Marourbra 7am – head high plus and looking tasty I woke to a playground of perfectly clean over head high waves. Iiiiikaruuumba! The sun is shining, its warm, you can surf in boardies and any beach facing east or north east should be pumping. This morning glory is to be short-lived unfortunately as a predicted […]

Bondi 7am – FughedabouditHowdy. Not looking to flash for a surf today. Swell is now coming from the ENE and is missing Bondi. Even at beaches facing the swell will be struggling to produce a wave over chest high. It’s a weak wind swell and lacking the grunt. The good news is its going to […]

Bondi 7am – very small, clean and sunny. Pure gold morning. Best ever…but I say that around 3 times a week. Sunshine is blanketing Bondi this morning, very little wind, and even less swell. Yep, it’s micro and probably best suited to beginners. Perfect day for a laze down the beach before the North easter […]

Bondi 7am – junky waist to shoulder high After a winter’s day yesterday, we’ve now got sunshine and clearing skies. The 2 days worth of howling southerlies have stirred up some swell which peaked last night before dropping considerably for the early this morning. Onshore SE wind of 15 knots mashing any quality rolling into […]

Bondi 7am – north swell not touching Bondi The north swell machine continues to roll past Bondi today…south facing beaches barely picking up a knee high wave. Loads of crew bobbing up and down nonetheless, optimistically. This north swell is getting bigger so any beach facing north (or even east) would have a few on […]

Bondi 7am – nope, nothing to see here.Aloha! The wind swell is coming from the NE and missing Bondi. With the combination of early onshore winds it’s not looking to flash at all this morning. Bondi has knee high dribbles not worthy of a paddle unless you’re just starting out. Wind is currently 15/20 knots […]

Bondi 6am – much smaller, but cleaner. V.crowdedOpps…Sorry – late report today…(nope no surfing for moi)…Bondi was filled with sunshine (and people) this morning. The south swell has backed off only pushing knee to shoulder high waves into the bay. This didn’t put off a huge crowd scufflin’ to get their share of the pie. […]

Bondi 7am – bumpy fat burgerlandBondi is picking up the best of this south swell with waves over head high on sets. The annoying Easterly winds continue for the third day, making bumpy surfaces. Easterlies seem to get in every nook and cranny of Sydney. Later today we’re expecting a northerly shift in wind direction […]

Bondi 7:30am – bigger (slightly) and bumpy with onshoresThe good news is that the swell has come up slightly overnight. The bad news is the South easterlies came with it producing junky/bumpy surf at Bondi this morning. Expect waves around waist to shoulder high at South facing beaches, which hopefully will get bigger as the […]

Bondi 6:30am – better waves in my hairAloha. It’s perfect. Perfectly flat and sunny that is. The shots today are a little misleading, as I waited around 20 minutes for a decent set to roll through which could only be ridden on a mal/jetski/surf ski/rescue board/Tana’s speed boat/hand pod/lylo/submarine/dolphin…so best grab the beach umbrella, a […]
