Fire + Water
Contrasty down the beach this morning. At around 3am it bucketed down. At 6am it seemed to be clearing. At 6:30am the sky lit up with deep reds…but it went back to grey moments after. The waves have picked up slightly…but it is still 2 foot and dribbly. Surprised how clear the water was underneath […]

Some days it takes me a while to come up with my two paragraphs that sum up the morning. I get distracted a lot, trawl the web for inspiration and hours pass by…I find myself on google earth scoping out new isolated point breaks in Indo or drinking too much java. Today 2 words sum […]
Modern Family
Sofía Vergara came down to Bondi beach this morning in attempt to get on Aquabumps. She brought down the whole modern family and 100 trucks of equipment…I told her, it’s gotta be spontaneous…at least she wore fluoro for Fluoro Friday. So much going on down there at sunrise. Bowl-a-rama are setting up for a huge […]
Inviting
The swell has kicked around to the East providing a few more options today. It’s still tiny yet surfable. I saw waves break around waist high with the odd set in the vicinity of shoulder high. Regardless, the windless conditions and warm water should be enough to motivate you. Bondi was in a very good […]
Stunted
Tiny, micro, small, stunted, wee, mini, inadequate, shrimp, runty, baby, toy, undersized waves today. Plenty of crew out under dark grey morning skies. Muggy day, feels like Singapore. Max 29 degrees. Go for a swim, it’s nice. A good friend of mine rents out a couple of fancy houses in Bondi for holiday makers. Check […]
Quiet
The recent wet scared many from a beach visit this morning. Bondi was all quiet. Finally there are waves to talk about. Really sloppy ones but they broke around head high on the sets. The conditions should clean up during the day and the sunshine will come out. Wednesday looks like fun for surfers. I […]
Doof-Doof
How’s ya tan? Been nice down the beach lately huh? Yesterday’s howling winds stirred up some junkie windswell. Bondi was fat, fun and crowded this morning with head high sets. I’m hoping it gets better later on. I think it’s gonna be a full house though. It’s a pretty full on time of year around […]

Boy oh boy…it’s a real nice morning. The water is a seductive 20 degrees and surprisingly there are waves. The forecast was a little hard to understand, but I saw waves in the waist high to hairy upper lip range. Get wet! You are probably not getting much work done with the Pipeline Masters on […]

Sadly New South Wales is being ravaged by 100 wild bush fires. Say a little prayer for those families who’ve lost homes. The skies were filled with smoke last night and asthmatics will find it hard to breathe. Last night was very unique down at Bondi with all this smoke, some of the strangest light […]

After a long flat spell we now have waves. No lie. Phew. Thanks Hui. The SSE swell has kicked in strong and Bondi was closing out at 7am (std). Get in the car and drive away from Bondi – you’ll score for sure! Winds are perfectly WSW offshore, the sunshine is out and today will […]

There is a little wave on offer down at Bondeye. It’s not hot, but rideable. It is going to be 24 degrees today. Swell should increase this afternoon and be OK for most of this week. Finally after weeks of dribbles. It’s Monday, I know you are busy…so this email is very short. O u […]
V O T E – A B
At 5:50am it was shaping up quite nicely. Glassy conditions, small East swell and colours sprayed over the Buckler. Real pretty huh? By about 6:30am a small south change hit, messing the surf up and the skies filled grey. It’s now 11:38am as I write this and I can see sunshine baking through all windows. […]

These very good looking mornings are becoming the standard, the expected. Day after day I roll down the beach and it’s really quite something special. We are being spoilt. No wind, amazing sunrises and clear skies. It’s going to hit a whopping 24 degrees today. That’s pretty crazy for this time of year. The swell […]
