Aquabumps.com - where the waves live

Tuesday, January 24, 2006

Shocking morning for surfing. In fact not ideal conditions for much at all as the wind ripped through Bondi shreddin’ the surf and flickin’ sand in the eyes. Damn camera nearly blew out of my hands. It’s unsurfable 6 inches at 7am - and yup people are still out there trying to catch a few in great optimism. The good news is that this wind will stir up some waves for the afternoon. Somehow I don’t think this howling South-south Easterly is going to back off though - so its going to be very av. Winds swing North on Thursday - perhaps the light at the end of the tunnel. Tomorrow still onshore E/SE winds.

Random stuff: The Great Thong Challenge, Australia Day 11am 26th Jan @ Coogee Beach. World Record attempt - longest line of people on air beds in the water (blow-up thongs) in conjunction with the Coogee Arts Festival. Register your participation
