Not a great deal going on today apart from this glorious weather. (max 19) Waves at Bondi were half a foot to a foot. There should be a slight swell increase as the day progresses, but nothing too substantial. Friday is the big day this week. Today’s Aquabumps is still coming from a little town […]

Today had the makings of a great surf day down at Bondi. Brand spankin’ new dead south swell, short swell period so it could hit the south bank in a good direction, winds we perfectly offshore (w) and no one around ’cause its chilly. BUT, it’s not happening. Its showing signs of morning sickness due […]

Thank you for your email. I will be out of the office today as there is a lil’ 2-3 foot fun right hander in the middle of the beach at Bondi. The sunshine has also returned after a brief spit of rain overnight. Winds are a bonus SW (but will blow 20 knots later today […]

No real waves down the beach today – but the weather is making up for it. Are you kiddin’ – 24 degrees right now. Freak weather. Bondi is teeming with activity as everyone wagged work to spend the afternoon in the sun. How is the view from you cubicle – like this? The water is […]

The incredible winter weather continues today. A sun baked morning down at Bondi with rich light and a small, but rideable 2 foot right hander in the middle. Yesterday’s south swell has fallen thru. It wasn’t too bad yesterday on the low tide as hollow mini-pipes slapped against a very shallow bank. Gotta hate school […]

Crispy clear morning down at Bondi. The 6:25am high tide was sure to hide any of the current small SSE ground swell. Mainly 2 foot with the odd 3 foot set if you waited long enough. Nothing really special to report as most sets closed out or were super fat. Favourable NW winds today and […]

On this very cold day there is a wind wave on offer down at Bondi – within the 2-3 foot range and barely anyone out. Far from perfect with a flanking SE onshore putting some wobbles in the already choppy conditions – nonetheless its surfable. (note the swell period is only 7 secs – weak!) […]

At 5pm today Bondi put on a pretty incredible sunset. At first a large cloud rolled over the bay – black and full of moisture. Then moments later a big burst of light lit up Bondi – baking the skies bright red like I’ve never seen before…throw in a couple of rainbows for good measure […]

With the earth quake off New Zealand last night we’ve still got a Tsunami warning along our coastline. It couldn’t be any flatter though…dead calm. Bondi had a 1-2 foot dribble that wasn’t very exciting to watch. Yawn. The storms on the horizon were probably the most entertaining thing down the beach this morning. Thick […]

The short-lived east swell has evapourated and now we’ve just got little knee high dribbles. Bondi was probably the most surfable and a great day for L platers. I can’t see any action in the swell forecast until at least Saturday where a new dead south swell arrives flanked by howling Sw winds. This morning […]

Yesterday pumping East swell has ran out of gas overnight. Quite a disappointing 3 foot today – half of its former self. It’s still very clean, offshore (NW) and sunny. The only decent wave in the Eastern suburbs is Maroubra – and it wasn’t that crash hot. Head over the bridge to Manly and I […]

With a dramatic surge in East swell overnight, Sydney has lit up. Exposed beaches are enjoying 4-6 footers. Bondi was only managing 3-4 foot (neglecting the swell source) and is not the best option today, hence the schlep to the northern biatches. Manly was good…fat…but good….big out the back and definitely had the size of […]

The past couple of days have been quite uninspiring for wave riders. The combination of overcast skies, 2 foot wind waves and onshore snore are painting a pretty ugly picture. The swell direction has more east in it today, (ESE), and the winds are still SE 10 – 15 knots. Basically there is not much […]

Today’s Aquabumps comes for a small town on the NSW coastline where not much is happening on the land or in the wave department. Didn’t actually see a car, wave or a human for the first 2 hrs of wondering around. I hear Bondi was surfable (2ft) at Sunrise but the southerly is now in […]

There is not really much happening down the beach today. There are waves in the 3-4 foot range but they seem to lack power and form. Bondi had a peak out the back in line with icebergs, but it rapidly folded into a closeout. Only about 5-6 guys out at 10am (late report due to […]

I couldn’t find anything interesting to shoot this morning. The wind has more south in it than expected creating onshore mush. The swell has pulled back a gear, and is supposed to kick back up later today. A good day to do some work and keep warm’n’dry. Max 16 degrees today, winds: S/SW 10/15 kts […]

Absolutely freezing morning… The radio was calling it 4 degrees as I drove around checking a few nooks and crannies. Didn’t really find much in my travels. This pumping south swell is pathetically closing out at Bondi. We need banks full stop. Anything above 2-3 foot and Bondi just can’t handle it (just like some […]

It’s pretty close to flat out there today. Towards the north end of Bondi there was a 0.5 to 1 foot peak every 15 minutes…if you’re into that type of thing. Super clean, super cold and perfectly sunny today. W/NW winds will howl 15-20 knots increasing later today to 25/33 knots (that’s a gale folks). […]

The East swell of yesterday has ran out of puff overnight. What a ‘one-hit-wonder’ that was. Its flat, like a lake. Bondi was 1 foot (if you waited long enough)…you’d need a 9 foot mal to catch anything as its super weak as well. Chilly day, only 18. Brr. Winds are W/NW and strengthening (20 […]

I think we all got a little bit too excited about the prospects of a decent surf this morning. At sunrise, the predicted swell increase didn’t really eventuate… Seeing the swell was ESE – thought the northern beaches would be a good idea. Manly was probably the best pick as the swell started to finally […]
