After the past two summers we’ve recently had, we deserve these GLORIOUS summery days. It’s so lovely outside you’re mad if you don’t go outdoors – even just for a fiver and a sit on the grass to soak it all in.  A cracker.  SE winds are declining into the arvo – a bit choppy […]

The sun, waves, light and delightful beach conditions have turned off. Super quiet down there today – not a beach day. The southerly was in early and waves 1/10. Here are some Bondi moments of this month – always something happening around here. I guess that is what makes it interesting to shoot for over […]

Bondi was a restless hive of mega activity this morning. The north end especially! The entire bay has the Salties spread out – like an enormous school of fish – all you can see are arms and legs firing across the entire 900 metres of Bondi. Quite a sight. The surf is still hanging in […]

Sorry about the delayed update; sadly, it’s not because I’ve been surfing all morning. Great conditions – not good banks. It’s pretty solid out there at sunrise. Waves were breaking in the above head to double head high range – and plenty of supply. The winds look relatively light right now – similar to dawn. […]

That gusty offshore is still wreaking havoc in Sydney. Brisk, init? There’s still plenty of swell, but the banks are pretty odd and straight. Shame…as it has the makings of a cracker surf day. I saw sets overhead high, winds blowing SW 15-20 knots – sunshine 10 outa 10. It’s gonna hit 27 degrees – […]

It’s properly windy with gusts well above 30 knots. Overnight the temperatures plummeted, and it was only 9 degrees when I rolled down for the morning rituals. Bit odd for this time of year. Fortunately, the winds will calm right down by nightfall. The swell is SW – that means it’s hooking up the coast […]

Great weather at the moment, never mind the howling winds. Even though we are getting gusts of up to 30 knots this morning, you will still be able to find the odd corner to hide from for the gale. 24 degrees max today, cooler than yesterday. Waves are slightly smaller, limping into the bay around […]

South swell is up, and there’s sets that are double-head high. Unfortunately, it’s flanked by a solid southerly around 15 knots. Protected southerly corners are the GO! I see sunshine dominating the forecast for days and days now, how good is that? Sunday is going to be particularly warm with 27 degrees. The large swell […]

The swell has come right up, and waves are breaking in the 4-6 plus vicinity. It’s very unsettled, random and raw…I only saw a kneelo at Coogee catch a wave all morning – and I checked most beaches. Wait for it to settle; it will be fruitful. Patience. In the meantime, watch the new season […]

Ah, nice; nothing better than waking up to a nice little South swell pulse. There are head-high waves this morning under cooling SSW breezes (16 knots). It was junkie but pretty uncrowded and consistent. It’s much colder today, 11 degrees, when I woke. We’re only a few days off summer, so this will be the […]

That sneaking NE swell pulse from yesterday has faded, and we return to 1-2ft, grovellers (with the odd random set around chest high). The winds are WSW offshore, exposing the blues in our oceans whilst making inviting conditions for a swim. A very sunny morning with showers arriving later, around dinner time. Crypto is crashing, […]

Everyone thinks Bondi is a small city beach with massive crowds every day. It’s not. Lately, it has been hectic with decent weather, no covid lockdowns and multiple events…but it’s not always like that. So take this morning – the beach was empty under stormy skies. Such contrasts! The swell has dropped but would be […]

The weather gods have been good to us! What a cracker morning to be in Sydney. Solar is up, small waves from the East and gentle grooming offshores make it a beach day. Our beaches were packed, early – being warm and a Friday.  Max 22 degrees. FREE PINEAPPLES Like $50s? Today we kick off our […]

We’re having a mighty fine run of weather this week – how good! Touch wood. I keep looking to the horizon to see storm clouds – so far only a couple of small showers this morning. At 5:30am we had a hint of colour from the horizon – it didn’t really fire up but had […]

With all this sunshine over the past few weeks – Bondi is back to its hay days. It’s starting to feel like summer. This morning I came across a giant rainbow sand sculpture to mark 100 days until Sydney hosts the Sydney WorldPride. As the world welcomes back events after a very quiet 2 years, […]

Bondi is gangland – full of similar interest groups going about their morning rituals at sunrise. For a 900-metre-long beach, there is no shortage of activity, especially before 6 am. Tiny waves today, plenty of sunshine, little wind… an abundance of people enjoying the early warmth. Good vibes. The surf forecast for the rest of […]

That weekend was nuts, at times, overwhelming – Bondi is back! Bondi is hectic when you see four different coloured Lambos race down Campbell parade (in a 40 zone), followed by a Maclaren – bright orange, of course. I look up, and Amir is making loops in his plane…I cross the road, and a driver […]

Bondi has some waves today, and they’re not perfect, but surfable. Out of Sydney’s 70 surf beaches, Bondi is probably attracting the size, but the constant ESE onshore winds aren’t favourable….good for your airs (I guess). The sunshine has been off and on all morning. I can’t work out if it’s going to rain or […]

Feels like winter dunnit? Not typical temperatures for November as summer approaches. -2 up at Thredbo as they get bit of snow. The west winds continue to blow, softer than yesterday (thankfully) but still quite icy. Once you come out of the water it will be very fresh and invigorating. Right now its 14 degrees […]

Strong 23-knot westerlies are dropping the temperatures this morning, chilly ain’t it? Flat too. It’s not often Sydney isn’t surfable – but today is one of those days – she’s pretty much flat…for now…but tonight, it should come up. Go for an invigorating morning swim. You’ll feel alive. Until tomorrow… :: uge

After the recent chaos, Bondi has defaulted to a calm, quiet morning. The wind may be howling (up to 40 knots in gusts), but the ocean has subsided…the swell faded, and the clouds were back for sunrise. Fortunately no rain. Thursday and Friday look to be surf days. Sunshine today and tomorrow. Corporate GiftingWe are […]
