arrival.That storm sure did whip of some size. Bondi was breaking out the back around 5-6 foot solid. Pitty there wasn’t anything decent for them to break on. Most sets broke straight barely allowing a single turn. The inside corner in the south had a few frothas hackin’ sucky bank. I would drive…and find a […]

fog.On the other side of that fog curtain it could have been 6 foot & pumping…and no one would have even known. But its not. Its 1 foot and weak under a slab of FOG. Hard to see more than 5 metres in front of you. Best wait ’til later… blow.The southerly hit at 8:40am […]

Not short on people down the beach this morning. Thousands of them buffing up for the summer onslaught. Definitely short in the wave department with knee to waist high weak dribbling bits. A day for the beginners. Today will cook to 35 degrees before a south change nemesis cools it down overnight. Fortunately this change […]

So you’re a bit bored of 1 foot overcast dribbles? I hear ya pain. Well for today’s batch I’ve thrown in some drunken backpackers making out after a big night. Yup… summer is definitely here when a pissed guy missing a shoe asks for a light as I duck under for a morning swim. (was […]

Junkyard. Well can’t be good everyday. Early SE winds made a mess of what little swell is around. Weak waist high waves broke randomly mid to south Bondi this morning. Wind will swing NE in the afternoon which will make for a good swim especially if it gets up to the predicted 27. High tide […]

If you were down the beach yesterday at 5pm you would have gone from sizzling beef to chilled crumbed sausages in 30 seconds flat. Yep that violent south change exploded and evacuated 2,000 from Bondi beach in under 10 minutes. That south change brought a mini south swell for today. You’ll find rides approximately 2-3 […]

chinas. Remember those sizzling beef dishes at ya local Chinese restaurant called Golden something? Golden Wok, Golden Eagle, Golden palace whatever …all kitted out pagoda style and riddled with msg? well that sizzling beef dish best describes today. ‘Cause its hot. Damn hot. You can feel it em dem bones at 5:30am. A super sweet […]

Sizzle. She’s gonna be a hot one that’s for shizza. Some say dirty thirty-3 and a crackin’ thirty-8 tomorrow. A time to hit the beach for a lazy dip as there’s no surf to discuss. In fact tomorrow is the only hope of a small wind wave (2 foot). I knew I moved the gallery […]

Perfect day…for wake boarding that is… Barely a rideable ripple at Bondi early this morning. Salubrious morning with warm weather, warm water and a cracker sunrise to boot. Fine day heading in the direction of 29 fat ones. Forget surfing this week, its micro Mon-Fri. Go swim. SOLES FOR THE SOUL :: 23rd Nov at […]

What a weird day yesterday huh. Ferocious southerlies ripping through Sydney with a chill that bites deep. Thankfully that’s all over now, and we’ve got a few bumpy rides around the joint. You’ll find 3 footers with heaps of wobble after yesterday’s storm agitation. Still very surfable. Winds are currently strong S/SW which will ease […]

Brrrrr. Looking out the car window I saw some decent chunks rockin’ into Bondi with only a couple of lone wolves sampling the lefts in the corner. Some sets are up around 4 foot with the standard Bondi chubbiness. This grey cold weather ain’t doing much for us though. SMH reports that it’s the coldest […]

Things are a bit volatile at the moment. Weather and surf is changing by the hour. Really hard to pick. I expected it to be bigger this morning (3ftish), but it was like a lake. Yesterdays winds swung around to the north making for a good arvo session, but now the swell has done a […]

A brand spankin’ new south swell sparks into Sydney after that cooling overnight front. The swell is still wobbly and unsettled, but by the time the winds swing from the SW around to the NE it should get more organized. Sets out the back were around head high, and pretty random. The mid-to-south corner had […]

Now that’s what I call a weekend. Perfect weather, warm and a few small waves around the traps… Today you’ll find knee cappers out at Bondi, perfect for beginners – there isn’t too many other options either. So it’s a work day… Tomorrow should see a slight increase in swell (it can’t get any smaller), […]

Yeeeeeeha. Finally. The weather has cleared and the south swell continues (half the size of yesterday though). The winds have also swung into the favourable northerly direction. Bondi was fun at 7am, but mostly closing out (3ft). Should you hang out towards the 11:30am high tide it will get much much better. Low tide 5am, […]

Nope the picture above isn’t from today…wish… If these bad conditions continue my archives are going to run thin. Well it’s onshore as expected with a large increase in swell size. I saw sets up around 6 foot out the back, but it’s a total frothn’ mess – only one helmeted lone wolf trying to […]

Not a bad call on Pop Rock yesterday…if only I put $10,000 on the place. Lost by a whisker dammit. Celebrated like it won anyway with 9 million other messy mutes…there’d be some sore heads around the offices today! The waves are very average today. Mush. Could have been better earlier, but the midday report […]

There’s a heap of swell around this morning, but it’s so unpredictable – bit like the Melbourne cup – anything could happen. My money is on Pop Rock…but I have no idea really. Waves broke around 4 foot with 6 foot sets out the back at Bondage this morning (hey Andrew g – you’re calling […]

Come in, come in. Yes, lie down on the couch. Comfortable? Good, let’s begin. Today, I’d like to talk about this massive low that is haunting us over the past few days. Sou-easter onshore winds are terrorizing 4-6 foot chunks out at Bondi. It’s a complete mess again and we’re all going a little mental. […]

Not much cooking in our district. Best head down to the Bra or an east facing beach with banks. Currently we’ve got a 1.5 metre NE swell, nothing at Bondi, south change around lunch time bringing rain, onshore southerly winds all weekend, swell increase Sunday afternoon to 4ft. Not too flash until then… Since there’s […]

Some days if you’re patient enough a wave will come. Today you’d rock down the beach and think not much is happening…well it is tiny, but every half hour or so you might get lucky with a chest high set that doesn’t require diet pills. The 1m swell is out of the E/NE and best […]

Waist high wind swell dribbly bits. Onshore. The overnight cooling southerly winds have kicked in. Waves are being generated by a local NE (1.5m) wind swell that lacks grunt. Nothing at all to get excited about. Especially at south facing beaches such as Bondi. East facing beaches would be more suitable e.g. Bra, Whaley… Expect […]
