Bondi 7am – not too bad…head high on sets.
A humid start to the week, and we’ve been blessed with some fun waves. We welcome the new south swell direction after a week of northerly wind swells. Bondee was breaking up to head high on sets, and there was fun to be had early this morning. The 09:43 high tide will turn fun waves in fat burgers – so best paddle out closer to the 16:33 low tide. Wind: N/NE 8/13 knots, freshening to 15/20 knots in the afternoon and tending W/SW 10/15 knots later in the evening
Loads of stuff happening around Bondi upon the commencement of silly season. Miss Bondi finals took place on the weekend in front of a packed Beach Road Hotel (vocal) crowd. Amongst the sweltering heat, 13 contestants paraded for the $5k prize money (and Sir Dickie even threw in 2 tickets to Europe). Yep we have a winner! Congratulations Rachael Fenech!
Yep, its true, Sir Richard Branson flew into Bondi last Thursday dangling from a helicopter to find himself immersed in 12 bikini clad Miss Bondi finalists. (See piccy). And girls, if you’re over Miss Bondi, apparently Mr Bondi is coming up…Ness can cover that story.
The classic bumps shot of English Undie man trying to pick up last week made it into the Sunday Telegraph. Click here to see Sam de Brito’s take on the shot.
