Aquabumps.com - where the waves live

Monday, September 19, 2005

After being spoilt with perfection in Indo it can take a while to adjust to our beachies. Some of the good days are shadowed by distant holiday memories of long workable walls, warm water, pure glass and the odd tube.

This morning, however, was quite impressive down at Bondi around 7am. The onshore winds of yesterday have now swung offshore (NW) allowing south facing magnets to produce some good little waves. It not much more than shoulder high… breaking quite nicely on a couple of sand banks. The usual demolition crew were smashing it up…

The sun is shining, water still bit frosty and Bondi’s summer silly-season of chronic activity has begun. Early morning sunshine seems to be motivating many to do some form of exercise. It’s going to be 21 degrees today and mostly sunny. Winds will swing around to the NE this afternoon. High tide 8:55am, Low tide 3pm. The start of this week looks more promising than the tail end. Best days: Monday / Tuesday Worst days: Friday / Thursday

Stylemasters
Australian Premiere of "Style Masters" is screening on Wednesday Sept 21st at the North Bondi RSL at 7:30pm. Cost is $10 (just rock up). This flick is shot in the late 70s on Hawaii’s North Shore which includes the Gods of surfing : Lopez, Rabbit, Richards, Carroll, Buttons and other hot doggers. The second film for the night is "Downhill Motion" - a vintage classic skatey flick. Get down there.
