Hola. After all that wind yesterday we are left with some swell. Bondi was breaking chest to head high but looking a little junky and unpredictable. The banks aren’t crash hot… Winds offshore and super chilly. It got down to 8 this morning. The good news is that this weekend looks sunny, warmish and a […]

Today is the smallest day to surf for the week. There is a residual East swell in town and Maroubra was bleeding it dry. I saw sets around chest high at the Bra…looked fun but inconsistent. Of course I have to say this…the weather has been incredible…so warm for this time of year and the […]

It was a bit chilly down there this morning. A lucky 8 degrees. The water was a welcome reprieve…being much warmer than the air. There is a small wave on offer, waist to inconsistent chest high. Shallow bank in the south end has the most joy. The forecast for the weekend looks sunny and small…maybe […]

It’s a goofy footers paradise down at Bondi this morning. The only option is to surf the Bunker Left in the corner as the rest of the beach doesn’t have much at all. It’s a south wind with a dead south swell (Bondi loves that combo)…oh and under corrupted rainy skies. Our salubrious run of […]

Taking photos is all about being in the right place at the right time. If you stood at Bondi, around 10:30am yesterday this is what you would have captured: Looking to your right you would have seen super fun waves for the Bondi Board riders comp. I saw the cars and setup still there this […]

Crispy, clean, sunny, glassy, warm, small and windless all come to mind when describing this morning down at Bondi. It was SO nice to be down there…as I’ve been chained to the sofa for nearly 6 days as a result of a torn hammy. I can’t stray far from the car with my injury, like […]

Bondi never ceases to entertain me. The surfs gone tiny, the sunrise was pretty stock standard and I rode the pushie around looking for anything other than the mundane. The OneWave crew, being Friday, were out in force, all fluoro’d up posting a large grin and positive attitude. They are gaining traction, as every Friday […]

Let’s talk honestly… Bondi is great for so many reasons…beach culture, nightlife, vicinity to a major city, great galleries, youth, arts, energy…but it’s not well known for its waves. In fact, when I travel and tell people I live and surf in Bondi they have that disturbed look on their face and say…”you poor thing”. […]

It’s been good times around Sydney lately. This solid south swell has come up a trumps. Yesterday was pumping – 10 out of 10. Even the odd barrel out at Bondi as it dredged on a shallow bank. Today started off VERY stormy, with thick rain set in and 4 guys out at South Bondi. […]

The swell has arrived and so has it’s buddy the onshore wind. Waves are breaking higher than your heads (even on tall people like myself), but some serious onshore wobble out there. I didn’t feel compelled to paddle out…save it for another day. Owning a car around Bondi is a bit of a nightmare…no parking…and […]

All you need to know about today is that the winds are offshore and there are waves around 4-6 foot. How good is that? Bondi can’t handle anything over head high so get in the car and bake it out of town. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday of this week are all good surf days. Does anyone […]

You’ve got to be pretty happy with this week so far… There’s been something to ride most days…and more coming. Weather has been rather pleasant as well. Today I took photographs (note, not captures, I hate when people call photos captures) down at good ole Bondeye. The swell has swung around to the South so […]

The south storm arrived last night bringing rain and southerlies. We currently have East swell feeding into town, you’d find waves around 4 foot at exposed beaches, only 2-3 foot at Bondi. You’ll need to surf protected corners to keep out of this wind. It’s not looking great out there – I’d stick to doing […]
