Bondi 7am – waist to shoulder high – onshore junkNot looking too flash down Bondage this morning. The swell has come up but so has the wind (15 knots of onshore SE). Quite a few beginners out enjoying the uncrowded conditions…I would save your energy for the weekend – because it’s looking reeeeaaal noooice for […]

Bondi 6:30am – nope…no action Under a cloudy sky this morning, Bondi wasn’t really producing much at all. A confused weak swell is dribbling into Bondi rarely producing quality worthy of a paddle. Size – around knee to waist high, quite a large crowd considering conditions. A south change this afternoon will shake things up […]

Bondi 7am – head high junkies Hello all. Yesterday’s late south change has kicked up some swell for head high waves this morning at Bondi. Quality is poor and bumpy as it’s just a wind swell, yet still rideable. Swell is coming from the SE and looks decent, so hopefully it will clean up before […]

Bondi 7am – head high for the grommiesIf you’re 13 years old, around 3 foot tall, 30 kilos – today is going off for ya. Small waves lacking in power are dribbling into Bondi this morning. 2 lil’ tigers, Raoul (13 yrs old) and Perth (14 yrs old), where out there this morning dominating. Keep […]

Bondi 7am – waist high with slightly bigger setsWhen the weather is this good, I reckon we all deserve a day off. It’s impeccably sunny with next to no wind this morning. Surf has dropped off overnight, leaving us with beginner friendly – waist high waves, and occasionally larger sets that don’t really go anywhere. […]

Bondi 7:12am – waist to shoulder high, totally closing out The 06:21am low tide was detrimental to the surf down at Bondage dis mornin’. Waves were pretty much shutting down as they collapse on the exposed sand banks. You couldn’t even get to your feet – so until the water comes back, forgut-about-it. (high tide […]

Bondi 8am, shoulder high on sets, bit messy Downtown Bondage again put on some small waves for us to enjoy this morning. I’m not torkin’ going off, but there’s fun to be had. Wave height is around shoulder high on sets and the surface quality was a little bumpy, nonetheless worthy of a paddle in […]

Bondi 6:15am – Bumpy chunks, over head highAn increase in swell overnight has produced decent bumpy waves from the South east. Size was great, but the shape wasn’t too flash. Bigger sets closing out on the southern bank with only a handful of guys sniffing around at 6:15am. All up, it’s surfable and good for […]

Bondi 7am – shoulder high, bigger on setsHello. Sorry for the late one. There are still waves today. Bondage was working and loads of crew for the early. Couple of peaks, one in the middle and a decent left/right in the south. Noticed big gaps between sets, so you’d have to be patient. Not much […]

Bondi 7am – big sets, hard workI watched 6 guys paddle out @ Bondi, 1 by 1 they came in after catching 1 wave. Hard work against this big swell and large volumes of moving water. Some of the biggest sets had 10 – 12 foot faces…There would be a few good waves in one […]

7am Maroubra – shoulder to head high – not bad How-yooo-doin. The swell has decreased overnight leaving us with very clean, fun, small waves this morning. This ENE swell is nicely finding its way into Maroubra earlier today (7am). Today is one of those days you just don’t want to be in the office – […]

Maroubra 7am, 3-4 foot reeeeal noiceChecked out Maroubra this morning and was impressed. This ENE swell is definitely funnelling into the Bra. Was pretty crowded at 7am, but still quite a few waves to be had. The main peak was in the northern corner with a decent left rolling off it. The wind was offshore […]

Bondi 7am knee/waist high, wind chop, junkie Forget-about-it. The NE winds have picked up overnight creating a local wind swell not really worthy of a paddle. Looked more like waist high wind chop to me…the interval between swells is very short and the insistent onshores ain’t doing it any favours. Small crew out at North […]

Bondi 7am – waist to chest high, busyA small ESE swell is trickling into our part of the world at the moment. Perfectly glassy early morning conditions producing some small rideable waves, nothing much over head high – average around waist high. The NE wind is going blow this afternoon, so best get in early.

MBondi, 2-3 foot inconsistent and cleanHello. Well it’s all happening down at Bondi – snow, crazeee thunderstorms and now a few waves. Yesterday a freak hail storm created our own snow field on the Bondi hill…(?) few crew getting air on their snowboards (thanks Bridget Fleming and Steve Back for photos.) Too funny. On the […]

Bondi 7am 4 foot and mushy There’s swell this morning (along with wind and rain). It’s from the south and quite chunky. Slight onshore SE winds making it messy, but you’d have to get in the car and head to the northern beaches for some decent stuff (e.g. Manly). Forget our side – need protected […]

Bondi 7:30am – head high (+) but messy, onshore Hello. 1st day of spring aiii. There be a swell increase last night which is the good news. But the SE onshore winds have decided to come with it. Bondage was looking mighty junky and fat at 7:30am, but I would check the low(ish) tides for […]
