Let’s Dance

Stick your head out the window (if you’re at work). Cracker. 10/10. Super. After a run of storms we’ve finally got a week of perfect Sydney weather. How good is it? What are you going to do about it? There is a ESE swell running with North winds (1-2 foot). You can surf, need volume. […]

Magic

If I could, I’d spend all day down there. It’s warmer down there, underneath the waves. No mobile phones, no inboxes…nice and quiet. Just hanging with the sting rays. Perfect! The water was really clear and the waves tiny. Swimming for an hour or so sets you up for the day. I feel great. Very […]

Party Time

Gotta give it to those One Wave crew, they’ve surely started something big. It’s their 2nd birthday today and an enormous crowd rolled down to Bondi at sunrise. It could not have been a better morning for the crew. No waves, warm water and stunning sunrise. Bondi is surfless. North East swells don’t even enter […]

Bits

Little baby 1-2 footers are breaking at Bondi right now. It’s an immaculate summer’s beach day…stick the out-of-office on and get down there. Water is 21 degrees. I’ve had two swims before work…gonna try for 2 more today. :: uge

Transformation

G’day. From humble, grey beginnings today has transformed into a magic day. Currently 27 and sunny I’d suggest heading to the beach – now – before it morphs again into thunderstorms…like the past few days. Quite unpredictable weather at the moment. The surf is a flop. NE micro swell backing out knee high waves. I […]

Radiant

It’s days like these that make my job an absolute pleasure. Na it’s not 4-6 foot and pumping nor is Jon-Jon doing alley oops in the south. It’s just small with nice light and warm conditions. Bondi hosted a few peaks, better suited to the longboard variety. Everyone was out there with a big smile. […]

Rip Currents

The rip at 1st ramp in Bondi is a freak. So much water running out to sea it was unswimable. I tried for 1 hour but kept of sliding out the back into no-mans-land. Great day for a swim nonetheless, maybe up the north end where it’s all calm. Bondi has waves in the head […]

Head-Count

After perusing the internet it was quiet obvious that the waves were going to be good this morning at Bondi. West winds (offshore) + a good bank + south swell (streaming directly into Bondi) = stoke Big crowd this morning. The bank is fickle though and only works on particular tides…making it hard to read. […]

R U OK?

Today is “Are you OK?” day. Today is dedicated to remind people to ask family, friends and colleagues the question, “R U OK?”, in a meaningful way, because connecting regularly and meaningfully is one thing everyone can do to make a difference and even save lives. Big crew came down the beach this morning to […]

Quiet Bondi

After a very busy weekend Bondi has returned to the quiet. 150,000 people ran into Bondi yesterday. It was packed. The surf wasn’t too bad either. It’s the biggest day of the year around here. Hope the legs have recovered. To kick this week off, we have waves. 3-4 foot at Bondi. It looked fat […]

Flyday

It’s Friday…or Flyday as my Chinese ancestors say. It’s the end of the week and another day of belting sunshine and warm conditions. Waves are tiny, like 12 inches…but the One Wave Fluoro crew were loving it – as usual. Great to see so many smiling faces in the water – even with no waves. […]

Sliders

The waves have been great around here. Real good. Only small, but as you know Bondi can’t handle too much. The banks have been very generous with rights, lefts and multiple peaks. To match the good waves we’ve had huge crowds. Friday afternoon was one of the busiest I’ve seen on one peak. Mayhem! Today […]

Friday Loco

Hey. Wasn’t it a nice lil’ surprise to see some decent waves down at Bondi this morning. Our south facing beach was squeezing every inch out of this southerly swell…every inch. I was expecting 1 footers but found the odd head high set. Bonus! It’s Friday…the fluoros are out in force and swell looks to […]
