Greetings. Welcome to summer and a brand new week. For the next 3 days we will experience salubrious beach weather. I strongly suggest slipping out for some beach time. The waves will be small so either surf a mal or just swim. Our Aquabumps Gallery Christmas Order deadlines are creeping up real fast. If you […]
P L U N G E
Today we enter into Spring. True. I know most of you probably feel like that happened a few months ago. But it is here now, and looking real pretty. Today is a cracker. Go outside. Bask. Surf – nope. Still nothing. Later this week you will see some swell, but most days of this week […]

Today is the smallest day to surf for the week. There is a residual East swell in town and Maroubra was bleeding it dry. I saw sets around chest high at the Bra…looked fun but inconsistent. Of course I have to say this…the weather has been incredible…so warm for this time of year and the […]
3rd RAMPAGE
The morning began with an electric sunrise over Benny Buckler…fluoro reds and pinks splattered across the skies. That lasted for about 5 minutes and then she went all grey. The waves were unimpressive this morning. The forecast was much stronger but the swell just didn’t happen…seriously… it barely got over head high yesterday…where did it […]
G R I D L O C K
Ok, now that’s 3 really nice mornings in a row and everyone is onto it. It was PACKED this morning…not just surfers/swimmers…more water photographers than Pipe! The waves were waist high but around 7:30am I witnessed a small pulse, which threw in a few nice waves at South Bondi. I just rode the pushy pass […]
L U M I N O U S
I could live off a healthy diet of good light any day. Love tubes, clear water, rare moments…but in good, warm, rich morning light you can make the mundane come alive. This morning hosted the best light I’ve ever seen. Ok, at least the best light I’ve seen in weeks. The sky light up around […]
Flame Up
After a week of rogue waves, you can finally return to the water as the ocean has settled down. It’s head high at Bondi now, clean and looking quite good. Wow, what an excellent sunrise, one of Sydney’s finest. A perfect thin ceiling of cloud hovering above Ben Buckler, lit up from the bottom as […]
Alignment
This week it looks like our planets are aligning…oh boy, it’s good. To start with the weather is immaculate, sunny, clear and the next three days will soar to 25 degrees. Not bad for this time of year. Ok, she’s a little chilly at the start/ends of the day…but at least the water is a […]
Red
There has been some freaky natural moments going down in the past 24 hours. Let’s start with that super moon last night, wasn’t it huge? Biggest it will be in 25 years. At 6am this morning the sunrise was sprayed red above Sydney. T’was quite the spectacle. And now we have a thumpin’ east swell […]
: : B l a z e
I wait patiently for these types of mornings… Sometimes we get nothing for 2 months, sometimes a year goes by without any hint of gold. Every morning I stick my head out through the blinds looking for that thin high cloud with a gap along the horizon…something that will really turn on…and 9.9 times out […]
Brink
Things are changing, the water is a degree warmer, the car parks are full at sunrise and the swell radar has a lot of noughts on it. Good bye rogue winter swells, hello sunshine. Pack the performance boards away and bring out the four-finned, short’n’fat sled. Grovel time. It’s going to get warm tomorrow (25) […]
Cirrus
The clouds stole the show this morning… Wow, what an amazing winter’s morning. At 6 a.m. I woke with pink hues pasted on the side of my face – it’s orrrrn! 2 seconds later I made the mad scrambled down the lift in jocks, double parked with lenses rolling around at my feet. I only […]
Bondi Fix
Hola. Damn fine morning. Chilly though. Small little bump at Bondi (1-2 footers), clean and infrequent. Most crew where on the right/left in the corner, but I didn’t really see it do much – most waves started off flash, but fattened out pretty quickly. The sun is out, the skies full of colour at 6:30am […]
