Antithesis
After a string of glorious hot beach days we now have the complete opposite. She’s all cooled down now. The fat high pressure system providing hot conditions has blown out to sea revealing a much cooler low that is now sitting over us. Winds are onshore and the surf is a mess. Yesterdays massive crowd […]
Hereward
Finally after a long spell of very small waves we have something to ride! Yes, waves. Bondi is 3 foot, Maroubra was a bit cleaner and I saw some bigger sets. Interesting stuff: The Bondi Board Riders won the teams event and 2nd in the overall for the Australian Board Riders Battle on the weekend. […]
Into the Wild
Well that was a wild night in Sydney. I hope you found your Sulo bin this morning, probably hanging down the end of the street with all the others. Trees have fallen over and sand dunes have been created in the Bucketlist. Crazy times. It’s been raining, solidly for about 12-15 hours now. The garden […]
Thunder
Did you know that “Maroubra” is the Aboriginal word for place of thunder? Plenty of thunder down there yesterday. It was pumping. The leftovers weren’t too bad today, head high and super clean before the storm hit. Unfortunately if you are reading this update and haven’t already surfed – you missed it. Shows over. This […]
D-Bowl
It’s so good to have the sun back. Haven’t seen it in a while. Like the rest of the week the surf looks pretty junkie. I rolled on down to Maroubra to see if it was catching any of this East direction in the swell. Kinda was… Not many people surfing. In fact I only […]
Wildlings
Conditions are pretty wild here in Sydney. The swell has kicked and there are 6 footers on the loose. The swell looks disorganised. The howling winds not helping. A couple of little protected corners would be good today…not unreal. Not like Teahuppo was yesterday. Oh man…what a day of surfing. I am kicking myself I […]
Misguided
We have waves! Good ones… I’m giving up on forecasting this week as reality is exceeding my predictions, daily. It is 3 foot and from the south east. Super clean with chilly offshores. Bondi and Maroubra both had good waves. The joys of winter. ::uge P.S. I lost one of my favourite flippers today at […]
Beefy
I’ve returned to Sydney after my lil’ Indonesian junket and wow, we’ve got some beefy swell in town. The swell is nearly 180 degrees which means its VERY SOUTH. I know of a few little reef nuggets that would be firing right now with these grooming west offshores. If you’re not in the water right […]
Shelter
With all the recent agitation in the ocean it is looking a little wonky out there. You will need to seek sheltered corners to find rideable waves. Bondi looked pretty random…but at least it’s uncrowded. The surf forecast looks healthy for the rest of the week. A new swell on Thursday and something really good […]
Mono
I was quite surprised to see energy left in this East swell. The Bra had plenty, early. Sure was wonky though! Barely any wind around and some fun peaks around our hood. Brave the dark clouds and reap the rewards. Today is it though – she’ll fade away into the afternoon whilst a new south […]
Funtimes
We are still reaping the benefits of past northern storms…its 3-4 foot today and fun! The sand banks around the east are lacking. Sets at Maroubra were closing out, Bondi was small neglecting the majority of the swell source and Tama, well…it was just being Tama (fools gold). I recommend packing up the whip and […]
Inviting
The swell has kicked around to the East providing a few more options today. It’s still tiny yet surfable. I saw waves break around waist high with the odd set in the vicinity of shoulder high. Regardless, the windless conditions and warm water should be enough to motivate you. Bondi was in a very good […]
G R E Y
She ain’t pretty this morning. Wet, grey and wobbly. The swell has tweaked around to the North but looking really unsettled and short period (windswell). You will still score a head high wave…but you’re not missing much. A good day to do your Christmas shopping as tomorrow the sun is back! Chrissy shopping? Yes kids, […]
