The monsters swells returned to Sydney over the weekend – and everyone is talking about it. Not as big as the beefcakes of 2 weeks ago – but still very solid. Yesterday Wedding Cake Island, Coogee, was the tow hot spot with hundreds of onlookers as a few skis whipped their buddies into water mountains. […]

She’s arrived…early in fact…and she’s real pruuuddy. She’s a perfect height; she’s got nice lines, very consistent, smooth and she’s packing some heat. 4 foot sets, SW offshores and sunshine make for a good day out in the water. 1 important ingredient missing down at Bondi – sand banks – it’s straight as. Bake it […]

Howling chilly offshores have beaten the swell flat overnight. At 6:30am there wasn’t much to ride at all, however it seems to have come up slightly since then – from 1 inch up to waist high (?). Still think you should fugehtiboutit. The crystal ball sees more big mutha chunks on their way. Tomorrow will […]

This time of year is just perfect. Water is still warm, the air is clean and lengthy periods of no wind. Monday’s booming swell has now subsided. That didn’t deter 10,000 frothas out at Bondi this morning enjoying the salubrious weather and fighting for waist high waves (10 per wave). It’s a day for the […]

You can always tell there are a few waves around when the car park is full before sunrise – hootin’ mad frothas dangling out of car windows with roofs packed of surfable contraptions. She’s clean, She’s much smaller than yesterday, around head high – enticing…ya…but quite straight on the early morning low tide. (low 7:18am) […]

The gods have delivered once again – a succulent concoction of chunky south swell with some gentle offshore winds…add a bit of sunshine….throw in some warm water and weekday minimal crowd factor – how good. South facing Bondi was captivating the most of this swell – however the banks weren’t holding up producing mostly close […]

The oceans have settled under overcast skies today. Bondi was drawing the most out of this micro-south swell, breaking around waist to chest high in the southern corner. Dark morning as we’re about to switch day light saving hours this weekend. Currently glassy conditions prevail with the chance of a North-Easter later today. Yeah its […]

In a recent Aquabumps survey 90% said they look at this report cause of the photos. So I could probably get away with writing anything in here, talking about yo mama, panel van exhaust pipes or where to find da best snitzchel in Sydney. So for today I’ll let the images do the talking – […]

Pretty incredible couple of days. Today is bit of an anti climax after yesterdays thunder bumps. It’s dropped a heap and onshore…so best surf something with protection from the SE winds (e.g. Manly). Bondi was around 4 – 6 foot and very full – probably better suited to the lower tide. Clouds have smothered Sydney […]

The gods have favoured us over the past 24 hours with some of the most spectacular swells we’ve seen in a long time. Everyone is talking about it…the coffee dude, the cabbeys, the frothas in the car park, the school kids, the mums with prams…it’s big…real big and solid…coming in from the east thanks to […]

Car broke down, ear infection, train strike, thought it was Sunday (der), working from home, got a blue bottle wrapped around your neck, bad chicken, got speared by a kamikaze back packer at south Bondi, mum dropped in for a surprise visit…all good excuses to throw a sickie today even if it’s Monday and we’re […]

Not much honk in the tonk this morning. Swell has dropped and the devilish good-for-nothin’ east south east wind is currently blowing creating bumpiness. You’ll still find a surfable chest high wave and a pretty unoccupied peak more towards the middle of Bondi beach. Confucius say work hard now and reap the benefits of the […]

It’s one of those mornings where you would peek through your blinds, see the greyness, the dribbly rain and hit the snooze button. However if you dragged yourself outta bed you would have found playful, small chest high sets, super clean (7am), breaking at mid Bond*age under a unique sunrise. Another observation would be the […]

Gee these surf reports are arriving late nowadays eh. Today’s surf report comes from peaceful Avalon where waves were around waist to chest high this morning – and the odd set larger. The overnight-wind generated swell didn’t have a great deal of grunt, but it was clean and playful in the south end. The rest […]

We all know when the southerly has been howling overnight we can expect the surf in the morning to be a) bumpy b) bigger they yesterday c) probably overcast and the heavens will more than likely dribble on us. It’s surfable with the odd crumbling pocket around head high at Bondi (4 people out at […]

Crazy 24 hours down the beaches. Na not the surf – pretty lame in that department. Last night 50 feet off the Icebergs pool, a lone 8 foot Bronze Whaler Shark sniffed around – scaring the crackers out of young 15 year old surfer Blake – giving him a little nudge off his board. "Lot […]

I would compare today’s surf to a 10-dollar no-names chicken schnitzel. It didn’t look that crash hot when it’s flung on ya table 5 seconds after ordering it from a Brazilian back packer – but half way through it you’re thinking – dang – that plastic cheese is hitting the spot. Mostly small waist to […]

One word. Mushville. There is bad and then there’s real bad. Both thumbs down. Last nights south change has blown disappointment into town – disheveled onshore wind chop trying to be a wind swell just ain’t cutting it. So expect knee to waist high ocean chop. Surely there is better stuff you could be doing. […]

Heavenly morning conditions with a burning sunrise, glassy surfaces, warm water, an absence of blueys and small but fun inconsistent shoulder high wave. Large lulls in between sets that may test the patience at times, and some of the sets were kinda fat with an early morning high tide, but a special way to start […]

Went sour pretty quick. After two days of salubrious surf conditions we’re left with small onshore junk this morning. It’s surfable this morning down at Bondi with sets around shoulder to occasionally head high – but she pretty bumpy and unpredictable with an early south easterly wind knocking the quality out of it. High tide […]

