24 hours
It was a comfortable, warm Bondi morning with neat little waves. The waves were bigger in the pool last night though! Only 1-2 foot around here at dawn. It’s a maximum of 25 degrees today, and it’s perfectly sunny as I write. A swim after work is definitely on the cards. It’s a strange feeling […]
Switch
Finally, it’s switched back to our good times—a morning of light, warmth, and vibes. After days of grey and drizzle, we’ve been rewarded with a very comfortable Wednesday. A very large mob was down there from sunrise—lots of activity! Surfing is on the back burner as one footers limp into the bay. It’s 25 degrees […]
Subdued
It was a very quiet Monday down the beach. The 5am rain dampened everyone’s motivation to slip down the beach before work. It was dark, still and Bondi was one foot due to the swell direction neglecting our bay. Eastern-facing beaches had more action, but it’s on the decline. We have an overcast week full […]
Onshore Grind
Another day of onshore grinding; it is not very picturesque out there. A steady flow of south-southeast wind made a mess of the bay and cooling it down. Significantly few people around, everyone opting to do something else. I get it. Our grom squad were out, training for the Olympics 2028-2032. Finally, there should be […]
Friday Masses
The combination of a Friday and a cracker-27-degree day was just too seductive – Bondi was packed! Packed! The conditions are calm, and the surf is tiny—beautiful for a morning swim. Swim groups were in full swing. Everyone was so happy with the sun shining and the water warm. Tomorrow won’t be as nice. A […]
Mercoledì
It evolved into a beautiful beach day, but its beginnings were dark, overcast and overrated. A much warmer morning and the Wednesday crowds flocked to the beach. Waves are tiny, just a tad above flat…the 100-litre longboards littered the beach. The Nor-easter is blowing 18 knots, so North Bondi is completely protected and suitable for […]
BLOW
Too much blow. It’s onshore and messy. The small waves are suffering under these conditions. Lovely sunrise though around 6am. The sun ducked in and out all morning, even threatening to rain occasionally, and it remains cool (22 degrees maximum). Don’t forget Ben Lucas’ memorial paddle out is at South Maroubra on Sunday at 6 […]
Surf & Sculptures
Another sensational morning, sun, surf and sculptures. The waves continue with a slightly junkified 2-3 foot. South wind with South-East swell combo is in town, and multiple peaks are in operation along our 900 metres of Bondi. Rain is coming, and there is a chance of a thunderstorm this evening. Go outside now before the […]
Bueno
Looking the goods out there today. It started dark and cloudy but has now blossomed into a corker. The waves turned on for the morning session too. Three-footers galore, lovely bowls on the inside, and a massive rip kept the lineup beginner-free. We’re heating up to a very comfortable 25 degrees, go outside, it’s magnificent. […]
Volatile
It’s been a weird combo this morning: sunny one minute, rainy the next. It’s like it can’t make up its mind about what kind of day it is. I understand it will be clearing into the arvo (and 23) and should produce a nice arvo (apart from the onshore east winds, which will lift a […]
Friday’s Surprise
All the forecasted lousy weather is stuck up near Newcastle overnight, giving way to an exquisite sunny morning in Bondi today. The junkie swells now look more lined up, and a hint of the new south swell seems to be feeding the bay. It’s gonna get big tomorrow. There were really small crowds for a […]
Onshaw
The smothering southerly is here, and it’s making a mess. The rain will come later tonight (9-15mm), but until then, we have a much cooler day (23). I saw waves around waist to chest high, the gruesome onshore junkie variety. The water was pretty empty, but plenty of people were on the beach. Good day […]
Superb
What a cracker day outside, as we creep up to 27 bangin’ degrees. There are still waves, sometimes head high and throwing hollow on some new sand at the south—lots of seaweed and bluebottles. With weird current movements, your cruisy paddle out in the corner has turned into a churning washing machine of rip currents—hence […]
