We all had big expectations for the morning surf conditions. At 5:30 am the beach was littered with frothers, eagerly hunting a solo peak. Unfortunately, the 6:39 am high tide swallowed the swell increase, producing fat burger waves that provided little enjoyment. Land of the cutback! I know there was some colour at 5:30 am, […]

Another day of onshore grinding; it is not very picturesque out there. A steady flow of south-southeast wind made a mess of the bay and cooling it down. Significantly few people around, everyone opting to do something else. I get it. Our grom squad were out, training for the Olympics 2028-2032. Finally, there should be […]

It is rare to see Bondi windless and waveless. Today, we sit in the doldrums, stagnant. It feels like a still Indonesian morning, with pure glass across the bay. Beautiful, isn’t it? Perfect for your bay swims, morning walk, beach coffee – not so good for surfing! :: uge

It evolved into a beautiful beach day, but its beginnings were dark, overcast and overrated. A much warmer morning and the Wednesday crowds flocked to the beach. Waves are tiny, just a tad above flat…the 100-litre longboards littered the beach. The Nor-easter is blowing 18 knots, so North Bondi is completely protected and suitable for […]

Too much blow. It’s onshore and messy. The small waves are suffering under these conditions. Lovely sunrise though around 6am. The sun ducked in and out all morning, even threatening to rain occasionally, and it remains cool (22 degrees maximum). Don’t forget Ben Lucas’ memorial paddle out is at South Maroubra on Sunday at 6 […]

Another sensational morning, sun, surf and sculptures. The waves continue with a slightly junkified 2-3 foot. South wind with South-East swell combo is in town, and multiple peaks are in operation along our 900 metres of Bondi. Rain is coming, and there is a chance of a thunderstorm this evening. Go outside now before the […]

It’s been a weird combo this morning: sunny one minute, rainy the next. It’s like it can’t make up its mind about what kind of day it is. I understand it will be clearing into the arvo (and 23) and should produce a nice arvo (apart from the onshore east winds, which will lift a […]

Some sublime conditions to start the week – warm, offshore, sunny. It’s a shame that I can feel the SE onshore starting to feather into the bay, bringing some clouds and unfavourable conditions. Ramp Dos has sand, but it only works when it’s tiny. Any sets overhead close out completely. I surfed it yesterday with […]
