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 […]
Day 5
Day 5 of no swell. It’s coming though. Tomorrow you should be able to dust off the board and catch a few – but it is going to be real fun on Sunday afternoon and Monday. The weather is just perfect. Not too hot, not too cool…just right. The water is retaining its bath temps […]

4th waveless morning in a row… Time to go for a swim, it is THAT good. Warm, bath like water, no wind, no swell. The GREAT NEWS is that there is swell on its way. The party starts on Monday with a nice beefy EAST swell. Now that should cheer you up. Until then, go […]

It takes a very flat day to score an empty line up down at Bondi. I reckon 350 out of 365 days a year we have a hungry pack scouring for waves, no matter how big it is. I can confirm it’s unsurfable, grey and windless down the beach right now. A 7am rain squall […]

It’s Friday and the swell is dropping just in time for the weekend. It’s still rideable and chest to head high on sets. The NW (6kn) winds have really cleaned the place up and the new banks are working a treat. After all that rain I reckon the south drain pumps out some sand into […]

I spent the morning hiding from the rain in a cave at South Bondi. It poured…and poured. The great news is that there are fun waves in the head high + range. Grey weather makes for no crowds…best time to surf Bondi. It was pretty wonky…but you might score a few fun ones. Wind is […]

As far as weekends go that was the biz. The past two days have just been exquisite beach days. Barely any wind, perfect temperatures and clean, warm water. This morning was no exception…but we could do with a few good waves aye? You would’ve missed last Friday’s swell if you blinked. There is a bit […]

I’ll keep it short for you today… The swell has come up a little…it’s now breaking around your waist line (but is very weak and suitable for Malibu equipment). The swell is from the ENE so Maroubra, Tama, Bronte should have more swell, but let’s face it, it’s not pumping. The water temperature has dropped […]

This little dozer above COULD be our dream maker…he has the power to position sand in places nature can’t. He COULD make a bank, a super bank…from ‘The Boot’ to ‘The Tower’…piping rights…wally sections…he COULD do it all. Hell, he COULD even make a A-Frame peak in the middle so the wolf pack would have […]

The swell has arrived but so has that pesty SE onshore wind. Sometimes onshore Bondi can be kinda fun, no crowds, little more push but I reckon too much blow today…wait ‘til she settles. Tomorrow is going to be REALLY windy (30 knots) and wet…Sunday the winds should kick around to the NE and provide […]

There’s some NE swell on its way to Sydney. I was thinking it might have come up a bit more this morning than it did. Bondi was 2 foot and very wind affected with an early morning SE onshore. Ok, it was junk. Maybe in a few more hours she’ll improve? Pray. Kinda hot day […]

It poured around 6:00am today. That’s normally when I start rolling down the beach. Hard to believe that now seeing it’s just gone perfectly sunny. I mean seriously, take a look out the window – it’s a beach cracker (max 26). The waves were pretty lacklustre this morning. Something dribbling in the south end but […]
Motherland
Ah yes, I am back in Bondi. Good to be home. Was getting sick of 10 footers (jokes). Bondi looked real spesh all lit up at sunrise. Nice hues streaming in through Benny Buckler. Waves weren’t too flash, a dribbly knee high wave. Fortunately there is a little spike in swell tomorrow and Friday. Hopefully […]
