*thirtyThose recent good waves have faded a notch overnight. I went for a swim at lunch and this is what I saw at South Bondi…bright green clear water, sunshine, 1-2 foot waves, crowded and a big fat 30 degrees (how’s work peeps?). Joy beach day…water subtly cooler – but still very inviting. Clouds are starting […]

It’s no secret that Bondi was pretty damn good Bondi last night. Hundreds packed peaks along south Bondi – all 500 metres of it. Shallow bank in the south has been putting on a good show for a couple of weeks now. Well it’s still on today, half the size of last night – but […]

glassWhat began as a grey, humid, glassy morning with few surfers in the water has evolved into a 29 degree, sunny, cracker of a day. The waves have switched on…quite unpredictable at the moment with a swell increase last night. 3 foot glassy peaks along Bondi at the moment. Good rights in the south end […]

halfLotta sad faces around Bondi today as yesterday’s joy fades into a distant memory. So many places firing yesterday – hell – fat tubes at Bondi on the corner bank?!#@ Today’s half the size’‘n’half as clean with half as many out. 2 foot weak fat bits broke in the south earlier (8am). Maybe a lower […]

Since my neighbour Cakey thinks he’s Corey Worthington and kept me awake all night with his mid-week party – well at least Corey has more than 1 friend – whatever – I was up for the early. Real early. And that ended up being a good thing – see, in the 1st 10 minutes of […]

Quite an eventful morning. BREAKING NEWS: Not only is it 6 foot with larger bomb sets, a dead body has been spotted floating off the south end of Bondi. Unconfirmed reports say it was a surfer, with leg rope and board attached – could have been early morning surfer or last night’s sess. Police choppers, […]

big is not always best The howling southerly winds have subsided this morning, making for surfable conditions early down at Bondi. Swell dramatically increased yesterday afternoon…so now it’s up around 4-6 foot range. So it’s big, quite solid…but it ain’t pretty. Bondi was very random, bumpy, peaky and not really holding up that great. The […]

You don’t have to be too cluey to work out the waves aren’t so great this morning. The overnight south change brought rain, wind and 2 foot slop. Bugger. The good news is that the 30 knots of howl is creating swell. This afternoon it will dramatically increase in size. Tomorrow is still onshore, but […]

chewedThe waves are all chewed up from this onshore wind – but at least there are waves around – 3 foot. Only a few guys out catching little froth balls – they don’t look like they’re enjoying themselves a great deal. This onshore should swing tomorrow afternoon. So best wait until it cleans itself up. […]

howling messAs predicted the violent south change rocked Sydney yesterday around 5pm. It’s quite incredible how it goes from nought to 30 knots in a matter of minutes. From the gallery I saw all matter of objects tumble weeding down the road. This southerly is shredding the 3 foot waves on offer. No one out […]

There is a lot to like about today. It’s a combo of that fat 30 degrees we have forecasted, nice 2-3 foot clean waves at the Bra and a salubrious 22 degree water temp. This pretty picture ain’t gonna last though. Typically after a hot day a sever 30 knot south change will hit (tonight) […]

sssshWinds backed right off. Swell has one or two feet on it since shooting this morning at 7am. (now 4 foot). 8 guys out. Um…bye gotta run – a long meeting can’t be contacted and gallery shut. uge

The swell came with the storms last night…but so did its buddy the wind. 25 knots of southerly are currently making a mess of things. Its predicted to back off to 15 knots this afternoon and even less tomorrow, so hopefully the 3 footers will clean themselves up in 24hrs. But right now – only […]

foamies Well we finish up this week on another 1-2 foot dribbly surf day down at Bondi. Its hardly surfable – but if you were to wrestle a foamie off a small child you would do something like the above. Coolites – Hell I can’t ride those things. Like driving a car without a steering […]

hotDamn hot. Cook things in your pants hot. Muggy. Damn muggy. Singapore style. Damn no waves either. 1 foot dribbly floppy bits suitable for a 1st timer. I spy a new swell on the 14th Jan (Monday – ENE swell with south winds). In the mean time stay cool. Go swim with the other 30,000 […]

At first glance of Bondi this morning you would use words like unsurfable, dribbles, learners day, baaah, overcast ankle biters. But wait long enough and a waist to chest high wave will rock into the southern corner allowing one maybe two turns. Its far removed from the weekend’s joy, but if you’re still on holidays […]

fatboysIt appears that last’s weeks persistent east swells have finally faded. We had a good run though… Today it was a dribbly 2 foot…bit bumpy as well. The morning high tide was fattening up anything resembling a wave. Perhaps closer to the 3:45pm low tide you might see a slight improvement – hell the sun […]

tork it up. Hope you had a good break. So much tork of good surf lately – well hasn’t 2008 started on the right foot. But my first day in town I only saw 2-3 foot, high tide fatties in the south of Bondi. ENE exposed breaks around the corner had onshore wind issues – […]

2008Hey Happy New Year!…may 2008 bring you another year of good waves. I don’t normally kick off Aquabumps until the second week of Jan but we’ve got a big NE swell hitting NSW at the moment, generated from a intense low hanging around Queensland. It’s quite spectacular – I hear most Sydney beaches are closed […]
