Mush
Take at look the photo above…that kinda sums up the beach today. Mush burgers. The wind is howling and we have isolated showers. You’re not really missing anything down here on the beach. Feels like winter. Do some work. Have a cup of tea. :: uge
Frigid
That pre-sunrise offshore wind has a bite to it – duzzzinit? Another cold morning dropping to 6 degrees. The air is super clean and super crisp. Colours seem to pop in this winter air. I like that. We have a long period dead south swell in town. South facing beaches would be attracting 3-4 footers…inconsistently. […]
180
This morning did a complete 180. At 6am you could hear the pitter-pattering of rain on our roof. I hit the snooze button a few times before rolling down to the beach. Upon arrival the clouds parted and it transformed into a nice day. Small waves as well, mainly the 2 foot variety. Bondi is […]
Cosi Cosi
Things were looking up at the beach this morning. The surf conditions have improved. I saw waves around chest to head high. It was good on the lower tide – not so great on the incoming high tide (now). Some interesting light beams lately…some call them “The Fingers of God”. Always something new down the […]
Crook
Good morning. Apart from some pretty amazing light dancing through the gaps in the clouds there wasn’t a lot going for this morning. The waves are a grovely chest high…extremely onshore affected. Only two guys out at South Bondi which says it all. Pretty chilly morning, around 7 degrees before the sun rose. Days like […]
Bump
The computer charts will show little or no waves today, but I reckon there’s a few down there. I saw a chest high set at 8am…ok, so they’re not frequent, but if I had nothing to do, I’d pack a bag + board and spend the day down the beach. How good is it? Forecast […]
Good Times
So glassy, so smooth, so good to see a few waves down at Bondi this morning! I think the good times will be short-lived as an onshore wind is about to blow. I saw some tasty rights in the corner – bit of junk on it…but well worth the paddle. I’d hit it now before […]

It was all nice and glassy down the beach this morning. A fog entered the bay around 7:00am and there was a cruisy, well-formed right hander tucked away in the Icebergs corner (with only 3 on it). I swam out there and snapped a few. It was real nice. By 12pm it will blow a […]
I L L U M E
It’s nice to have a bit of sunshine, isn’t it? Dry out all the damp from the past few days. The surf is horrible. Onshore, 4-5 foot, mushy and ugly. This wind should calm down tomorrow…be better then. I am selling some stuff on ebay…pretty much new 15 inch MacBook Pro, Canon EOS Camera 1d […]
Ghost Town
These rainy days are hard work for me. Trying to polish the grey mundane into something interesting for you all is no easy feat. Bondi was empty like a ghost town this morning – in and out of the water. The intermittent showers seem to be keeping everyone indoors. The great news is that you […]

Did you see the sunrise on Saturday down at Bondi? Wow. One of those special ones where the right ingredients all came together and the sky was a blaze. Bondi is at its best when it’s not perfect, overcast, random and when it’s a Monday. At first glance it looks pretty average surfwise this morning. […]

It takes a very flat day to score an empty line up down at Bondi. I reckon 350 out of 365 days a year we have a hungry pack scouring for waves, no matter how big it is. I can confirm it’s unsurfable, grey and windless down the beach right now. A 7am rain squall […]
Crumbs
It’s quite the ugly day outside. I’m digging deep to give you the positive spin. My new garden is loving the rain but the boards are tucked up snug in the board bags. Waves are ankle to knee high and junk. Worst I’ve seen in weeks. Swell is coming though. Next Tuesday looks BIG. Hard […]
