Bondi 7am – waist high on sets (just), Mal dayClean crisp conditions for a microscopic NE wind swell. Not worth surfing – perhaps take the mal out for a muck around. But that’s about it. Biggest sets were around waist high and really infrequent. Sun is shining and morning temperatures are on the increase. Maximum […]

Bondi 7am 1-2 foot, forgetaboutitIt’s a day for the beginners. Tiny weak waves were struggling to produce anything decent. Long waits between ripples and a huge morning crowd enjoying the sunshine. Great morning to be doing something other than surfing, water is still chilly 17 degrees, but worth a dip. I’m sorry to report that […]

Bondi 2-3 Foot, playful but bit on the small side, crowded As expected the swell has retreated overnight robbing us of the fun head high chunx of yesterday. It is still surfable, yet small and crowded – unfortunately predicted to drop as the day progresses. On the bright side, it feels like summer with salubrious […]

Bondi 7am – 3 foot all over the shopNothin’ much to get excited about this morning. Swell size has increased overnight producing waves around head high – but it’s seriously lacking shape. Really bumpy, messy & weak. Bit all over the shop. Not many crew out… Tomorrow is looking bigger (and hopefully better). Wind: S/SW […]

Bondi 3 foot – looking the goodsSensational sunny morning with clean head high waves pumpin’ into Bondi. This week’s south swell is hanging in there to produce some decent waves – worthy of a paddle. Big crew out at middle Bondi scoring some good lefts on a newly formed bank. Southern corner has nothing but […]

Bondi 7:20am – 3/4foot, messy but a couple coming throughHola Ninos! Rain has stopped this morning which allowed me to take a few snaps. All this rain…but in the wrong spot? How about a little in those damns. Swell has declined and now waves are up around the 3-4 foot mark from the south. Offshore […]

Bondi – 2-3 foot, quite straightHad to happen…yep, swell is on the decline after a sensational week of surfing. Still surfable today with the odd head high set out at Bondi, however suffering the lack of decent banks (broken record?). Couple of waves in the corner, but not as good as it’s been. Should have […]

Bondi 8:30am – knee high, straightThe waves have picked up slightly overnight, but before you get too excited, it’s gone from totally flat to knee to waist high. Bondi has absolutely no banks and it pretty much breaking straight, so best give it a miss. Winds are currently clean offshore – this is predicted to […]

Nup. 6 guys out […]
