Bondi 7am – smaller than yesterday – fun
Amongst a restless large morning crowd the south swell machine produced waves up around the chest high mark this morning down at Bondi. Some serious singeing dropins going down – think I might start up a ding repair business – loose boards everywhere. I’d suggest surfing the middle bank if you’re just starting out as the solo southern peak was overcrowded and chaotic (normally there are more options). Wind was light WSW which will swing into a seabreeze later on. The 7:30am high tide was creating fatness whilst I’d expect the 2pm low tide to create straight-handers. Somewhere in the middle may suit a few fun ones. Nice day, 26 degrees max, so lap it up before we head into winter. Forecast – hmmn…looks like southern chunks headed our way.

One of the benefits of running Aquabumps is that I get to meet some interesting people who have the same passion as I – the ocean. There’s some real characters down the beaches in the morning, you’d be surprised who pops up. Some scruffy groveling man grommets have an interesting story. I caught up with old skool, frothn’ fashion designer Damion Fuller for a chat. Read his story |
