After a week’s supply of solid south swell it’s dropped back into 2 footers. It looks like it’s going to be small all week long, especially Thursday/Friday where is could be dead flat. Enjoy the sunshine and chilly mornings – freezing this morning. It’s about the only surfable day left in this week so I’d […]

Lotsa wonkiness out there at 7am. Even though the southern corner was partially protected, the ocean is still showing signs of yesterdays 35 knot agitation. Large sets, 4-6 foot and barely anyone out. The S.W. winds will settle as we progress through the day…hopefully tidying up a little. Tomorrow will be 3 feet and cleaner. […]

Finally the rain stopped and the onshore winds have subsided. A neat little 2-3 footer is on offer at Bondi and there’s very few in the water (god ole’ quiet Mondays). A great day to paddle out…even if it’s only small. High tide 5:30am, low tide 11am, high tide 5:30pm. Winds NW/NE. Cold out, warm […]

After a fruitful weekend of waves in Sydney (in fact most of Australia had something decent to offer), we’ve defaulted back to 1-2 foot, overcast Bondi this morning with a recent south change rolling in. The swell origin is still south (so Bondi will be drawing the most out of this micro swell) but the […]

Quite a unusual morning in Sydney – sunny then stormy. It all began with semi-clear skies and a overnight spike in swell heights. Waves are now breaking 3 foot from the south and lookin’ tidy. The early morning high tide was bit of a problem – most waves I saw at Bondi were either fat […]

Spectacular day outside. One to be outdoors or better still submerged. Just like every other day this week, we have 1 footers, sunshine, offshores and warm waters. Take the longboard and paddle around in these ideal conditions. The land will hit 28 degrees today – how good is that. Just like summer. The next time […]
Meeting request
Ok ok…so the cat is out of the bag. Surf is pumping and Sydney’s coastline has lit up with peaky, south swell, 4 foot gems. I must say its dramatically better now than when I shot it this morning. The rips are horrendous, but there are some great waves to be had. Have to go…um…to […]

How about that…an Aquabumps report hits your inbox before 8:30am! Yes I did go home last night. Starting to cool right down in the mornings now as the claws of winter creep in. Clear skies, offshore winds and mini 1-2 footers on offer from our current East swell. Not really much out there to motivate […]

Hi… Nice morning with waves around…you’ll have to get out there before it goes onshore (which will happen very soon). I saw waves around 2-3 foot this morning and not many people out. Looks like the seasons have changed and most of the tourists have fled, leaving uncrowded peaks for the early risers. Small swell […]

Volatile weather at the moment in Sydney – not too dissimilar to the north shore of Hawaii. Sunny 1 minute, raining the next. A grey calm morning out there. Bondi had a neat little 2-3 footer, glassy and classy. Shame we have no decent banks. Right now it’s sunny and raging West-Sou-West winds – looking […]

Would have to be one of the worst surf days down at Bondi this year…pretty much dead flat and damp. I am not going to show you what I shot this morning – ain’t pretty…so here is some joy from the recent Boost Mobile Surf Sho down at Bondi. The good news it can only […]
Sluggish
The ocean looked a little lethargic this morning. The swell period pushed up but waves were smaller than yesterday. Bondi had a weak, dribbly 1-2 footer at sunrise (7am)…loads of crew flappin’ around in search of their very own bump. Swell seems to be in the middle of switching from south to nor-east…as later in […]

“It’s been a long time between drinks for a contest at Bondi, since ’88. I like Bondi a lot, it’s cool. It’ll be fun to be there and have a contest. It doesn’t sorta happen there very much. Usually its Rod Kerr running around the beach in his Speedos. But the rest of us are […]
