LIKEY LIKEY
If you were to pick a week to take off from work, it would be this one. It’s all come together rather nicely. Summery weather, Luke warm bath water and a healthy supply of south swell and offshore breezes. Today is a cracker. Small, shoulder to head high waves suffering from morning high tide fatness […]
S A V A G E
That was one hell of a storm that blew over on the weekend. Brutal. Saturday night I thought I was going to be roofless. The swell was rogue for most of the weekend and you needed to seek protected corners to find a wave. Balmoral and the harbour even had waves. The swell is dropping […]
Squint
After a short 24 hour stopover in Torquay I’m back up in Sydney to greet the good weather and fun, small waves. Real nice morning, soaked with burnt orange rays and barely any wind. Huge crew out in the water before sunrise, apparently a lot of tourists dropping by for the day. Hungry pack with […]
Solar deity
It’s official, today is one of the best days of the year so far… It’s a combination of warm water (24), 28 degrees on land and it’s Friday before a whole weekend of sunshine. Definitely time to hit the beach. Come see us in the Aquabumps gallery all weekend long if you’re down our way. […]
re-ignite
Sorry about the slightly late update, been watching 12 foot bombs at the Hawaiian Pipe Masters, Would you paddle out there? Last night before I closed my eyes I checked the weather and it said “Showers in the morning, clearing”. Couldn’t be any further from the truth. Clear skies, 24 degrees, blue water, chest high […]
observations
The plague of small swell continues. Bondi had 1-2 footers and is still very weak (windswell). Not much else to see down there – apart from a whole pile of people. Nice weather, max 27 degrees, maybe a thunderstorm later. Pretty flat until some good stuff arrives next Monday/Tuesday. Sit tight. Most of you probably […]
stunted
Hard to believe Christmas is this Friday – where did this year go? Looks like many have fled town for their summer holiday…Bondi was remarkably quiet(ish). Hell you might even be able to find a car park along Campbell Parade. Pity about the swell. It’s tiny and from the NE, sooo not suited to Bondi. […]
Spike
Hi there. Wow. Special morning. If you slept in you’d be kicking yourself as not only was it bakin’ hot and clear skies… that expected swell spike arrived and produced fun (not perfect) waves in the 2-3 foot vicinity. Ok, so it’s quite weak and fat due to a 7 sec wave period, but throw […]
6:30am
Not much doin’ down the beach this morning. Drove around to a few beaches and then returned back to Bondi to find the only rideable wave was 1 foot, with infrequent 1.3 foot sets. Looks pretty flat for a while as the new season kicks in. At 6:30am it was jaw dropping to watch the […]
Fijian Blues
Aquabumps is going to be broadcast from the little island of Namotu this week (that’s Fiji). It’s heaven over here. The colours of this place are insane. Clearest blue water in the world I’d say. Sometimes I’d be shooting something (like the boat shot) and even I can’t believe the fluoro hues that are flash […]
Parko
With 10-15 knots of early easterly winds it’s pretty junkie out there. At least there are waves in the 2-3 foot range…nothing special. Maybe wait for tomorrows swell spike. Parko is Back! Joel Parkinson (AUS) has just won the Quiksilver Pro up at Superbank in style scoring a perfect 10 with a massive tube. Could […]
