This stealth south swell continues to deliver small waist high waves into Bondiville this morning. Two distinct peaks had the odd wave…but you’d have to be patient in the lulls. Cold wintery day with overcast skies, currently 12 degrees. A good day to crank out the work. High tide 11:30am, Low tide 5pm. Light winds […]

Those that brave the chill will be greeted with 2-3 foot, offshore Bondye this morning. It’s not perfect, closing out in most cases, but worthy of a slashathon. Multiple peaks in operation, predominantly lefts with boggy fat sections. Water has dropped to 18 degrees whilst the land temp is 7 – 18 degrees. Winds are […]

Wearing 4 layers…including puff daddy, kicking that tin can over the hill before sunrise expecting to find pancake heaven, when wot tha, eh, nice little chest high peaks rockin in at sunrise. Don’t know where they came from or how long they’ll hang around (probably gone by the time you get this), but it’s offshore, […]

Every good run has to have an end… today is the first day of ankle biters after weeks of surfable waves. Swell has deteriorated overnight leaving us with weak knee cappers in the middle on Bondiville. Only 4 guys out enjoying the sunny (but chilly) conditions. Good day to lie on the grass in the […]

Hola. The early morning high tide porked out any rideable bumps this morning. Swell has dropped and now south facing beaches will have 1-2 foot waves with chilly SW offshore winds. It’s really pretty ordinary and the beach is deserted. Approaching lower tide should improve conditions before the southerly blows and messes it up again. […]

The talk of the town this morning ain’t the surf that’s for sure… Proud Aussie flags have popped out from every nook and cranny basking in the joy of last night’s draw between our ‘Roos and Croatia. Dang For those that managed to get out of bed there are a few small waves in our […]

Today’s no oil painting – that’s for sure. Not unless Turner is one of your favourite painters. Under a thick ban of black clouds waves broke around 2 – 3 foot this morning down at Bondi. The swell has tweaked direction back around to the east origin and the ESE onshore is mashing up surface […]

I think it was better earlier. A cold kept me in the rack this morning (hold the violins pls)…so by the time I got down there onshore winds had started disrupting surface quality. It’s still around the 3 foot range with a favorable leftie close to the middle Bondiville. 3 guys out under dark rain […]

Eh?(scratching head)… Thought it was meant to back off – nup, swell is still lingering with 3-4 foot sets pumping into Bondiville. Gentle offshore winds making for perfect surfaces – mad sunrise this morning. Winds will swing onshore so I’d be hitting it early. You’ll find waves all over the place, The Nulla, Curly, Narra. […]

There are waves but it seems no one is surfing them… Still in bed perhaps after watching the ‘roos? Or this early more chill getting the better of us. Bondi had a wonky wave..a right in the south which had a quick section before blubbering into fatness. I thought it dropped overnight – say around […]

Our back paddock’s got lots to graze of today, and it’s only gonna get bigger (but not necessarily better). Swell has increased a tad overnight (say 4 foot), consistency high, and there are plenty of lines queuing up out the back. The 6am low tide was making it shut down, but conditions will improve closer […]

Still the goods down here at the beach. South facing beaches extracting the most out of this swell. You’ll find waves around head high, sunshine and SW winds. High tide 11am, low tide 5am. More swell hitting this weekend – The gods favor us. What do two Bondi mofos; a stuntman and a fireman have […]

You don’t have to be a swell forecasting genius to work out there’s good waves today. I rate it. Not only is this south swell continuing to pump 3-4 footers into Bondi after declining overnight, we’ve got great light under perfectly clear skies and a forecast for all day offshores. The only deterrent I can […]

Struth. I reckon everywhere except Eastern Suburbs beaches are going off today. Northern beaches looks like fields of clover…north & south coast would be on fire. Bondi was large (6ft – 8ft) with one lone wolf out at 7am in the south end…small hungry pack on a sucky 3 foot left in the north end […]

In a cheap attempt to brighten up your day on this very grey morning – meet the Aquabumps Acid Hypercolor Edition. The whole two shots I took today from the car in the rain just didn’t cut the mustard. Put on the 3-d glasses and stare at the screen – you might hear Black Sabbath […]

The clouds have momentarily parted this morning…yes that insistent rain has stopped. Nice clean surfaces amongst 2-3 footers down at Bondi. Swell is from the SE and a few fun lefts on offer. High tide 6pm, 11:309am low tide, water 19 degrees with a max land temp of 18. SW winds now, SE later. Swell […]

There’s been a fat cloud sitting over Sydney for the past week dribbling on us. Surely its gotta run out of juice soon. On the bright side…the car has never looked so clean, ah huh & you seem to be able to park anywhere in Bondi and I don’t even have to queue of for […]

Hands up who’s not keen on this weather. We’re 6 days into winter and I’m over it already. Yesterday was off the scale cold for this time of year (twelve?). The rain continues today, as it has done for some days now, and will continue for another 3 days. Ugly morning down at Bondi with […]

Hi Chinas. Small waves today, but very clean. Say knee to waist high. At least the sun is out. I’d be calling a lay day as the imminent weekend’s south swell looks much more exciting. Tomorrow midday you’ll see a rapid increase in size up to 5 foot before Sunday’s boomer 6 – 8 foot […]

Smaller and a bit on the manky side. Sets mainly closing out (standard) 2-3 foot. Early SW winds with 19 degree max. Pretty much the same as the past few days. You can surf, but you won’t be bragging to your mates about it. High tide 12:15pm, low tide 5:30pm, water 20 degrees. What’s more […]
