All-Star
It was an all-star cast down at Bondi this morning enjoying 2-3 footers. Everywhere I looked someone was doing a major hack, air, tailwaft…etc…etc. Taj Burrow must of heard about our good waves and stopped by on his way home (W.A. could have some big waves this weekend). Love Monday’s as the crowds are super […]
Cape
Everybody is talking about it. Everybody is excited. Cape Fear, Red Bull’s big wave surfing comp will run this Saturday …I mean this Sunday @ 7:30am. Why the move in days? Well the winds look pretty damn strong on Saturday, even though the swell is huge. By Sunday the winds should be more offshore (SW) […]
9
Some days we have pictures of cars, retro architecture, sunrises and pretty girls. Today we have 9, yes you heard right, 9 images of just surfing. Why? ‘Cause it is good out there. Why 9? I think you are ready for 9. Internet speeds are improving so I can feed you more than the usual […]
The Goods
Today has a lot going for it… We have waves, a little gutless, but fun 3 footers. They’re coming in from the East-Nor-East which neglects Bondi so a drive in the car is imperative. Bondi was only 1-2 foot. The skies are clear…yep, we have sunshine and a forecast of 26 degrees. Sadly, by the […]
Fatty
I am not going to complain about the winter-like weather conditions we have in Sydney at the moment. Beltin’ summer is just around the corner, I just know it, so this is a good time to get some work done… We have some waves worth talking about this morning. It’s 3 foot – nice and […]
Sneaky swell
Hola. On Monday the forecast looked rather bleak – lots of zeros on the buoy charts. However the weather was looking impressive and I thought you’d be lying around Lake Bondi sunning it up. I’ve been surprised to find waves most days this week, albeit small ones. Today the SE swell has spiked up overnight […]
Fine
Oh boy, from now until the weekend the weather is gonna be just perfect here in Sydney. I’m talking mid to late twenties, clear skies and gentle northerlies. A nice introduction into summer. It’s a bonus that there is also a little, flimsy, weak wave floppin’ into Bondi as well. I saw waves around shoulder […]
Morning Fizz
Southerly winds were blowing this morning puttin’ loads of chop out there. Waves broke around 2 foot, sometimes 3. The left was better than the right and the southern corner better than anything else on the beach. At first it was cloudy, then it rained for a bit, now it’s sunny. Only 18 degrees today, […]
B e e f y
This solid south swell just keeps on giving. Last night it came in hard – I saw sets at Bondi that must have been 10-12 footers. I am talking one wave closing out the whole bay. At dawn Bronte had a wave…not many out as it’s a lot of paddling to get out. If you […]
The green hornet
People often ask me about the funny stuff I see on my early morning meanderings. Funny stuff is pretty much on tap down at Bondi. For example, at 7am this morning whilst I was shooting/basking in morning light, a gentleman ran past me wearing nothing but, what looked like, bright green undies. Odd. The outfit […]
Ghost town
When it rains around here, Bondi is like a ghost town. When it pours, you can park where you want, surf any peak without a mini mal clocking you in the head and drink up a fresh batch of rain-runoff diuretic. It poured this morning so most stayed tucked up in the rack. 3-4 footers […]
Heavy
There is a lot to get excited about today. The planets have aligned, the winds gentle and offshore, the sun shining, it’s warm in and out, and this current east swell just keeps on giving. It seems no one is at work today, the beaches are full. East swell is very handy in Sydney, as […]
Curvature
I was hoping this rogue swell would settle and line up better by now…which is has to some extent…but not enough. Most beaches around the Eastern Suburbs are still hard work with a large wobbly swell hitting. Bondi was large – 4-6 footers, mostly closing out. Bronte was fat and breaking right out the back […]
