Was nice to have some morning light in the frames this morning. Hasn’t been much of it around lately. As per the forecast the swell has come up from the East but it’s junkie as hell. A few 4 footers, wobbly and choppy, yet surfable. For the next 5-6 days there is plenty of swell. […]

A very typical Sydney storm is in town. Strong South wind, sloppy south swell and random junkyard out at Bondi. If you want to surf uncrowded Bondi, it’s all yours. 3-4 footers, hard to pick the right ones, but there’s gold in dem hills (for overly enthusiastic an unemployed surfers). For the rest of us, […]

We’ve got a sloppy south swell and south wind down at Bondi this morning. The weekend’s clouds are still here and the rain is on and off. Quite a wintery picture down here with only 2, maybe the odd 3 footer. Quality is very poor as squalls roll through, yet the line-up is basically empty. […]

This morning I wasn’t expecting much. The swell websites all talked 1’s and 2’s…period was down and last night’s check showed little promise. Well, something arrived, mostly closing out but definitely 3 foot sets. The odd left opened up to the beach in the southern corner of Bondi. The odd right in the middle – […]

Nice sky of colour to kick today off. Bondi was a hive of activity at 6:30am. Plenty doing their regular thing. Optimistic crew fighting over leftovers in the surf. Only 1-2 footers on offer today, so no need to rush down. If anything, go for a swim…as it’s just that good. (25) Can you swim […]

I know I’ve said it a fair bit lately, but I’ll say it again – real special morning out there. The waves are clean and in the 2-3 foot range. The sun is out, not a cloud in the sky. The water was bath temp. warm. Can do just boardies and maybe a little vest. […]

That spike in swell arrived but didn’t really hang around. Bondi had a large crowd out at sunrise enjoying 2-3 footers, warm water and perfect sunshine. I headed down to Cronulla (Greenhills to be exact) to hook up with Matty Griggs (ex-coach to world champs like Mick Fanning and Steph Gilmore) and his super grom […]

The winter’s dial clicked over another notch this morning – did you feel that extra chill in the air earlier today? The water, however, continued its spa-like temperatures (23) – how could you not go in? Interesting day today. Weak 1 footers right now….but around 4pm a south ground swell arrives and the swell period […]

That was a real nice weekend. I was impressed to see waves on Saturday at Bondi…fun ones (nothing on Sunday). The water has been SO clear and warm lately. Perfect weather. Can’t get much better than that. Today Bondi had the odd 2 foot freak set, but mostly 1 footers dribbled into the corner (with […]

Good morning. Nice morning wasn’t it? A few (small) waves around early on a left rip bowl at Bondi. Quite hard to surf (and shoot from the water) as a deep hole between two banks provided an outlet for all the water in the bay. Damn need an anchor out there. Water is RIDICULOUSLY warm […]

Well it hasn’t been the best week of surf. Can’t be good all the time I guess and we’ve had our fair share recently. Today we’ve got 2-3 footers, onshore, junkie – but hey, the sun is out! Few left rip bowls on offer…grab em whilst there here…cause the forecast for the next few days […]

It’s pretty fickle out there. On/off. Wet/sunny. Cold/hot. Not really sure what to make of it. At 7am the surf looked average with some crumbly 2-3 foots hittin’ Bondi. Around 9am it looked a lot cleaner and lining up better. About 10 x better. Who knows what it will look like by lunchtime when the […]

I saw a dude paddle out at south Bondi, shortly to return to the beach dissatisfied with the whole ordeal. I then saw another lone wolf drift out in the middle of Bondi, copped a rinsing, then returned to the beach, off to work. Further north at Mirra Kirra (aka North Bondi), I saw 3 […]

There’s some nice deep holes in them sand banks at Bondi. Sets break on the outer banks then crumble to the beach before reforming into a nice little left rip bowl. It was short and only 2-3 foot, but the best option this morning. It’s gonna get bigger as the day progresses, like 5-6 foot […]

Hurro. Today is April fools. A day where I normally write it’s pumping, 3-4 foot when it’s not – yeah real tricky eh. Well it actually is…pumping (kinda)… Some decent waves rolling through this morning in the 3-4 foot range. Sure, it’s a little wonky as the onshore wind blew for 24 hours previously, but […]
