thrown some small clean chunks well worth a paddle (not sure where they came from). Bondi looked like fun at around 8pm last night. This morning’s 1.96 metre mega high tide at 08:34am transformed most bumps in fat burgers, however […]

Bondi 7am – great morning, full small shoreyWhat a great morning to start the week. Perfectly sunny with gentle offshore breezes. The lack of swell continues from the weekend only managing waist high ‘shore slappers’ (I’m torkin’ waves here boyz…). A 07:36am high tide made absolute fattie boom-baaas of anything resembling a wave. Perhaps the […]

Hola. Swell continues from the east, but hardly producing anything surfable this morning. Decided to go for a swim on a deserted beach at sunrise (noice). Found a sensational stretch of liquid glass that I reckon would pump with a bit of swell. Small bank in the northern corner with peeling waist high waves. I’m […]

Howdy Kids…yep, I’m still out of town and it’s been pumpin’. Swell is smaller today but still generously sized. Scored head – head’n’half tubing glass early. Thought I had gone to heaven. Swell is coming from the east and winds will blow NE 15 knots this afternoon. The word on the street is that Bondi’s […]

Firstly I would like to apologise to all of those crew sitting in an office amongst the concrete jungle. You may even prefer to close this email right now before reading any further…and just pretend you never saw it. The reason being, I’ve taken some time off and decided to take a road trip in […]

Bondi 7am — bumpy head high setsHowdy. There be a chunky east swell hittn’ dem shores at the moment. It’s picked overnight and you’ll find waves 1.5 x head high at East exposed beaches. Bondi was smaller than all the other beaches with a few little fun ones in the southern corner amongst a relatively […]

Bondi 7am – slightly bumpy chest to head high sets. Hmmn. Not bad…Few hangovers going around this morning following our mid week public holiday. Hope you had a great Aussie day – saw crew boozing down Tama Park at 9am yesterday (and it wasn’t Ness for a change). The beaches were relatively empty for a […]

Bondi 7am – waist to shoulder high onshore mushGreetings Ninos. The swell has come up marginally over night, but it’s a weak wind swell flanked by a nuisance onshore easterly wind. Easterlies pretty much effect most beaches collecting any sniff of today’s small swell…summary – junky. The good news is that we are in for […]

Marourbra 7am – head high plus and looking tasty I woke to a playground of perfectly clean over head high waves. Iiiiikaruuumba! The sun is shining, its warm, you can surf in boardies and any beach facing east or north east should be pumping. This morning glory is to be short-lived unfortunately as a predicted […]

Bondi 7am – FughedabouditHowdy. Not looking to flash for a surf today. Swell is now coming from the ENE and is missing Bondi. Even at beaches facing the swell will be struggling to produce a wave over chest high. It’s a weak wind swell and lacking the grunt. The good news is its going to […]

Bondi 7am – very small, clean and sunny. Pure gold morning. Best ever…but I say that around 3 times a week. Sunshine is blanketing Bondi this morning, very little wind, and even less swell. Yep, it’s micro and probably best suited to beginners. Perfect day for a laze down the beach before the North easter […]

Bondi 7am – junky waist to shoulder high After a winter’s day yesterday, we’ve now got sunshine and clearing skies. The 2 days worth of howling southerlies have stirred up some swell which peaked last night before dropping considerably for the early this morning. Onshore SE wind of 15 knots mashing any quality rolling into […]

Bondi 7am – north swell not touching Bondi The north swell machine continues to roll past Bondi today…south facing beaches barely picking up a knee high wave. Loads of crew bobbing up and down nonetheless, optimistically. This north swell is getting bigger so any beach facing north (or even east) would have a few on […]

Bondi 7am – nope, nothing to see here.Aloha! The wind swell is coming from the NE and missing Bondi. With the combination of early onshore winds it’s not looking to flash at all this morning. Bondi has knee high dribbles not worthy of a paddle unless you’re just starting out. Wind is currently 15/20 knots […]

Bondi 7am – wind swell, micro, beginner’s day The swell has dropped overnight leaving only waves suitable for beginners this morning at Bondi. 2 billion people out enjoying the morning sunshine and warm water temperatures. Large pack on mals in da middle seeking anything above knee high bumps (optimistic). Weather is going to cook, reaching […]

Bondi 6am – much smaller, but cleaner. V.crowdedOpps…Sorry – late report today…(nope no surfing for moi)…Bondi was filled with sunshine (and people) this morning. The south swell has backed off only pushing knee to shoulder high waves into the bay. This didn’t put off a huge crowd scufflin’ to get their share of the pie. […]

Bondi 7am – bumpy fat burgerlandBondi is picking up the best of this south swell with waves over head high on sets. The annoying Easterly winds continue for the third day, making bumpy surfaces. Easterlies seem to get in every nook and cranny of Sydney. Later today we’re expecting a northerly shift in wind direction […]

Bondi 7:30am – bigger (slightly) and bumpy with onshoresThe good news is that the swell has come up slightly overnight. The bad news is the South easterlies came with it producing junky/bumpy surf at Bondi this morning. Expect waves around waist to shoulder high at South facing beaches, which hopefully will get bigger as the […]

Bondi 6:30am – better waves in my hairAloha. It’s perfect. Perfectly flat and sunny that is. The shots today are a little misleading, as I waited around 20 minutes for a decent set to roll through which could only be ridden on a mal/jetski/surf ski/rescue board/Tana’s speed boat/hand pod/lylo/submarine/dolphin…so best grab the beach umbrella, a […]

Bondi 9am – knee high dribbly bits, nice day!Hello.. Welcome back to another year of the bumps! To kick the year off we’re blessed with sensational sunny weather, and light offshore winds. Swell direction has swung from south east to north east. The only missing ingredients – swell size + power. So dribbly knee high […]
