L:e:s:s
Yesterday was small, today is smaller… Every 20 mins a rideable ‘wave’ may roll through, but it’s not worth getting out of bed and walking around in the rain for. Again I grab a coffee, sit down and browse the swell charts in hope for a leap in size – nope, nuttin’. Our book, The […]

There will be no mention of the weather today – as that’s all I’ve heard all morning. Let’s just say it’s not ideal for surfing or photography. Waves are 2-3 foot with barely anyone out. Ok, it’s extremely messy as well – but she’ll settle down and you’ll find a few later. Entries have closed […]
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 […]
Light on
There wasn’t not much for me to work with down the beach this morning at Bondi. When I got there the sunrise glow was finishing and the clouds thickening. The waves are a flimsy wind chop -1 /2 foot and best suited to the learner variety. It was kinda dark too, but here are a […]
Solar
Today is not a great surf day. Today’s a good day to do everything else. Last night we had waves – but now they’ve gone. Today the sun is baking, the westerly winds are howling and skies are 100% clear. Tomorrow is a new day with a new dead south swell. We like those at […]
Ombak Kecil
So here we are…drifting between islands in search of good waves following swell charts and good weather. It’s been small so far, 3 to 4 foot – with some really small low tide sessions. Windy too which is not normal for this equatorial surf haven. Early this morning we had some sheet glass but just […]
Fizzer
I’ve written the start to this daily email 3 times and don’t really have anything amazing to say. It’s well, um, 1-2 foot and junkie out there. The good news is that at 6:20am there wasn’t a soul out on the main peak. I’m torkin’ not one human – not even a beginner drifting down […]

We’ve got a full blown east swell which is neglecting Bondi at the moment. You will have to go for a drive to an east facing beach like Maroubra if you want to get wet – even when you get there you’ll only find 2 foot weak waves, but at least it’s sumpin’. Nice weather […]
Ni hao
Hurro from China. Kane Skennar got out at Bondi to shoot my morning snaps again today seeing I’m a long way from the beach. Fortunately it looks like the onshore wind has died down, the waves are 2-3 foot and a few junkie opportunities around the place. Tomorrow should be cleaner (but again smaller) – […]
Shifty
This morning the conditions were very random. Shifty 3 foot peaks popped up here and there, plenty closed out…quite hard work as the swell looks somewhat confused. I just checked it out at lunch time and it’s improved a hell of a lot. Sun is out too – bonus. Winds are the favourable offshore W/SW […]
Return to normal
All back to normal after 150,000 people rammed into Bondi yesterday for the City to Surf Fun Run. What a big day in Bondi it was. You’ve never seen so many people in our hood. Well…6:30am this morning was the complete opposite, very few out surfing, not many in the car park, bit of rain […]
