Bondi 7am - clean shoulder high with slightly larger sets
Not baaaaaad. Conditions cleaned up this morning. Bondi had a few head high sets early - looks like everyone was onto it with a large morning crowd. Due to the lack of waves over the past couple of weeks, lots of frustrated surfers trying to fulfill their wave quota (Wal quota 100+ daily). The south swell was lining nicely, however the banks are due for a renovation as quite a few chunks closing out straight. Expect 20/30 knots of howling NE gales late this arvo, which will probably decimate this south swell and create a few northerly bumps ready for sliding on the weekend. Sunday and Monday looking quite good at this stage.

God has created lots of cool things; surfboards, women (not in that order), Pipe, Rainbow Paddle Pops, Macaronis, HT’s, Megan Gale…but what was he thinking when he created Blue Bottles? Yep, they’re back and stinging ya at your local break. boo…don the wettie.

And the winner is… Joseph Biondino - Congratulations, you’ve won a new Billabong surfboard. Just so you know Ben Stiller is the Hollywood mega star who makes a cameo appearance in the new Taj surf film FAIR BITS. If you haven’t seen the McCoy surf film festival yet, get down to Cremorne Orpheum over the weekend (sessions Fri, Sat, Sun). Buy tickets online
