Howdy. Merry Christmas all. Hope you had a good one. If you’re a surfer in Singapore you’d go mad. The place it one big shopping centre with 400,000 expats running around the joint. Should you require some board time, you either have to jump over the back fence to the Mentawai Islands in Indonesia, or […]

Well that’s it for another year. This is our last communication until 2010. Thanks for reading this salt crusted update from the beach…I still can’t believe there are so many of you interested in it as I’ve never marketed it – you just came by or a mate stuck you on it. What started out […]

Hard to believe Christmas is this Friday – where did this year go? Looks like many have fled town for their summer holiday…Bondi was remarkably quiet(ish). Hell you might even be able to find a car park along Campbell Parade. Pity about the swell. It’s tiny and from the NE, sooo not suited to Bondi. […]

On 1st light it looked flat out there…but around 8am I saw a mini-pulse push in the odd wave. The school-holiday-groms were all over it. 1-2 foot today, sunny and hot. 29 degrees. Seeing most of you are on holidays – hit the beach, it’s a good one. Thin, wispy, high altitude cirrus clouds show […]

Howdy. Nice mornin’, pity there’s not much to surf…say 1 foot, with a weak 2 foot bomb set. Bondi seems all quiet…everybody is either on holidays and left town, or still recovering from the weekends Christmas parties. This week there will be nothing substantial to surf – take the mal out. It’s a typical summery […]

It’s been raining since I rolled outa bed and the surf is pretty uninspiring – so foto opps are minimal this morning….hence the random archival revival. I’d say 2-3 foot at east exposed beaches (e.g Zee Bra)…the odd 2 footer at Bondi and barely anyone around. This weekend’s forecast is for no waves. Join in […]

I was down the beach pretty early this morning. Think it was 4:30am. Nuts I know. I tell you what though… there’s plenty of nudity down there at that hour. Upon arrival I saw 1 girl and 4 guys posing nude for photos in suspect poses. Looked like sumpin’ outa ‘Eyes Wide Shut’. Looking down […]

Definitely not a surfing day… Lake Bondi had a 0.5 to 1ft dribble…with the odd 2 foot freak set. A pod of dolphins were having a Christmas party in the bay. They hung around for an hour or so, weaving in and out of surfers legs…puttin’ on a show. The early morning clouds have now […]

It’s small. Mainly just a shorey slappin’ on the beach. So small even Jono (AKA the mad professor) was soft sand jogging and not surfing. Now that’s small – that man can sniff a 1ft set out of Lake Bondi any day. Mighty fine morning though, after the early clouds dissipated we’re left with clear […]

In stark contrast to yesterday we’ve got overcast skies, drizzle, onshore winds and 2-3 footers – oh, and a empty Bondi beach. Barely anyone around…as it’s no pretty picture down there. Maybe wait until it cleans up tomorrow. Small waves all week mostly in the 2-3ft range. Only 22 degrees on the land today, the […]

There are more girls surfing Bondi these days…more than ever…great to see. I reckon there was about a dozen Gidgets dominating the peak this morning. The world’s smallest surfable waves are on offer this morning. Super infrequent, but who cares when the weather is this good. You should do something in the water today – […]

There is a little bump out there this morning…2 foot, sometimes a smidge bigger. Conditions were clean, still and humid. 2 peaks on Bondi were packed with early morning frothers. I saw some good ones, and a lot of not so good ones. Mostly weak and fat (burgers). Something cookin’ on Monday wavewise…but looks onshore. […]

Bondi is on-snore today. The howling southerly is still with us making mince of anything rolling in. At least it’s not crowded and there is the odd 2-3 peak. Sometimes the wind can put up a little lip at Bondi…a nice change from fattie Bondi. Clouds and rain will clear by lunch, winds will swing […]

Hot is probably the most outstanding attribute to describe today’s conditions. 35 big ones forecasted so a swim after work in the day-light-saving-hours will be a must. Surfing isn’t the best option today, as that southerly change last night didn’t blow long enough to create anything substantial – windwaves only on offer – 1 to […]

I know I said there would be no waves over the weekend – and there were, especially last night (3ft)…well…sorry…it was a pretty localised swell and snuck under the radar. Today’s waves have dropped slightly but there are still fun ones out there. After a foggy, overcast start to the day we’ve been blessed with […]

At 6:30am there was barely a wave left from yesterdays decent swell (and no wind). At 7am a southerly change hit and blew the 1 footers into a spin…so it’s a no surf day now, tomorrow, Sunday, Monday and well – not much happening for quite some time now. Surely you’re rammed with xmas parties […]

It was an all star cast out there this morning – Wylie Moyes, Caleb Reid and Perth Standlick. The local guns flaring up amongst the 4 footers at Bondi. It was a shame Bondi’s banks weren’t putting up sections for the boys – most waves were pretty much flat. Somewhere must be going off right […]

Rogue bombs are breaking out the back of Bondi this morning. I reckon some of those sets must be 8-9 foot. A lone wolf paddled out in the southern corner, only to return to shore moments later after getting slapped around. You’ve just got to be patient and wait until it calms down, which it […]

So it’s Tuesday afternoon, and you haven’t received an Aquabumps fix this week…you’re probably wondering what the hell is going on? Well, I’ve been moving around a bit and today’s photos are from Maya Beach, Phi Phi (that’s Thailand kids). Why? Well I won’t go into detail but ended up spending the afternoon there yesterday […]
