Whale 31st July 2008
Waves are pretty good this morning. Damn cold morning though, so the run across the sand to the water’s edge was torturous.
South Bondi had 3-4 footers – some of which were quite hollow. But its fickle with a super strong rip. (beware beginners – you’ll end up in Africa)
Looks like a perfect all-day-offshore…so you really should think about taking off and surfing…but somewhere with decent banks (not Bondi). The charts are showing a swell increase tomorrow so we’re in for a few good days of surfing. Great weekend to get out of town.
Chasing the Whale
The talk of the morning was a huge whale parked in the break at Tamarama (7:05am) amongst surfers. Well it’s just rocked up into Bondi at lunchtime frolicking with the surfers. It’s unbelievable how close to shore it is. 3 choppers circling…camera crews everywhere…just another day of excitement in the big bay.

My wakanaka is in Bondi right now and i shuld have listened to her advice. We could have been having a yogi tchai together by the beach witnessing these amazing scenes, what can i say????
Nature doing what it does best, thnks to those who captured the scenes (wonderful) and hope more whales on the way. To wakanaka…… hang on, will be there shortly for a bit of whale watching.
GREAT!!!!!!!
