Shelter
With all the recent agitation in the ocean it is looking a little wonky out there. You will need to seek sheltered corners to find rideable waves. Bondi looked pretty random…but at least it’s uncrowded. The surf forecast looks healthy for the rest of the week. A new swell on Thursday and something really good […]

We’ve escaped the cool waters of the Mid-North Coast and landed 3 hours north, at Banana Coast – or better known as Coffs Harbour. Never been here before and plenty of surf options with bays facing all directions. The swell is still NE and so is the wind so Northern corners are the go. The […]
Thunderstruck
We finished up late at the right to head south to a wave magnet left called Thunders. No one around…at all. Just how we like it! The weather is perfect and the swell continues to produce. I hear another swell is due tomorrow so all the boats are heading to their favourite part of the […]
The Reef
Last time we ventured out to the reef the waves had gone small, waist to chest high on very infrequent sets. A good time to rest up, get a few massages and walk around this quirky little town of Lembongan Island. There is a little pulse of swell inbound which will hopefully put on a […]
Warmth
Can you feel it? Spring…yep, it’s so much warmer this morning at sunrise. Gotta love this time of year…shed those woolies and go for a swim – deluxe 24 today. Looks like a the world surfing tour is gonna have a big week in New York as the top 34 ready for the start of […]
Night Surfing
One of the benefits of having a fully lit Ice Skating Rink right on the sands of Bondi is that you can shoot night surfing. The swell has been huge lately and fortunately Wal found a newly formed left shorey grinder that was all lit up – bang in the perfect spot in front of […]
Gold Plated
If you braved the chill and rolled down the hill to Bondi you would have found some entertaining waves this morning. It’s around 3-4 foot, offshore, clean and working on a few banks. The side-on light broke through around 7am, gold plating everything in its course (my favourite). A rare tube was on offer right […]
U l u s
Hiya. A delayed flight meant a couple of hours to kill and thought I’d pump out a update from the island paradise of Bali. Haven’t been shooting much as I’m having a break but there were a few big sets at Uluwatu on the weekend worth raving about. Friday/Saturday saw a spike in swell at […]
dark o
Quite a tricky morning to capture a decent image down at Bondi. The rain was coming and going, it was also so dark that you could barely get a decent shutter speed and most people were glued to bed. We’ve still got a dead south swell and north wind (which Bondi loves) but that’s about […]
I C E
Kinda of an odd day. We’ve got leftover East swell which has been beaten by the westerly wind stick overnight and fading fast…then later a new south swell will hit bringing the goods. I like the look of tomorrow at South facing beaches. Maroubra had a little chilly wave on offer early today (2ft) with […]

Aloha. Swell has dropped a tad here on the North Shore of Hawaii…but the trade winds are hooooowwwwling (and I’m not talking about the non-Hawaiians). Saw a guy do an air at Ehukai and thought he was going to land on the set behind. Difficult conditions…still size around. The odd double head high set. Hairy. […]
The drop
I don’t know what happened to the surf overnight, but whatever it was, it’s evil. The small 14 second ground swell of yesterday has, well, pretty much gone even though my charts said it should’ve hang around longer. The next 3 days look dire. Virtually no swell and rain until Monday. Been following the Goldie […]
Nusa Lembongan
Ok so we’re having a few I.T. problems to start 2010. You may have received last week’s update from Bali today (Monday), oh and maybe twice. Sorry to clog up your inbox. Also a few readers are receiving fake emails from Aquabumps.com – well our I.T. division on level 2 are sorting that out as […]
