indoors
I saw a dude paddle out at south Bondi, shortly to return to the beach dissatisfied with the whole ordeal. I then saw another lone wolf drift out in the middle of Bondi, copped a rinsing, then returned to the beach, off to work. Further north at Mirra Kirra (aka North Bondi), I saw 3 […]
baked shorey
Ok, after a short stint of winter yesterday we’re back in summer’s bake – hooray. Waves are clean, 2-3 foot and green. Winds offshore. Most banks at Bondi had something playful – but if you wanted performance waves a short drive in the car was the best option. Big crowd up early before work…plenty of […]
nor-east
The swell has gone nor-east and period dropped. Bondi still has some fun little ones (2 footers), just need to drop anchor whilst waiting in between sets (rips are horrendous – still). Clean’n’offshore right now, brief moment of sunrise glory at 7am before returning to greydom. Max 19 degrees on land, will rain, yes, oh […]
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 […]
Utopia
Sunrises seem to memorize people. Bit like seeing a whale. When it’s a good sunrise everyone stops in their tracks, jaws drop, heads tilt as they stare into the burning inferno – a lot like a Roo in your headlights. Today’s sunrise was a cracker – best one yet for 2009. We’re so fortunate that […]
Cheap Tricks
Replica morning to yesterday. Micro waves, hot, plenty of activity on the beach and a little bit of fog as the hot air mixes will the cool. The wave situation is quite dire….1 foot dribbly bits. The swell radar shows little relief for the next 7 days. Head to Hawaii, Victoria or Margies where they’re […]
Dry Patch
We’re in the middle of a small swell drought. There are waves…really small ones – you’d have to be very keen as the power throttle is way down to a 5.5 second period. That won’t push much, well anyone over 40 kay-gees would struggle. Most of my mates are double that. Some even triple (Damo) […]
Rogue Burgers
The amazing thing about living in Sydney is how close you can actually get to big waves. Today the swell is up, waves at Bondi thundering across the bay around 8 foot…mean while you can sit poolside and have a coffee at Crabbe hole (Icebergs) just metres away and check the sets. Last night Bondi […]
