Jordy Smith at Bondi
“It’s been a long time between drinks for a contest at Bondi, since ’88. I like Bondi a lot, it’s cool. It’ll be fun to be there and have a contest. It doesn’t sorta happen there very much. Usually its Rod Kerr running around the beach in his Speedos. But the rest of us are […]
FAT
Full as a boot out there today. 1.8 metres of fat at 7am high tide. Swell has hung in there with waves breaking 3-4 foot, but they’re all porked up. I would wait for the low tide. Slight onshore winds now, currently Easterly, but later 5-10 knots of North Easterly forecasted. Don’t expect much on […]
Fickle
Hard to pick the surf conditions at the moment. Last night was hot fun down at Bondi, some 6 foot bombs out the back…and most of the crowds were put off by the bad weather. Today I rolled down the hill full of hope – but it wasn’t really doing it. Junkie 3-4 footers breaking […]
Depleted
After the weekend’s decent supply of south swell, its finally ran out of puff. Bondi was 1-2 foot this morning, clean, but exceptionally weak. Very low crowd numbers in the water early – gotta love Mondays. Just unbelievable about the 3rd shark attack on 15 year old Andrew Lindop up at Avalon yesterday. He’s now […]
fresh
After that violent south change last night we’ve got some fun ones this morning. Bondi had 3 footers, but a bit wobbly since its a brand new swell, but it should settle. The massive crowds of last week have disappeared as the weather is much cooler. The regulars out enjoying the consistent peaks in the […]
Dreamland
Swell is dissipating fast. Bondi has a weak 1-2 footer that will have dissappeared by the time you read this email. Not worth surfing unless you’re a beginner. The weekend looks…well…flat…yawn…pass the crumpets. kelly is just not human. Kelly Slater just defeated Mick Fanning (current World Champ) to win the JBay Billabong Pro in South […]
Chubby
The swell charts are calling tiny to flat, but you’d still find a rideable bump down at winter swell magnet Bondi (chest high sets). It’s pretty chubby and weak, so you’ll need a fat board & a warm steamer. Winds are a chilly offshore – 5 knots. Sunny day but only 19 degrees. Don’t worry […]
Pros
Today’s Aquabumps update is written by a little hottie in bikinis on the beach waiting for her fella to come out of the surf (hence all the Slater stalking): “Pro surfers are as common as Bintang’s in Bali and I’m not torkin’ about mid-weight surfers here…it’s the Slaters and Dorian’s of the world. Did you […]
Decent
Decent day to go for a wave at Bondage. The weather was far from favourable with waves better than yesterday. At 7am I saw 2-3 foot consistent bumps rolling in. Nice Westerlie offshore, few showers…pretty cool temps (min 10 max 15). This south swell is due to dramatically increase this afternoon hopefully setting up a […]
