Mighty fine morning out there. Today will go a lil’ something like this: The early morning high tide (8am) will conceal any current swell movements…(it’s only 1 foot and breaking on the weedy shore) Go for a swim, avoiding weed (say no to drugs) The sun will bake us to a balmy 28 degrees until […]

Some days it’s torturous coming up with 5 interesting images to show you all when there is no light, no waves and a pile of stinky weed on the shores. Bondi is a full shorey…don’t even think about it and do something else I say. On the 2pm low tide you might get a knee […]

The stench of beer has nearly dried up…also the 50,000 ‘strayla Day lunatics have bailed and the grass on North Bondi is on the path of rejuvenation. Back to quiet Bondi after a massive, massive, public holiday. I took over 2,000 images yesterday…there was just so much going on…it seems to be the 1 day […]

The weed has taken over Bondi…the recent rogue swell has uprooted tonnes of seaweed and dumped it at our local. Getting in and out ain’t easy – maybe leave the leggies at home. There is small waves this morning…as our booming swell has evaporated…1-2 footers and junky. Not pretty. Hot weekend install for us, 39 […]

Today is quite boring compared to yesterday. 3-4 foot closeouts down at Bondi on the low tide – I sat there for 1 hr and barely got a decent shot of anyone….but let’s talk about yesterday – how spectacular was that! You could see it was going to be a solid day from the morning […]

It’s big and gettin’ bigger. By far the largest swell we’ve had here in months…and it’s NOT really surfable at Bondi. 6 foot + and closing out most of the bay. I saw a rogue set break so far out the back it was quite impressive – must of touched the 8 foot range. For […]

As forecasted the swell has jacked up and we’ve got 3-5 foot Bondi chunks. It looked a little junky early, but by far the biggest waves I’ve witnessed in some time. The swell origin is 187 degrees (DEAD SOUTH) so any beach not facing the source will be neglecting the full extent of this swell […]

Glorious day outside… These sneaky little swells seem to pop up for a few hours and then dissipate just as fast as they arrive. Last night switched on with a small pulse, and again this morning – ah yes, warm water, offshore winds and 2 footers pushing into the bay…nice. Big crowd were on it […]

Yesterday’s brief 24 hour fling with 3 foot waves is all over – the plague of flatness has returned. Hope you sampled a few while they were here. Blink and you would’ve missed it. Today, its 1 foot, slightly onshore, overcast and best suited to beginners. Probably won’t fry your burger. Max 25 degrees with […]

When you haven’t seen waves in a while anything looks good. Anything. Well, after last night’s southerly change we’ve got some wind waves today… I even saw a set break above head high. Yes! And I am no midget even though I’m of Asian descent. It’s on shore, it’s bumpy, it’s wet and it’s slippery…but […]

Hiya. I am back. No need to worry, I haven’t deserted you (thanks for the 100 emails of concern)…just needed some time to chase waves without the cameras/housings/laptops. And oh boy, no matter where I went it was small, small and small – like a curse. About the biggest wave I found after travelling through […]

Last day on Nusa Lembongan, Bali… There is currently a tiny swell running, but the reefs still put on a wave with the incoming tide. When the tide changes here I’ve never seen so much current – apparently it’s due to the deep water trenches between Nusa Penida and Lombok (just around the back) where […]

Ok so we’re having a few I.T. problems to start 2010. You may have received last week’s update from Bali today (Monday), oh and maybe twice. Sorry to clog up your inbox. Also a few readers are receiving fake emails from Aquabumps.com – well our I.T. division on level 2 are sorting that out as […]

Happy new year yo’ll…hope 2010 brings you plenty of waves. Sorry for the random Aquabumps update…had a bit of time to kill, and there are no waves…so I’d thought I’d do something constructive. I love Bali which is why this is my 26th trip here. The island is packed and new year’s eve was pretty […]
