Still hanging on the west coast of Australia, we’ve got another all-day-offshore-affair with 3 footers in the Perth metro. Down south would be smokin’ right now…but there are still plenty of uncrowded waves very close to the city. Take this little right hander for example…no one out when we pulled up at 7:30am. Every few […]

I’m currently in Perth. Now the Perth metro area isn’t famous for good waves. Not like Margaret River or up North. So when my old mate, Young Bull, called up to say its cranking in Perth, I gave him the ‘ok buddy – sure thing – whatever’ and headed down the beach thinking a nice […]

Just like yesterday the waves continue to pump into Sydney. Smidge smaller today and quite a bit wonkier. 4-5 foot. That howling westerlie continues to blow offshore and snap freeze anything in its path – damn it was cold down the beach this morning. This week we’ve got waves every day and dropping for the […]

Today is one of those days that’s going to be hard to concentrate on work. Looking at the walls of your cubicle, fiddling with your pen – do another lap of the office floor with that blank piece of paper… in the back of your head you know it’s clear skies outside, the sun is […]

Such a dark morning was kinda hard peeling yourself out of bed (let alone shoot any decent pics). When you got down to Bondi at 7am it was much smaller and weaker than yesterday. Guess this is because the swell direction has swung to East and better suiting joints like Maroubra. It is still more […]

3 distinct peaks were working at Bondi this morning. Overnight it had dropped in size (now 2-3 foot), but its cleaner and lining quite nicely. Large pack of hungry wolves up for the early though, I’d say be patient, wait until everyone wonders off to work and yee shall score. Tomorrow should be very similar […]

Happy days down at Bondi this morning. I’d say there would be a few people late for work. The winds are perfectly offshore (W) and the swell has settled. 3-4 footers are on offer and the sunshine has decided to join the party. Nice little section on the left in the middle of Bondi. Good […]

4-5 footers fumbling into Bondi this morning around 7am. Fortunately that wintery southerly howl has subsided as well, allowing the waves to line up a bit better. Only 4 guys out…there is definitely some decent waves to be had. I would probably hunt north side as there is more options and probably cleaner (e.g. Manly). […]

Some meaty chunks rocking around Sydney at the moment. One of the biggest swells of 2008. Shame that the 8 foot sets at Bondi are flanked by a 20-30 knot southerly – making it a mess of things. Bondi to Maroubra has limited options, you’ll need decent protection from the southerly (e.g. Bronte or South […]

Still a small up here in the Maldives…we’re finding the odd 3 footer. Water is sensational. Bondi looked good yesterday morning, but since then it would be getting smaller. Pretty micro until the end of the week. Random Maldives Facts: The Maldives lie 400 nautical miles south of the south western tip of Sri Lanka. […]

Sounds like Bondi is pretty flat today (1ft max), just like over here in the Maldives. Looks small in Sydney until Saturday where are very large south swell is brewing. With all this flatness, I thought I’d look into how the Maldives were formed. There are conflicting theories on how these atolls came about, but […]

Often you see paradise pictures on postcards, coasters, in mags and wonder – where the hell is that? Chances are it’s from the beautiful Maldives. Over 1,200 islands litter this archipelago and they are consistently picturesque with clean sand, palm trees and dreamy blue water. We’ve headed out of the main area (where there are […]

This week starts off pretty lame in comparison to last week’s gold. I only saw 1 guy paddling out at Bondi earlier today – so that says it all. 1-2 foot of dribbly bits today as that forecasted small ENE swell didn’t really eventuate. Fortunately mid this week you’ll find good waves (3-4 foot) from […]
