Fridays are always fun, even with no waves, because of the One Wave Crew Antics. Today’s performance, a surfing swan, Hula Hula Supa, good looking traffic controllers and some other unexplainable fluoro frivolity. Never a dull moment down at Bondi. The surf is 1 foot from the ESE and a very chilly west offshore. The […]

Dribbles

It’s real small and grey today. Bondi only showed a knee to waist high dribble at 6:30am. Looks hopeful for a new supply of east swell that arrives tomorrow (ish). Best hang out until then. Some completely off topic stuff that you should know: Bowl-a-rama is this Saturday. Basically a whole pile of skaters (mostly […]

Bakin’

What a nice morning. Cooking with warm temps early. Every man and his lycra was out doing something at sunrise this morning – hard to sleep in with all this early morning sunlight. Surfing wasn’t too high on the priorities this morning as waves dribble in at 1 foot. Perfect if you’re new to the […]

My Bondi

With Uge away on a well deserved break, he asked me to throw a few pics together that paint a picture of Bondi from my perspective.  Trolling through my archives looking for Bondi shots, I realised one thing, it’s nothing but good times!  Wow… what a place to live, city bordering, coastal village, party town […]

Junkies

Still junkie out there this morning…but the swell is leaping up by the hour. At sunrise it was only 2 foot…and looking quite dire. When I last checked around 9am, sets were hitting the 3- 4 foot mark as the swell period rockets from 8 secs to 14 seconds. Oh, and another good thing is […]

As forecasted the swell has jacked up and we’ve got 3-5 foot Bondi chunks. It looked a little junky early, but by far the biggest waves I’ve witnessed in some time. The swell origin is 187 degrees (DEAD SOUTH) so any beach not facing the source will be neglecting the full extent of this swell […]

Blink

Yesterday’s brief 24 hour fling with 3 foot waves is all over – the plague of flatness has returned. Hope you sampled a few while they were here. Blink and you would’ve missed it. Today, its 1 foot, slightly onshore, overcast and best suited to beginners. Probably won’t fry your burger. Max 25 degrees with […]

Baywatch

Cracker morning down the beach…sat down there for nearly and hour, barely saw a wave come through above your knee caps and then Justin paddles out and BAM! pulls out some aerobatics. So I guess is must be surfable, but you’d have to be extremely patient. Perhaps 1 decent 2 footer every hour. Perfect day […]

Monotone

Even though it’s onshore – there is a decent little wave out there this morning. A fickle shallow bank was throwing out the odd tube section…but you had to pick the right double up. I’d say it’s 3 foot, E/SE onshore, High tide: 10:30am, low tide 5:10pm Sun popped out for about 10 minutes before […]
