Let’s talk honestly… Bondi is great for so many reasons…beach culture, nightlife, vicinity to a major city, great galleries, youth, arts, energy…but it’s not well known for its waves. In fact, when I travel and tell people I live and surf in Bondi they have that disturbed look on their face and say…”you poor thing”. […]

All you need to know about today is that the winds are offshore and there are waves around 4-6 foot. How good is that? Bondi can’t handle anything over head high so get in the car and bake it out of town. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday of this week are all good surf days. Does anyone […]
BONDEYE
You’ve got to be pretty happy with this week so far… There’s been something to ride most days…and more coming. Weather has been rather pleasant as well. Today I took photographs (note, not captures, I hate when people call photos captures) down at good ole Bondeye. The swell has swung around to the South so […]

It’s Friday and the swell is dropping just in time for the weekend. It’s still rideable and chest to head high on sets. The NW (6kn) winds have really cleaned the place up and the new banks are working a treat. After all that rain I reckon the south drain pumps out some sand into […]
FULL MOON FEVER
Sorry about my recent radio silence. I’m in Bali and wanted to take a few days off shooting and catch a few waves for myself. There’s always waves here, it’s small at the moment but the swell magnets have a lil’ sumpin. Even when you’re not surfing there is so much to do, buy, drink […]

I’ll keep it short for you today… The swell has come up a little…it’s now breaking around your waist line (but is very weak and suitable for Malibu equipment). The swell is from the ENE so Maroubra, Tama, Bronte should have more swell, but let’s face it, it’s not pumping. The water temperature has dropped […]
Bondi Bumps
We haven’t had good waves in ages. Not much has broken over my head during the festive season in Sydney. My shrink told me to look at other sports over summer, you know, be less 1 dimensional and spread my energy into sports less dependent on fickle weather’n’waves (or move to Hawaii). Today we have […]
Pop Up
Nice little surprise to find some waves down at Bondi this morning. At around 8am it seemed optimal. Little wind, shoulder high waves on a couple of banks. Not too fat. An hour later, around 9am it didn’t seem as good. Maybe that’s a sign to go to work. This week will roll like this: […]
Dawn Dip
There was a little right hand wave in the middle of Bondi. Packed and a little dangerous but fun. The bank looks good. Was a pleasure going for a dawn dip…water is clear and decent temp (rubber still required). Southerly is gonna blow 20 knots this arvo whipping up a bit of swell for the […]
Staple diet
Wow, what a morning… I hope you got up early for it. Today’s 8 images taken at sunrise depict a staple diet for us …a shot of the Icebergs (std), couple good surfing shots with waves overhead high (tick), a sunrise shot over Benny Buckler (No.356,767), a surfing lifestyle shot with Andrej paddling out in […]
EOFY
Today it’s all about surfing as the waves are pretty good (but the light not so good). This week’s south swell had dissipated and a new, clean, fresh ENE swell arrived switching on joints like The Bra. It’s around head high on sets, predominantly chest high. Winds are offshore, so it’s lining up nicely. My […]
Radio Silence
Good morning. Sorry about the radio silence and all that. You’ve been deprived of your Aquabumps daily dosage for a few days now and I’ve been getting some knarky emails wondering what is with my disappearance. I am back and I am in Bali. Haven’t been back here for a little while…16 months to be […]
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 […]
