Black is back baby. Under a blanket of morning cloud we’ve got surfable but messy waves down at Bondi. Yesterday’s cooling weak south change brought some new wind swell, but the early direct onshore easterlies weren’t let much quality come through. You’d score waves up to head height with the majority smaller. Ok is more like wind chop on steroids, but the odd one threw a lip or had a beltable pocket. Water cool 19, Wind from ENE, on 21 today (27 tomoz), high tide 10am, low 4:30pm.
