Spike
A lil’ spike in swell is providing plenty of waves for all this morning. Tad more south in it, SSE at 9.6 secs. Quite a few breaks working around the 3-4 foot mark and this morning’s low tide (5.11am at 0.44m) is puttin’ some hollow in them walls. Board snappin’ material. The weather man is […]
Dry July
The East swell of yesterday has ran out of puff overnight. What a ‘one-hit-wonder’ that was. Its flat, like a lake. Bondi was 1 foot (if you waited long enough)…you’d need a 9 foot mal to catch anything as its super weak as well. Chilly day, only 18. Brr. Winds are W/NW and strengthening (20 […]
Northern Exposure
There is a lot of talk going around how good the waves are…few people getting pretty excited. Well I did a big drive around, and yep, there is plenty of ENE swell hitting and perfect offshores from the West. Hell even the sun is shining….but I didn’t really see anything between Bondi to Maroubra that […]
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
Cross-shore-chunks
Plenty of swell around… but the annoying sou-sou-easterly was disrupting our chances of decent waves. Bondi was blown out and of no use. Bronte had a small wave in the corner 3-4 foot, being slightly protected, I but didn’t really rate it either. Manly perhaps? That’s if the south swell isn’t marching right past their […]
Volatile
The weather has been so volatile lately, you just don’t know what to expect. The weekend’s easterly swell has dissipated and now we have a brand spankin’ new south swell – with plenty of grunt. At sunrise it was only 4-5 foot, the last time I checked it around lunch it was 6 foot plus. […]
fools gold
With all this swell around somewhere has got to be going off. A brief drive thru the eastern suburbs beaches proved fruitless – fools gold. This decent NE swell is completely missing Bondi and streaming into Bronte and Tama – but the high tide is killing it – fatness everywhere and many closing out. Didn’t […]
Moving chunks
There are a lot of places I’d rather be right now. Don’t get me wrong, sitting in a dark room above the Aquabumps Gallery pumping out the daily ritual of 5 photos and ramble is better than licking stamps or diggin’ a holes for a living. A mate of mine, Sam, just walks around his […]
Big chunks
The swell has kicked up overnight and waves are breaking around 6 foot. Small time Bondi isn’t handling the new big conditions well – max’d out. In fact I couldn’t find anything worth surfing along all the eastern suburbs beaches. North Bondi has a confused 3 foot hollow left that predominantly shuts down. Bronte was […]
Its Arrived
From flat to 6 foot in 24hrs. The anticipated swell arrived and is streaming into Sydney’s beaches will plenty of force. With swell lines stacked to the horizon, its a pretty picture down the beaches – but – it just doesn’t seem to be breaking anywhere decent from Bondi to Maroubra. Bondi was 6 foot […]
1 guy out
This week starts off pretty lame in comparison to last week’s gold. I only saw 1 guy paddling out at Bondi earlier today – so that says it all. 1-2 foot of dribbly bits today as that forecasted small ENE swell didn’t really eventuate. Fortunately mid this week you’ll find good waves (3-4 foot) from […]
shows over
Well what a fantastic couple of days surfing. Unfortunately the grunt from the recent swell has dissipated overnight and we’re left with only 2 foot of weakness. I didn’t really see anything worth rushing out the door for this morning in comparison to Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. The swell charts show a rapid […]
smooookin’
Woowee. Damn smoking morning. You wouldn’t have to look too hard in Sydney to find a decent wave at the moment. It seems so many breaks are crankin’ with this consistent SE swell and fortunate offshore wind (NW). Bondi looked a little straight due to the tad of east direction in the swell. The 7:30am […]
