Sky Fire
I worked out that I’ve seen over 3,000 sunrises in my Aquabumps morning ritual career (15 years). Today’s sunrise was really something special…some of the brightest colours I’ve seen down there. I missed this morning’s twin, last night’s mind blowing sunset (which everyone is talking about)…so this morning made up for it. I was down […]

The surf is tiny but the water is warm and calm. Big crowd for such a small wave, all enjoying the summer vibe. Maybe some wind swell on the weekend, but this time of year ain’t famous for cranking waves. Better for partying and taking the foot off the gas. The postie is our new […]

A survey of over 400 adults showed approximately 15% are morning people, 25% are evening people, and 60% are intermediates. I reckon it’s more than 15% for early birds around here…especially this time of year. As I always write, the wee hours are the best part of the day. The light is good, the winds […]

The East swell came up very strong last night. Stronger than I thought. Waves are in the 4 foot range and looking pretty good. Bondi neglects that swell direction so you will need to visit more Easterly facing beaches such a Tama, Maroubra, Manly. It is going to hit 29 degrees today. Bask in the […]

The swell has arrived and so has it’s buddy the onshore wind. Waves are breaking higher than your heads (even on tall people like myself), but some serious onshore wobble out there. I didn’t feel compelled to paddle out…save it for another day. Owning a car around Bondi is a bit of a nightmare…no parking…and […]

The swell forecast was 21.1 seconds, South swell at 3.5 foot with NW winds. Translation = good waves at Bondi. Well that didn’t happen. It’s tiny. Instead it was more like: 25 degrees, perfectly sunny, no wind and knee to waist high waves. Oh, and water clarity incredible and warm water (still). I feel like […]

It was good to see a little bump in swell this morning. Finally the small wave days have come to an end. (for a little while) It was waist to chest high this morning down at Bondi. The swell is from the south, so we’d be seeing the best of it here in Bondi. It […]

Yo. I have to say we’ve had a decent run of small swells the past 3 weeks. Today I found shoulder to head high wind swells breaking at Bondi. It actually looked like fun…Not a patch on our famous left of last week, which has now been downgraded as the sand moved to the rocks. […]
