Bondi 7am – head high, occasionally bigger sets, offshore winds
Few waves to be found this morning at south facing magnets. Bondi had a few sets over head high. Inconsistent banks degraded decent peaks into fatness. A right in the southern corner was partially working,not much more than a take off and one turn wonder in most cases. It was breaking pretty far out – then dissolving slightly into a deep spot – good for a muck about. The sunshine continues, as we work up to a 21 degree maximum and a high tide of 10:14am. The Low tide of 3:54am might improve things.

Winds will be moderate south westerlies, tending north east this afternoon. Fine weather for most of the week, whilst the swell should hang in there producing waves around shoulder high for most of this week at Bondi.

Today is a momentous occasion… I’ve finally upgraded the old camera (Canon 10D) to a Canon 1D MkII. The new beast is a serious weapon – fastest digi SLR they say with 8.5 frames per second in 40 frame bursts. 45 point auto focus rocks as well…she don’t come cheap though…about double the cost of a 20D (plus a bit). Now I’ve just got to work out how to work the thing…
