Inside
Well hasn’t it been a good week. 4 days in a row of offshores and decent swell. This morning it was still on – even barrels in our area, but a lingering south change will put an end to proceedings. It’s gonna blow – 30 knots. Barrels, big monster barrels, Kelly, Taj…if only it could […]
Kelly Slater at Tamarama
What a great week of surfing in Sydney. Yet another magical day – 3rd day in a row….ah yes, sunshine, 3 foot clean waves from a easterly swell, and now a grooming northerly. Gold. It’s not every day Kelly Slater’s in town…well, he dropped in last night, surfed Solander on dark and popped down to […]
Yesterday
Hi. I like yesterday more. Yesterday was an amazing beach day. Wasn’t meant to be. Forecast was for rain, but it cooked up and the skies stayed clear until the late south change hit whilst we were all sleeping. Today is a grey, rainy junkyard. No one surfing, no one on the beach. A good […]
TB @ KB
World ranked no. 3, Taj Burrow was out at K-Bay last night. Quite spectacular to watch what is possible on your home turf. Even when the waves weren’t great, TB was pulling off some of the biggest airs with amazing pace, making it look way too easy. Yesterday’s swell has now dissipated, and at sunrise […]
Blow
The howling northerlies were in early today. We currently have swell – just no quality. Exposed beaches were 2-3 foot, junkie and chaotic…dudes going left on rights, rights on lefts, 4 per wave, SUPs going head on…eeck, outta there. I’d say have a lay day and wait for the weekend’s goodness…We have so much swell […]
Remember me?
Hey – happy new year kids, yep, we’re back on for another year. May 2011 bring you plenty of swell, buckets of green and the odd shady cave. To start the year we have an east wind swell with east wind. Not the best combo. Conditions are a little junkie but surfable (2-3 foot at […]
Silly Season
Summer has finally kicked in and silly season has begun. Scores of people hit the beach yesterday, and some didn’t leave (see exhibit A above, must’ve strolled at of the Bondi hotel at the wee hours, fallen in Hungry Jacks, then passed out on the beach). Onya buddy. Poor fella has probably only been in […]
Horus
Surfing should be a really low priority for you today, as the week of flatness continues. The wind has icy claws and is currently blowing 20-30 knots (strong). Put the boards away until the weekend. I hung around Bronte pool this morning and watched all the locals performing their morning rituals, some swimming, some just […]
Friday the 13th
The swell has come up and surpassed all of our expectations – it’s huge! Seeing it’s coming from the dead south Bondi is wearing the full brunt of this new ground swell. I saw sets up in the 8-9 foot range closing out the whole bay. Quite exciting really. I love how big waves stop […]
One Hit Wonder
Bit like a Britney Spears one hit wonder, the swell came and gone within 24hrs. Yesterday afternoon was smoking. Smoking. Around 2pm I drove around the eastern suburbs beaches and swell was stacked up to the horizon, breaking clean in offshore winds….ah yes… hell the sunshine was even out. Hope you managed to get out […]
C O L D F R O N T
Quite a unusual morning in Sydney – sunny then stormy. It all began with semi-clear skies and a overnight spike in swell heights. Waves are now breaking 3 foot from the south and lookin’ tidy. The early morning high tide was bit of a problem – most waves I saw at Bondi were either fat […]
D i v e r s i t y
Volatile weather at the moment in Sydney – not too dissimilar to the north shore of Hawaii. Sunny 1 minute, raining the next. A grey calm morning out there. Bondi had a neat little 2-3 footer, glassy and classy. Shame we have no decent banks. Right now it’s sunny and raging West-Sou-West winds – looking […]
Rip Bowls
Hola. Nice little wave breaking down at Bondage – nasty rip sucking you out to Ben Buckler though. That kept me busy all morning whilst swimming with zee camera. Hard to stay in one place. Waist high/2 footers rockin’ in. Water is warm, no wind, and plenty of sunshine to enjoy the dregs of summers. […]
