Sky Curtain
Monday is the most peaceful morning in Bondi. It was also a dark morning, which kept many in bed. (Not to mention, it’s silly season. Chrissy parties are slowing down the early risers.) A thin curtain of cloud filled the sky, open on the horizon, so light illuminated upwards. It was spectacular for a short […]
Cronullafication
Today’s fresh serve of Aquabumps comes from high in the sky, around the southern shire district – Cronulla. The ‘Nulla is one of Australia’s surfing reserves. The reefs around the Shire have a lot to offer, from psycho slabs to cruisy mal points to easy beachies. Famous surfers come from this coastal haven – Occy, […]
Swell Hangover
Well…where do I start? OK, maybe watch this first. The weekend was full of rogue south swell. What an action packed weekend! So much going on. 10 footers were a common sight. I thought it was quite hard to find surfable waves though. I didn’t search too hard, but it was maxing out, everywhere. Yesterday […]
Cronullification
I like Cronulla. It’s a good Aussie beach suburb. I spent a bit of time down in ‘The Shire’ this morning. The people are just so damn nice, every says G’day. Cronulla, a surfing reserve, also hosts some of the best barrelling, slabbing reefs in the country. They’ve got a setup for every condition which is […]
Bondi tsunami
Bondi tsunami – ain’t that a jap feature film or sumpin’? You all know by now that we had a Tsunami warning in Sydney yesterday and all metro beaches where closed (they even called off the Quiky Pro for the day) . We’ll we’re still here, the gallery (which is very close to the water’s […]
Beasterly
I had high hopes for this morning after surfing big Bondi last night. It actually was quite solid on dark, and not 100% closeouts if you can believe it. The swell has dropped back a gear within the 3-5 foot range, but the nemesis east wind was in early, ruffling any decent bumps out there. […]
HELIsurf
Some neat little waves on offer this morning up here at the Goldie. Exposed beaches like D’Bah had the odd 3 footer…but wow…thick crowds just like Bondi, just not so many L-Platers. Looks like everyone is limbering up for World tour stop No.1 – the Quiky Pro. Swell comes up today in QLD, and tomorrow […]
Morning Sickness
The talked up swell arrived and Bondi is working at 4-5 foot range. Nice. It has morning sickness though, choppy, bumpy and swells not lining up. At sunrise Bondi didn’t look that special so we took a spin down to the newest National Surfing reserve better known at The ‘Nulla. Thinking it would be lining […]
the ‘nulla
Frustrated with the 1 mile of close out on Bondi, smokin’ the chariot to south Sydney options was rewarding. The swell spiked up overnight and is now coming from the ESE (@ 11secs). The winds are good – NW – which is perfectly offshore. Many options for a wave today – it’s hard to be […]
