Bondi 7am - waist to shoulder high, tide affected
Hola. Disappointingly the swell decreased overnight leaving us with waist to shoulder high waves down at Bondi this morning. I will eat my words from yesterdays report - thinking the swell was gonna hang around. No such luck kiddies. It’s still fun and surfable, but the raw grunt from Monday seems to have dissipated dramatically. Perhaps the 08:44am high tide drowned our aquachunks, and the 15:17 low tide will bring improvement in size. However the predicted afternoon E/SE 10/15 knot wind will take the edge of any afternoon quality.

I shot in the water this morning with the extension pole and fisheye. A powerful rip kept me paddling furiously for over an hour - think I lost 10 kilos in the process. Power kip on the floor is coming on now. Zzz-zzz-zzz
