This morning’s improved conditions revealed waist – sometimes shoulder high fatty bumps at Bondi this morning. The early morning high tide (9:20am) porked out any decent chunk – the 4 o’clock low tide diet pills required. Approximately 40 guys spread along the length of the beach enjoying a decent sunrise and relatively still conditions. Winds […]

New swell from the south has kicked in…But so has the onshore SE winds from last nights storm (spectacular lightning show). This morning Bondi was pretty butchered with this wind. Only a few frothas out optimistically seeking random peaks – not much coming thru. Very full morning tides (High tide 08:27), Low tide 15:04. Let’s […]

Have to say it’s better than yesterday, but still not good enough. The swell was lining up slightly better but still breaking around knee to shoulder high with a freak head high set that Robin caught. Bumps are currently coming from the east. Fine day with heaps of sunshine and a tasty 27 degrees. Moderate […]

It’s pretty bad. Actually real bad…knee high crumbly bumps littered with blueys and onshore. I’m not really painting a great picture – she ain’t pretty. Weather doesn’t look too bad, partly cloudy with 25 degrees and east to south east winds. I don’t even recommend swimming unless you like the tickle of a bluey wrapped […]

What’s the surf doing? Not much. The swell has dropped a couple of gears and is dribbling in from the east. South facing Bond-age ain’t privy to such energy breaking only around da knee caps. Exposed beaches should pull waist to shoulder high with a decent SW early offshore. Winds will swing East – perhaps […]

Swell machine has pumped up a couple of notches – and the wind came with it bashin’ quality out of any moving morning chunk. Waves are around 2-3 foot (odd bigger one), onshore sloppy jalopy. It’s surfable, but random – so only keen frotha’s will enjoy. The sun is shining as we’re going to hit […]

Highly sought-after golden light sparked up this morning, making shooting a pleasure. A trickling NE swell currently flirts with us – offering knee to waist high waves at exposed beaches such as the Bra. Super clean conditions, with gentle NW winds and deluxe 23 degree water. Waves are surfable, but they’re not packing much. Winds […]

I would love to say it’s crankin, drop work, hit the coast. But no such luck. It’s micro and muggy and it doesn’t look like its going to change until the weekend. We’ve got a 27 degree day ahead of us with NE winds. Could be the odd thunderstorm to top it off. High tide […]

Nothing exciting happening down the beach this morning – nothing except for a classy sunrise which has been lacking of late. Waves have dramatically dropped and knee high dribbles is about all you’d score. Glassy conditions with little or no wind early, which will blow NE this afternoon. Only 26 degrees with cloudy periods and […]

Greetings. The swell is now coming from the south and Bond-age is picking up the best of it. The annoying east wind is making it sloppy though – hard to hide from this wind direction, so you won’t find any cleanliness today. Couple of sets around 3 foot. Mega rip in the south end kept […]

Hello. Today’s small NE swell ain’t doin’it at Bondi. Best check out something more exposed to the NE direction (e.g. Bra, Whaley,). Bondi was only pulling knee cappers best suited for a swim or 8 year old groms (e.g. Frothn’ Beo). Sensational sunny morning, warm water, heading to a top of 26 degrees today. South […]

Was going to write a witty(ish) detailed report – but it’s too late in the day for that. So here is the 5 sec report. There are waves. They’re decent size (3-4 foot). But it’s totally shutting down straight. We need better sand banks. Suns out. Hot 31 today. Clouds coming. NE winds. Swell is […]

After yesterdays howling southerlies we’ve got waves this morning down at Bondi. Its rating decent on the grunt-ometer with waves breaking 4 foot with larger sets (perhaps 5ft). Only one problem – it was mainly shutting down at 7:30am and looking a bit random. In saying that I did see the odd boffable section with […]

How about that psycho south change last night. This morning you’d probably found your SULO bin blown down the street with its contents spewed out all over your neighbors lawn (now they know you eat S.P.A.M). There is a lot of chunk in the bump today. Swell has picked up dramatically and Bondi is pulling […]

Hola Chuiqiuitas/chicos que tal? Mighty fine start to the week with a cracker sunrise and silky smooth surfaces down Boondhi way. Main ingredient lacking – swell. Small knee to waist high dribbly bits broke in the southern corner, best suited to the novices. It’s not really worth a surf – not unless you’re frothn’ or […]

Hi. Early morning rain delayed the morning’s shots so its lunchtime bumps. Bond-age looking okish in the middle of the bay with a few wonky burgerish peaks. Slight onshore winds amongst chest high sets. Nice little left in the middle with a beltable inside shorey. Nothing to race down here for. Only 25 degrees today […]

The swell slips another gear – leaving waist high scraps amongst morning mist down at Bondi. There is plenty of North East in the swell origin, so Bondi isn’t favorable. East facing beaches might have freaky sets up around shoulder high – especially on the lower tides. High tide 12:00 Low tide 18:29. But what’s […]

Hola. After some decent waves yesterday the south swell machine has backed off allowing a smaller, weaker east swell to massage our shores. Bondi was breaking pretty small, waist to shoulder high and quite straight – surfable, playful – not mega. Great weather conditions with an early morning offshore (north winds) and some late morning […]
