A dark old morning down there…couldn’t shoot until at least 7:15am – even then was shooting in the 1200ISO plus range. Little bump at Bondi, 2-3 footers but really junkie. Small wolf pack trying to pick off the lefts but didn’t really see anyone get a decent ride that wasn’t wonky and fat. The early […]

The swell arrived but so did the wind (and a bit of rain). Slim pickings out there morning. A choppy 3 foot bump poked up every now and then at South Bondi. Barely anyone out – or even on the beach for that matter. The winds should back off from 20 knots back to 10 […]

Good morning. There’s some little waves around the traps, Bondi was 2 foot and fat. I’d surf it, probably on a fat board though…something wider than 19 inches to be exact. Tomorrow should be bigger but it could be a lil’ junkie with a trailing SE wind and short interval (5 secs). APPA Awards – […]

I was surprised to see it even breaking this morning as the rest of the beach was flat like a lake. Get used to it kids, as this whole week looks pretty dry on the swell front….nothing much above your knee caps. If you are a very motivated, hypo, early morning type person you would […]

I sat on a rock this morning for a good hour watching 20 odd crew pick off some nice little waves. It’s only 2-3 foot and breaking tight in the corner amongst the morning glare – fun and consistent. There are more lefts than rights but I think that will change as the tide pushes […]

Thought the swell was going to pump up a bit this morning – looks to be running late. We still have some 1 foot dribbles with infrequent, one-every-15-minute-sets. It’s clean, winds are grooming offshore and not a cloud in the sky. Winds will blow 20 knots from the SW (that direction of wind is always […]

This freezing, howling wind has blown all the swell out to sea by the looks of it. Bondi at 6:10am didn’t even break – Lake Bondi. However, by 8:00am I saw a ‘wave’ every 15 minutes…then at 9:10am there’s a little something to sample – 1 to 2 foot, breaking nice on the left. Could […]

A few of my mates think it’s a bit odd that I get up at sunrise every day. Those same mates think the best time of the day is 3am at the White Revolver (yeah you creepy Birdman). 6:30am this morning was a good time of day to be down the beach. The best. It […]

Last weekend was a great one for surfers. Solid swell on both days – if only it could be that good all the time. As predicted the swell has backed off this morning, but there are still super fun 3 footers. I don’t think it will hang around for long…dwindling fast. Tomorrow will be small […]

Today is the light at the end of a Grey tunnel. After close to 1 week of unsurfable conditions we have offshore winds and 4-6 footers. Bondi was smaller as there is plenty of east in the swell, but neighbouring bays had plenty. At sunrise it looked full and wobbly…but by the time you read […]

Good morning. Beach conditions are pretty much the same as the past 4 days. Around 8am there was a short stint of sunshine, but then 20 minutes later it bucketed down (again). Today is the last day of this onshore mess plague. The forecast shows a change in winds tomorrow, so maybe the seas will […]

Cheer up, this stormy weather is not so bad. The garden never looked so green…the car is sparkling and your sulo bin is running amuck in your neighbour’s yard. The 30 knot southerly is ruining your surf opportunities though. A ‘wave’ was breaking at North Bondi – but, wow, you’d wanna be keen. Friday things […]

I went down early this morning and had a look at Bondi. It was an onshore mess of white water and rain. 1 guy running, 2 guys surfing and that’s about it. Uninspired, I took 1 image and returned to the sanctuary of the office trawling some Hawaiian juice to provide today’s aquatic escape. Get […]

Good afternoon…sorry about the late transmission. Been roaming the south coast in search of a wave. The south swell is on the up and will keep pulsing into tonight where it will peak at 6-8 foot. (chunky) Currently it’s a dead south swell…Saturday, Sunday and Monday all have waves within the 3-foot mark, just a […]

Hey there, the first few sets of this brand spankin’ new south swell has started to roll up into the bay of Bondi. What a welcome sight. 2 foot, occasionally 3 footers but reasonably consistent. Nice little right tucked up in the corner and some golden morning light to defrost you. The surf is only […]

And you thought yesterday was cold, welcome to today. The wind is howling 20 knots which can make it feel a lot colder than what the weather man says. Much warmer in the water than out…19 in, 7 out. At Bondi there was a ‘wave’. It was 1-2 foot, peeling left for 15 metres. A […]

Don’t be fooled by the sunny weather – is pretty chilly outside (7) – and it’s only going to get colder as this week progresses. Some arctic air is being pushed up by a low off Tassie…so the first weekend of the ski season should have something to slide on. Down at Bondi it all […]

Surely you’ve filled your wave quotas on the weekend’s booming East swell – it really turned on last Saturday. This morning it has run out of gas and currently 2 foot (ish) around the corner (with 1 freak set pictured that broke above head high). Bondi was struggling to produce anything worth riding (protected from […]

After a disastrous week of surf she turns to gold. Solid 6 foot East ground swell, summery sunshine and favourable winds. The early morning high tide put heaps of wobble in the walls, but now, oh my…she’s clean as a whistle and barrelling on the low. Where?….everywhere. East swell will feed most locations and there […]

Guess what? It’s still blowing filthy onshore. North Bondi has some protection from the East nemesis winds, and a few little surfable(ish) waves. Nothing special though. Exposed beaches are 4-6 foot…just messy as hell. The forecast says tomorrow afternoon the wind will kick around to the NE. Finally some clean waves will be on offer […]

Hard day to get any decent shots of surfing. The winds are still howling (E), like the past 3 days. Only 2-3 guys out at North Bondi – man they’re keen. It was a junkyard out there. Everywhere else was deserted. The best wave I saw all morning was caught by body surfer, Lee with […]
