Pulse
A pulse of long period, southerly swell entertained the masses this morning. The left was working consistently, the right fattening out. Looked quite good really… and I’d say the next few days should be decent. Swell will pick up this afternoon as the period hits 15 seconds overnight. 15 seconds is Indo style…so it’s a […]
fresh
After that violent south change last night we’ve got some fun ones this morning. Bondi had 3 footers, but a bit wobbly since its a brand new swell, but it should settle. The massive crowds of last week have disappeared as the weather is much cooler. The regulars out enjoying the consistent peaks in the […]
Melt
Gonna be a stinkin’ hot day – fat and salubrious thirty-five. Doesn’t get any better than this. Sensational morning down the beach, don’t be fooled by this hot weather- the water is still a chilly 16 degrees. Tomorrow is much cooler day (25) after a dramatic south change later – soak it up, wag work. […]
vivid
Sun drenched morning with a the odd 3 footer at South Bondi. At 5am the crowds were already onto it and a small bank in the corner provided a few fun ones. Water seems very cold, like 15, but the land today is going to be a crackin’ 30 degrees. By midday today the waves […]
Chaos
There were a few small waves in between the huge early morning crowds. It was seriously busy for the poor quality of surf. Chaos. The 8:30am high tide was putting a load of pork into the bump this morning…fat as. No wind early, NE later. I just checked it at 10am and there were some […]
Summer
Well you know summer has arrived in Bondi when 5 pissed guys asked me for a light at 6am (who look like they’d been up all weekend, wired, and just wobbled out of the Bondi hotel). Or maybe it’s the fact that the beach is coated in litter, a two seater lounge has been left […]
soaked
I am a big fan of this weather. Doesn’t get much better. Even though it’s only toppin’ 20 degrees, today is soaked with sunshine, there is hardly any wind and Bondi had a beginner’s peak in the southern corner (scrappy 1-2 foot). There seems to be a decent chunk of sand under that peak so […]
Fizzer
Yesterday’s talked up storm was a fizzer. Those gale warnings downgraded. There was enough wind last night to stir up some local wind swell for the early risers down at Bondi. 2-maybe close to 3 foot. Short rides seeing this locally generated swell is lacking grunt. The odd wave was worth pursuing. Winds: W/SW about […]
change
After spending a week with 20 friends on a secluded 1 acre island, returning to 31 degrees and a crowd of 30,000 on Bondi was quite a bit to get your head around. What happened? This hot weather is nuts – and 30 degrees again today followed by a wintery 20 tomorrow. So make the […]
Fresh Serve
Quite a special day out there today as we heat up to a salubrious 23 degrees. The waves have halved overnight, but Bondi still has a 4 footer worth slaying. Looks like a lot of people thinking the same thing as two huge packs of early morning crew scrapped over incoming peaks. I am talking […]
longboarders heaven
Not much doing down the beach this morning. Well, pretty much carbon copy of yesterday. Clear spring skies, a floppy bump breaking on 2 shallow sand banks. Hand full of mal riders dominating the peak. Sets got up past your waistline, 1 or 2 even up to your chest, but they were quite infrequent. Seeing […]
Spring
We’re in the home straight for summer now, you can feel it. 1st day of spring and the sun is belting down. With a maximum of 20 degrees today you should try and get outside – especially since the forecast is for rain from Wednesday onwards. After a unexpected great weekend of surfing (yes I […]
grey
With a rainy start to the day Bondi was pretty much deserted. The storm drain in the south was pumping out all kinds of gooob…didn’t look that inviting. In the middle of the beach a lefthander was trying to work as two guys took it in turns, Wal and Luke Kennedy (Tracks editor). Swell is […]
