Acclimatise
Before the sun rose, it was a little chilly. The last thing you felt like doing was dunking in the ocean, but if you did, you’d agree that it was well worth it! Super warm in, cold out…take advantage of the salubrious water temperature before it drops. The swell has dropped a few gears and […]
Fallow
The fields are empty and rogue waves are going unridden. A storm is in town and it’s not very inviting down the beach. After a subtle sunrise colour event, it returned to greys, rain and cold. A great day to be productive at work (inside). Wait for it all to calm down a bit…I reckon. […]
Goosebumps
There are waves, quite big ones (4-6ft) but are they rideable? Not really. I didn’t see many decent ones. Wild bucking horses everywhere I looked. Backwash blowing the backs out – the works! Offshore – si. Sunshine – plenty. Cold – very. Stoke factor – cosi cosi. Somewhere else would be good, or around here […]
Moving Water
“Bondi” or “Boondi” is an Aboriginal word meaning water breaking over rocks or noise of water breaking over rocks. Lots of noise from breaking water this morning as the swell has spiked into the 4-5 foot region. Even a few bay closeouts. But…it’s not lining up well at all and our delicate sand banks don’t […]
Telos
Hi. I’m in Indonesia for my annual surf-infused junket and loving it! We’re surfing the dregs of that swell that hit Bali for the WSL finals, and I won’t lie, it’s now small. When it’s small you can hit the exposed beaches which seem to always have a head high wave…and they’re so hollow. Not […]
I’m back…
I’ve returned from my little fling with the Indonesian islands. I can still feel the motion of the boat whilst standing firmly on dry land. Had a blast over there, not too shabby around here either. 2-3 footers, perfect sunshine, offshores and barely anyone down the beach this morning. Bingo. Good times. Get out there. My […]
Close
Perfect morning for a swim, wasn’t it? Even though it was chilly when you woke, a submerge into the Pacific proved very fruitful, very invigorating! Last year around this time we had 76 days of sunshine in a row – will this happen again? The swell has dropped out, and only 1+ footers remain. There […]

Bondi has tiny surf but big ticks in every other department…no wind, warm water, sunshine. 28 degrees today, that’s a beach day. Brand new NE swell inbound and should arrive tonight folks. Have a great Easter, we’re are closed tomorrow on Good Friday, but open Easter Saturday, Sunday and Monday! Hard working mob aren’t we? […]
Pronto
The swell has finally kicked and the winds are a gentle SW offshore. Bingo! It’s starting to get a bit big for our fickle Bondi sand banks, but there’s a few worth riding earlier today. Out the back is quite fat, shoreys looked super hollow and fun. Waves in the 4-5 foot range (10am). It […]
The Big Boys
Right on time. The south swell machine has kicked up a few gears and is now producing 4-6 foot chunks. Bondi looked wild! Too much hard work paddling around on the high tide. There’s lots of water moving. Bronte seemed a little bit more in control, 4-5 guys out, but didn’t see anyone surf good […]
Low tide shanks
If you get in your car and head north or south you’re bound to score something worth braggin’ to the fellas ‘bout. Why? Well we have a small east swell running, and its getting’ bigger as the day plays out. What else huh? Westerly winds all day long – perfect offshores making those low tide […]
