swim
There’s not a lot doing down the beach this morning. Overcast skies dominated, the usual suspects scrapped over a 2 foot left towards the middle and the ‘dozer is out pushing sand up against the concrete wall to conceal any exposed concrete reo. Swell is from the ENE so I reckon the Bra might have […]
Week Off
Hope you filled your wave quotas last week, as this week the swell forecasts are looking grim. Good weather, but a dying East swell. From today on, the current 2 footers will fade into 0–1 footers so catchup on work. Friday’s weather forecast is going to be 25 degrees though…maybe take that day off. Apart […]
Aquabumps Out-Of-Office
Thank you for your email. I will be out of the office today as there is a lil’ 2-3 foot fun right hander in the middle of the beach at Bondi. The sunshine has also returned after a brief spit of rain overnight. Winds are a bonus SW (but will blow 20 knots later today […]
Fluky
After a short burst of golden light its toned back to greydom. Stormy conditions and a medium range swell hitting from the south. Bondi is harnessing the favourable swell direction and breaking 4-5 foot out the back. Even though the wind has dropped and its semi-clean, its still unsettled and random. A few guys paddled […]
Soggy
A nice arvo with the sth africans at Maccas. A world Class wave.
bustin’ fins out
Not too shabby down there earlier today (sorry for the late update – phone wouldn’t stop ringing all morning). Bondi had a 2-3 foot wave, little bit messy due to a slight onshore breeze. Plenty of crew out before work – some good surfing going down as well – fins flashing all over the place. […]
moisture
Since we last spoke the rain has subsided, winds backed right off, fog has moved in and the swell has halved. The tamer conditions are producing decent 3-4 footers down at Bondi, but there is still a slight wobble from the recent agitation. Low tide is at 10:12am and high at 3am. Looked quite fat […]
Free Car Wash
This low continues to provide rain, wind and swell. At least its toned down a little from yesterday, the wettest day of the year so far. Look on the bright side, at least all the salt has been washed off your car. Bondi was a random 4-6 foot this morning. Not much lining up at […]
Corner Bits
Even though there isn’t a great deal of wind around the 2 foot waves at Bondi were a bit all over the place. The current swell period is just 6.2 seconds. That pretty weak surf. The winds are currently variable and will kick around to the E/NE later today (5-10 knots). The great news is […]
slumdogs
Shooting pictures on these dark, mundane 2 foot mornings is challenging. Let’s hope this cloud cover burns off real quick. Bondi has a choppy peak in the corner that occasionally produced something worth riding. Mostly duds though. The swell charts show a subtle increase in period from 9.0 seconds to 9.8 seconds…and then onto 11 […]
Disheveled
The swell we’ve all been waiting for has arrived – but so has the wind. South facing Bondi is squeezing every ounce out of this solid SE swell. Waves are breaking 5 foot + this morning…but it’s a pigsty. Flanking 15 knot southerly is disrupting surface quality. Basically we need this wind to die, give […]
Feverish
There was a micro wave hitting a shallow bank at Bondi. Well kinda… 1 footers predominantly broke with chilly water (boardies alone is not sufficient). Waht a steamy night (not talking about with the little lady)…it’s bakin’ again down the beach with massive morning crowds enjoying the fruits of mid-summer. Maximum of 30 degrees today […]
steamy
I was surprised to see a little wave in close to shore this morning. Sets would have been around 2 foot, breaking left and right. Nice morning to go for a surf as its currently 27 degrees (at 8am)….which is really hot for this time of day. Bondi Beach was packed by 7am … People […]
