As forecasted the swell has jacked up and we’ve got 3-5 foot Bondi chunks. It looked a little junky early, but by far the biggest waves I’ve witnessed in some time. The swell origin is 187 degrees (DEAD SOUTH) so any beach not facing the source will be neglecting the full extent of this swell […]
Deus
Bondi is on-snore today. The howling southerly is still with us making mince of anything rolling in. At least it’s not crowded and there is the odd 2-3 peak. Sometimes the wind can put up a little lip at Bondi…a nice change from fattie Bondi. Clouds and rain will clear by lunch, winds will swing […]
Flare
It was an all star cast out there this morning – Wylie Moyes, Caleb Reid and Perth Standlick. The local guns flaring up amongst the 4 footers at Bondi. It was a shame Bondi’s banks weren’t putting up sections for the boys – most waves were pretty much flat. Somewhere must be going off right […]
Stealth
A mini-stealth swell has been sneakin’ under the radar all week. Today is no exception with 1-2 footers in the corner…bit weak…but surfable (and crowded). The water is gold…warmer than norm and clear. Go swim. Offshore all day…max 21 degrees. Summery morning with thousands of morning exercisers and the odd passed out dude…ah yes, Bondi […]
Corner traffic
Sorry about the lack of updates lately – it’s me not you. Today the swell has managed to wrangle a 2-3 foot wave in the southern corner of Bondi. It looked great, when they came through, but it was very inconsistent…and crowded. It’s 2:50pm and the NW winds are hooooowling 25-30 knots. So paddling into […]
Dancing with freighters
After the great waves of yesterday the swell charts had hinted an even bigger, better day today…but it didn’t really eventuate. The swell maintained size in the 4-5 foot bracket at Bondi but the winds swung around to the SSW creating some junk in the bump. Bondi wasn’t really handling the large conditions well and […]
Corner delights
Ideal conditions for Bondi this morning – and everyone is onto it. Big hungry crew frothing over 3 footers in the southern corner. Gentle side/offshore winds (SSW)…sun is shining…water is reasonably warm and everyone is due to head into the office soon. A good time to paddle out… This swell will progressively get smaller into […]
bustin’ fins out
Not too shabby down there earlier today (sorry for the late update – phone wouldn’t stop ringing all morning). Bondi had a 2-3 foot wave, little bit messy due to a slight onshore breeze. Plenty of crew out before work – some good surfing going down as well – fins flashing all over the place. […]
Supply
A fresh supply of sou-easterly swell is consistently pumping into Sydney’s beaches today. Waves at Bondi were a decent 4-5 foot, but the flanking ESE onshore was making its presence felt. Bondi had the odd random wave but the banks weren’t really handling the size. I’d suggested a protected reef break…maybe something out of town…it […]
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 […]
drive thru east
We’re fully stocked with south swell, but there isn’t many surfing options in the Eastern Suburbs. Bondi was 4-5 foot, actually rideable (as it wasn’t over the weekend), but you’d be up for fair bit of paddling dodging close out sets. Little drive around the corner and found a mystery reef, slabbin’ – but that’s […]
Local Swell
So yesterday the charts were right, a late increase in swell provided some fun, 2, ok-pushing-it-a-little-3-footers down at Bondi. Well they’ve hung around this morning, combined with clear warm skies and gentle offshores – yep – few waves to be had. Swell is quite weak, being only a wind swell, but a good reason to […]
