Bondi 7am – shoulder high sets, clean, closing out or fat
Sorry for the late report today (no wasn’t surfing all morning -mowahahaha). Summery morning with clean waves down at Bondee this morning. Clear skies and reasonably clean conditions pushy the odd shoulder high set in the southern corner. Def. surfable. Bigger sets seem to close out straight or blow-out into fattie burgers – perhaps more water on it would be healthier. Every now and then a fast wally one would poke up…northerly winds, south change tonight. High tide 16:30 low tide 10:18. Swell is easing tomorrow.

Shark Attack at Bronte
Talk of the town over the weekend was surfer Simon Letch’s shark attack at Bronte around 6am on Saturday. First reports 3 metres…tiger…then 2 metres…bronzey…now 1.5m….Simon’s ok, just his new board had a bit of a nibble… Simon’s pretty laid back about the whole ordeal as I saw him paddle out Bronte again this morning. We were quite oblivious to it all at Tama on the right that morning…

Wal’s out

It’s a good time to go surfing at the moment. Your wave quota will increase ten fold seeing infamous wave hog Wal is officially out of the water due to a busted up foot. The injury obtained whilst break-dancing at The Eastern on Satruday night…sober…obviously.

What a cracker day (max 31! Yeha!). Pencils down…head to the beach.
