Well, we are in for some heat today. All 38 degrees of it. That’s some big digits for the last week of Summer. It will be the hottest day for this time of year in 12 years. Y’know what? I say tools down. Hit the beach. Put the outta-office on. You deserve it. I’m sure […]
Surfing
Welcome to the 100% surfing edition of Aquabumps. All 8 pictures are of stickered up sponos ripping. No pretty sunrises, no portraits…just surfing. I like surfing. I’m gonna snag a couple now so I will be brief. Today has turned out to be gloriously sunny, winds are offshore and light, swell is 3-4 foot and […]

With all this East swell it made sense to go for a drive and have a look around. Bondi neglects the current swell direction and it was tiny. It’s dropped quite a lot overnight. I found waves only in the 2 foot range at exposed beaches. Nothing fantastic. Really warm, comfortable conditions early – which […]

Good morning. If you are under 20 years old and take your surfing seriously you’d be at Maroubra this morning for the kick-off of the Carve Pro Junior and Ocean and Earth Teenage Rampage. It will run until Sunday and thankfully today they’ve scored a bit of swell (3ft). Dozens of hyperactive, 30 kg groms […]
Hereward
Finally after a long spell of very small waves we have something to ride! Yes, waves. Bondi is 3 foot, Maroubra was a bit cleaner and I saw some bigger sets. Interesting stuff: The Bondi Board Riders won the teams event and 2nd in the overall for the Australian Board Riders Battle on the weekend. […]
Bingo
Boom…we have waves! After quite a few ordinary surf days this morning shaped up kinda well. The swell kicked and the winds were temporarily offshore. Bondi was 3-4 foot but looked kinda burgerish. Maroubra was smaller but had better shape. Lots of people out for the early…I know the surf is good when I can’t […]
Thunder
Did you know that “Maroubra” is the Aboriginal word for place of thunder? Plenty of thunder down there yesterday. It was pumping. The leftovers weren’t too bad today, head high and super clean before the storm hit. Unfortunately if you are reading this update and haven’t already surfed – you missed it. Shows over. This […]

Goedemorgen! OK, it’s actually ‘afternoon as Aquabumps headquarters has been a little busy. The swell has slipped a few gears and Maroubra had a small shorey worth slaying. Not much else seemed up to scratch. The wind is hooooowwling, 30 knots of W/SW and it’s a nice day outside. Might be a wave at Bondi […]
