Did you know that Maroubra is a local aboriginal word for “Place of Thunder”? Presume they’re talking about the crashing waves found there.
When the swell has a bit of east or north in it – Maroubra using has some fun waves. Today we have a SE swell which is lighting up many beaches along the east. Tamarama, Bondi + Bronte all had some joy.
Waves are around shoulder to head high. Winds are perfectly offshore. I’d hit it on the low tide if I could unshackle from this computer. Please note – low tide is right now, 10am.
Waves were really good yesterday afternoon – I even broke a board at Bondi, thought that wasn’t possible with the soft fluff we normally get.
Have a great day!

Love the Bra…
Spectacular shots.
Big fan of the Rubik’s Cube at north end.
That beach has not changed much since I first surfed there in 1983…
May it stay the Bra always.
Hi. Love the blog pics!
As an ex-Maroubra local I understood ‘Maroubra’ to be Aboriginal for ‘windy place’ (not ‘thunder’). Would be good to know, but from my experience both would be true!
Is thunder the van parked at Bondi? Like the new naming…
Hi Lenore, it is the rubiks cube at Maroubra on the beach. uge
Thx Uge – did you see that van painted like a rubik’s cube at the beach this morning? Sorry Maroubra, don’t get over there very often! My dad used to surf there though…
I would have thought Bondi would have been pumping . The banks are better at Bondi .
their ATM look all the same to me
Sure baz nice try
The banks at Maroubra in my 30 years of experience seem more reliable than Bondi – but I might add that you only get to use half of Bondi because of the flags so it is apples and oranges… but I am sure everyone else has different views.
Hi Uge,
Great to see you taking shots of my favourite break! It’s been pretty fun at Maroubra all week. Love those shots!
Well done 🙂
