Hurro
Hi, hello, hey, yo, how are you? Today we’ve been blessed with a solid SE swell. Bondi Beach is lighting up with 3-5.2 footers. It looked fun, but not proper cranking. Loads of wash throughs and closeouts to negotiate. After a rainy start, we look set to bake up to 29 salubrious degrees. Hit the […]
Eddie would go…
It’s not often you’ll get an Aquabumps daily report before 9am…so you can hop back on your chair now. There is a big south swell in town flanked with rain and – now – wind. Bondi only had 1 lone ranger out, Mr Eddie Scott, paddling out from the boot and picking off the rare […]
Big Bondi
Today is quite boring compared to yesterday. 3-4 foot closeouts down at Bondi on the low tide – I sat there for 1 hr and barely got a decent shot of anyone….but let’s talk about yesterday – how spectacular was that! You could see it was going to be a solid day from the morning […]
chunks
Some big waves rolling around the joint. Especially on dark last night. It’s pulled back to a manageable 6 foot, but still very agitated. The winds have also dropped a gear from gale force to 20-30 knots of southerly. Not ideal conditions for that casual paddle, but if you’re keen to test your fitness, head […]
Fluky
After a short burst of golden light its toned back to greydom. Stormy conditions and a medium range swell hitting from the south. Bondi is harnessing the favourable swell direction and breaking 4-5 foot out the back. Even though the wind has dropped and its semi-clean, its still unsettled and random. A few guys paddled […]
Devil Wind
The forecasted swell increase has greeted us, but so has the southerly… South Bondi was a junkie 3 foot. Long waits between decent sets. Not very inviting as the rain has set in and you’ve probably got something more pressing to do. The great news is that today’s junkie windswell will eventuate into a groundswell […]
Swell Boost
As promised the swell went from nought to hundred overnight. Yesterday’s Lake Bondi is now a cracking 6 foot solid with the odd stand up barrel. It’s not perfect…many waves are shuttin’ down and some are very wonky with new-swell-morning-sickness…but at least you’ll get the blood pumping on this freezing Thursday morning. If are lucky […]
Big chunks
The swell has kicked up overnight and waves are breaking around 6 foot. Small time Bondi isn’t handling the new big conditions well – max’d out. In fact I couldn’t find anything worth surfing along all the eastern suburbs beaches. North Bondi has a confused 3 foot hollow left that predominantly shuts down. Bronte was […]
meaty
Some meaty chunks rocking around Sydney at the moment. One of the biggest swells of 2008. Shame that the 8 foot sets at Bondi are flanked by a 20-30 knot southerly – making it a mess of things. Bondi to Maroubra has limited options, you’ll need decent protection from the southerly (e.g. Bronte or South […]
