Bondi 7am – beginners dayReckon the old hair-do has bigger waves dis morning. Bondi was struggling to produce the goods with only knee-high beginner specials on offer in the middle. Need to surf more east exposed beaches to capture the most of this tricklin’ swell – where I’d expect waist high waves. Clean glassy conditions […]

Bondi 7am – clean, small, bit lackin’ but surfable mutesClean small waist high numbers rolling into the bay lackin’ grunt. 09:24am high tide promoting fullness on the odd left hander in the southern end. You’re probably wondering how it is that today’s first shot is of Mick, Bondi’s power munga, bustin’ out a dirty front […]

The Bra 7am – very tasty, clean, head highTo compare today to ice-cream, it would be cookie cream commotion for sure. Ain’t no vanilla….Sensational clear skies, gentle NW offshores and quite a bit of east in this nicely formed swell. You can still get away with a springy or boardies with 22 degree water temps…and […]

Bondi 7am – shoulder high, clean with offshoresFew clean shoulder high chunks arriving at Bondi this morning. An early offshore breeze provided a chance for the ocean to settle, but the 5:53am high tide promoted chubbiness and some disruptive backwash. Beach was empty…winds will come up from the south east later deteriorating the surfable conditions […]

Bondi 7:45am – ugly grey morning, messy waist highHiya. Peeping through the curtain at 6am this morning wasn’t doing it for me…dark grey overcast skies, rain, and onshore winds mincing up waist to shoulder high waves. Good morning to catch up on a few extra zz’s. Bondi has a small optimistic mob out…gettin’ the odd […]

Bondi 7am – pretty average. Weak wind swell closing out Splish splashin’ around the south end in search of something semi-decent…not much on offer with a locally generated east wind swell fondling our coastline…sets up around shoulder high, mostly shuttin’ down on a relatively shallow bank. Quite a few crew out enjoying our late summer […]

Bondi 7am – weak small waves… Hate to say it…but it was pretty lame this morning. Waves were breaking mostly around waist high down at Bondi…couple larger sets but nothin’ that would make you froth. Good day for beginners as it’s soft as… Overcast skies have broken our classic summer run as we head to […]

Hola Ninos, what a spectacular day! You’ve gotta love this time of year, water is still warm (22), clear skies, and Bondi switches into winter mode…tourism dies down, mornings are relatively chilled…yes, you might even start to find the odd car park. The waves were super clean with early NW offshore breezes. Smaller than yesterday… […]

Bondi 7am – head high sets, is okaah.Overnight increase in size has generated some fluffy head high chunks this morning down at Bondi. Looked quite fatty-boom-ba, but reasonably fun with a few on the left hand bank in the south and the occasional less frequent right peeling off the Icebergs bank. Morning crew enjoying the […]

Bondi 7am – nice morning, clean waves chest high inconsistentFun little waves around this morning. 7:50am high tide was getting the better of it creating fatness. Left in the south end was working on sets – fair bit of waiting around though…glorious morning, surprisingly after a massive down pour last night. Maximum of 24 degrees […]

Waves were lookin’ tidy dis morning, which is why I passed the camera over to renowned Sydney photographer Martin Mischkulnig to capture his point of view on our early morning Bondi activities. Here is what he came up with…Kombi is gold. Waves …yep, we’ve got a few hitting our chunk of the coast. Clean head […]

Its morning, I’d expected the same junkyard as the past couple of days under these grey skies. The south swell continues to pump into our shores; however an overnight offshore breeze has dressed up our head high sets into clean cut lines worthy of sliding. It looked inviting around 7am (or earlier) with a fullish […]

Bondi 7am – meaty onshore mushy chunksHow good was the weather on the weekend? Psycho Sydney switched into south storm mode this week with onshore SE winds and a meaty south swell. Most waves were wind affected this morning, creating uninviting conditions. You’d surf something around head high today on a south facing beach like […]
