There is something special about this time of year. June is the best month to be shooting Bondi. The winter solstice is in full swing and the sun now rises side on to the beach, blanketing rich golden light. Bondi is also quiet and calm with only a hand full braving the 7 degrees this […]
Sans Sand
Its offshore – tick. Small ESE swell running – tick. Good banks? – nup, nada, zip. Consistent 2 footers this morning, with the occasional 3 foot set. No sand banks making most bumps fold into a straight-hander-closeouts. Wow. Foggy morning, cloudy with a shower of two. (max 20) Psillakis I think everyone has a favourite […]
Dozer Dumps
Not a very inspiring morning down the beach. Bondi was 2 foot and messy…the banks are totally shot. I’m hoping that the bulldozer moving sand back in the water may create something…anything…cause surely its gotta be better than what we’ve currently got. The swell is from the ESE, so Tama/Bra would show more size (maybe […]
Bankless in Bondi
What great conditions we have this morning. Super clean, smooth surfaces…decent supply of ESE swell (9.1 sec period)…and the sunshine has even come out to join the party. How disappointing are the banks though? The weekend’s storms have robbed Bondi of any decent sand formations – especially that tubing left in the corner – which […]
Ghastly
Seen better days that’s for sure… The wind and rain are taking over this town. Last night I thought my windows were going to cave in. At least the salt has been washed off the car, momentarily. The winds are howling easterly, which pretty much give you no options for surfing today. The swell is […]
Poolside
A little 2-3 footer was breaking in the southern corner of Bondi, in front of The Icebergs, short-lived though…as a 15-20 knot Easterly made a mess of things early today. Large crew out early enjoying the shallow sand bank that is throwing a lip (rare), making the head dip the manoeuvre of choice. Not much […]
Corner Lips
That swell arrived Saturday afternoon and is continuing to grow. Bondi was 3-4 foot today and a lil’ junky (gettin’ bigger). The left in the corner randomly threw a wide lip whilst most closed out on the bigger sets. Cold morning, brrr, and very few people out. The water remains a balmy 21 degrees though…quite […]
south magnets
If you were up for the early you would have found some fun little 2 footers down at Bondi. Bondi loves these SSE swells, squeezing every ounce of a dying bump. Todays waves are short lived – by lunchtime there will be nothing left and flatness will prevail this afternoon. Most other beaches would have […]
pumping
Excuse the late arvo interruption. Just got off the plane from Byron…as we circled the airport you could see all the beaches firing. All of them from Cronulla to Northern beaches. WOW. Ok, back to work now – if that’s possible at all ::uge
Burgerworld
Swell has gone east and the winds are offshore (perfect). The sun is puttin’ out some bake and the 7:20am high tide is making fat burgers of any decent waves. You need to wait for low tide kids, there is way too much water wobbling around at sea. Low tide shall be at 1:20pm, so […]
Boomers
That wind has backed off overnight and today is the 1st surfable day of this week. 4-5 footers broke out the back of Bondi. Whilst most were just a takeoff adrenalin rush, and nothing more…it worth paddling out for sure. The sun has just immersed from morning cloud and the water is still warm (21 […]
Settle
Plenty of swell still around. The ocean has settled a little from yesterday’s wind-blown agitation – but not settled enough… Still bumpy and lumpy out there. North Bondi had some 1-2 footers…mid Bondi 3 footers and south end 4-5 footers. Winds are 8-13 knots of South Easterly. Tomorrow the winds should swing more around to […]
Patience
Let this storm blow over and then there should be some decent waves. At this stage, Thursday/Friday will be when the wind changes. Until then, 20 knots of gale is making a total mess of the surf. No one out surfing…few morning joggers running into the breeze, scores of seagulls hovering and cooler winter temperatures. […]
