Morning Antics
Well hasn’t Huey switched on this morning. Much better than forecasted. We’ve got clean 3-4 walls rolling through Bondi, little wind and blaring sunshine (thought it was meant to rain – eh?). Gotta love Mondays when everyone is busy at work…Swell is dead south (that’ll be 180 degrees) and winds are westerlies. It’s going to […]
11 Seconds
The swell charts show a swell of 11 seconds, but there’s no height behind it unfortunately. What that translates to is a flat beach, but every 15-20 minutes 1 lone set wave will roll through at 1-1.6 foot. There was a queue of 6 longboarders patiently waiting for that lone set. Other than that it’s […]
Late
Thought the swell was going to pump up a bit this morning – looks to be running late. We still have some 1 foot dribbles with infrequent, one-every-15-minute-sets. It’s clean, winds are grooming offshore and not a cloud in the sky. Winds will blow 20 knots from the SW (that direction of wind is always […]
Brrr
Don’t be fooled by the sunny weather – is pretty chilly outside (7) – and it’s only going to get colder as this week progresses. Some arctic air is being pushed up by a low off Tassie…so the first weekend of the ski season should have something to slide on. Down at Bondi it all […]
Onshaw
Guess what? It’s still blowing filthy onshore. North Bondi has some protection from the East nemesis winds, and a few little surfable(ish) waves. Nothing special though. Exposed beaches are 4-6 foot…just messy as hell. The forecast says tomorrow afternoon the wind will kick around to the NE. Finally some clean waves will be on offer […]
morning meanderings
Well we’ve all had a real nice time lately. Swell has been plentiful, grooming offshores and lots of options in Sydney. Today looks to be the ugly brother of the previous two days…junkie, wobbly, dark yet still surfable. The best waves I saw along my morning wander was at Bondi, with smaller (but cleaner) 2-3 […]
Air
It’s that time of year again where aerial masters of the universe roll into Bondi and bust out their finest moves. Yes, the Boost Surf Sho is here…pity the swell hasn’t arrived with it. This morning we had small 1-2 footers on a left bank towards the middle. It was packed. Owen Wright (last year’s […]
bumps
There is a little bump out there this morning…2 foot, sometimes a smidge bigger. Conditions were clean, still and humid. 2 peaks on Bondi were packed with early morning frothers. I saw some good ones, and a lot of not so good ones. Mostly weak and fat (burgers). Something cookin’ on Monday wavewise…but looks onshore. […]
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 […]
Sizzle
The maximum temperature forecasted for today is 30 degrees…but it felt that hot at 6:30am this morning so maybe the Bureau boys have some broken dials. It is hot. Damn hot. You’ll break into a sweat just walking down the hill this morning…so a swim/longboard is the essential cool off. New swell direction today, NE. […]
dip
The good weather keeps on bangin’ on. Top of 28 today, but the clouds will roll in with a late southerly change bringing in a possible thunderstorm. Perfect day for a dip (with the camera)…1 footers on offer, and for some strange reason I saw a shoulder high smoker crank to the beach, but it […]
low-down
This surprise south swell is still alive and kicking. Must be pushing up from Victoria as its been pumping down there and coming in from the dead south. Bondi was 3 foot and mostly closing out. These banks just can’t handle it. A 7:30am high tide (when I shot) wasn’t doing it any favours. The […]
swim
After yesterday’s leap in swell size from 1 foot to 3 foot I’d thought there would be some decent waves this morning. Unfortunately its disappeared as fast as it appeared. The swell origin is dead south, so Bronte, The Bra etc would be watching it march on by to south facing beaches. Bondi was 2 […]