Even with a decrease in swell height this morning we’re still got some meaty chunks rocking into Bondi. Sets are up around 4-5 foot solid, with the odd set bigger in the southern end. There is absolutely nothing for it to break on – and is pretty much shutting down straight with no escape. Dragged […]

Haven’t seen one of those in a while – a decent sized chunk at Bondi. Shame there’s nothing for it to break on. The swell has kicked up quite a few notches and you’ll find bombers out the back breaking 5-6 foot. They’re pretty fat out the back and shutting down once they hit the […]

Peering through the bedroom blinds at 6am to a nice surprise…south swell…solid…offshore…barely anyone out. Splash a bit of water on the face to make sure I ain’t sleep walking. Nope. It’s still looks pretty good. Last night’s cool south change came through with the goods and is producing waves at Bondi over head high. It’s […]

Gods created so many cool things: Lance’s Right, Angelina Jolie, Pistachio Gelato, Boranup Forest, Telescopes, Danny Howells….but what was he thinking when he invented the BLUE BOTTLE. The lil’ creepy fugly beasties just drift into bays lashin’ victims like a loose electric cable. Yesterday a huge swam hit our beaches clearing the peak…damn blue aliens […]

Hard to get amped about random onshore-blue bottle riddled overcast bond*age today. Odd peak at 2nd ramps worth decimating, but she’s wonky and unpredictable with most chunks eventuating into a close out. So what does that all mean? – is average and you’d have to be a frotha. The swell has come up quite a […]

More swell sliding into Bondi this morning with waves around shoulder to occasionally head high. Ocean looks a little confused with some east/south swell combo smothered with onshore SE winds. You’d get the odd wave if you played your cards right. 10:50 high tide, 17:09 low tide. Dark morning with virtually no light until 7:30am […]

The east swell continues…as it rocks on past south facing Bondi into more exposed beaches. Bra, Whaley should be showing something with head high sets. Bondi was knee high, overcast and wonky at 7am. Sometimes a decent left on the middle bank against a rip, but you’ve probably got more important things to do. It’s […]

This morning’s improved conditions revealed waist – sometimes shoulder high fatty bumps at Bondi this morning. The early morning high tide (9:20am) porked out any decent chunk – the 4 o’clock low tide diet pills required. Approximately 40 guys spread along the length of the beach enjoying a decent sunrise and relatively still conditions. Winds […]

New swell from the south has kicked in…But so has the onshore SE winds from last nights storm (spectacular lightning show). This morning Bondi was pretty butchered with this wind. Only a few frothas out optimistically seeking random peaks – not much coming thru. Very full morning tides (High tide 08:27), Low tide 15:04. Let’s […]

Have to say it’s better than yesterday, but still not good enough. The swell was lining up slightly better but still breaking around knee to shoulder high with a freak head high set that Robin caught. Bumps are currently coming from the east. Fine day with heaps of sunshine and a tasty 27 degrees. Moderate […]

It’s pretty bad. Actually real bad…knee high crumbly bumps littered with blueys and onshore. I’m not really painting a great picture – she ain’t pretty. Weather doesn’t look too bad, partly cloudy with 25 degrees and east to south east winds. I don’t even recommend swimming unless you like the tickle of a bluey wrapped […]

What’s the surf doing? Not much. The swell has dropped a couple of gears and is dribbling in from the east. South facing Bond-age ain’t privy to such energy breaking only around da knee caps. Exposed beaches should pull waist to shoulder high with a decent SW early offshore. Winds will swing East – perhaps […]

Swell machine has pumped up a couple of notches – and the wind came with it bashin’ quality out of any moving morning chunk. Waves are around 2-3 foot (odd bigger one), onshore sloppy jalopy. It’s surfable, but random – so only keen frotha’s will enjoy. The sun is shining as we’re going to hit […]

Highly sought-after golden light sparked up this morning, making shooting a pleasure. A trickling NE swell currently flirts with us – offering knee to waist high waves at exposed beaches such as the Bra. Super clean conditions, with gentle NW winds and deluxe 23 degree water. Waves are surfable, but they’re not packing much. Winds […]

I would love to say it’s crankin, drop work, hit the coast. But no such luck. It’s micro and muggy and it doesn’t look like its going to change until the weekend. We’ve got a 27 degree day ahead of us with NE winds. Could be the odd thunderstorm to top it off. High tide […]

Nothing exciting happening down the beach this morning – nothing except for a classy sunrise which has been lacking of late. Waves have dramatically dropped and knee high dribbles is about all you’d score. Glassy conditions with little or no wind early, which will blow NE this afternoon. Only 26 degrees with cloudy periods and […]

Greetings. The swell is now coming from the south and Bond-age is picking up the best of it. The annoying east wind is making it sloppy though – hard to hide from this wind direction, so you won’t find any cleanliness today. Couple of sets around 3 foot. Mega rip in the south end kept […]

Hello. Today’s small NE swell ain’t doin’it at Bondi. Best check out something more exposed to the NE direction (e.g. Bra, Whaley,). Bondi was only pulling knee cappers best suited for a swim or 8 year old groms (e.g. Frothn’ Beo). Sensational sunny morning, warm water, heading to a top of 26 degrees today. South […]

Was going to write a witty(ish) detailed report – but it’s too late in the day for that. So here is the 5 sec report. There are waves. They’re decent size (3-4 foot). But it’s totally shutting down straight. We need better sand banks. Suns out. Hot 31 today. Clouds coming. NE winds. Swell is […]

After yesterdays howling southerlies we’ve got waves this morning down at Bondi. Its rating decent on the grunt-ometer with waves breaking 4 foot with larger sets (perhaps 5ft). Only one problem – it was mainly shutting down at 7:30am and looking a bit random. In saying that I did see the odd boffable section with […]
