Two Thousand and Twelve

Being one of the last Aquabumps updates for 2012 I thought I’d showcase some images I like looking at (and taken this year). It’s been a fun a year. Lots of travel in the first half, no travel in the second half and plenty of Bondi updates. There is now 45,000 people that subscribe to […]

Swelter

Today is a very strange day weatherwise. It’s gonna roll out like this: She’s gonna get hot. Hottest day in 1 year. 35 degrees – wow. Winds will be NW – a hot wind. Waves are shoulder high at East facing beaches like Maroubra. Bondi is knee to waist high. After lunchtime a gusty cool […]

10 minutes

This morning I went swimming with my camera but had a little short circuit in my housing…so for 10 minutes it continuously shot frames @ 10 frames per second. That’s a lot of throw aways. These 9 images where the keepers from 6,000 images shot in that short space of time. Not much to surf […]

Boooondhi

Hola. Grey start to the morning with little floppy 1- 2 footers. You can surf it, if you’re keen…but a swim is ideal. The clouds have now parted for a 26 degree day. For those on holidays already…enjoy. E/NE winds all day – good up at north corner. Christmas is in the air and only […]

Over the fence

The southerly was up early and spoiling most breaks around the Eastern Suburbs. A short trip over the bridge to Manly proved successful in stalking something rideable…and around head high on sets. Nice over there. Plenty of space and car parks! Later this week, (like Thursday) I reckon will have some really fun waves. You’re […]

Porkys

Today the tide was in early and porking up anything moving out there. Knee to chest high waves were fat as… Nice day, 27 degrees and a typical summer north wind pattern. Hit the beach. The Pipeline Masters is on hold today, but the swell and tension is building. This is a big one. Parko […]

Flip

The swell direction has flipped and so has the weather. Sunny with shoulder to head high waves coming in from the East. Gonna hit 26 banging degrees today – so good. NE winds will howl later 25 knots…good for protected North Bondi (for a swim). Christmas shoppers are in full swing…come to our gallery 10-6 […]

Pulse

FINALLY we’ve got some waves worth writing about. Similar to Hawaii it’s only knee to waist high waves but surfable. Hope you got down there early before this no-good easterly wind picks up. 25 degrees with a possible shower. Swell will vanish tonight and Friday/Saturday is shall return. Pipeline Masters probably off until Friday/Saturday. If […]

Today is another gloomy day down the beach. The wind is still howling and the ocean is a mess. Enough said. All you need to know about today is that the wind will start to drop tonight. Yesterday was an exciting day at the Pipeline Masters in Hawaii. It’s down to Parko and Slater for […]

Sleep in…

Feels like we’ve been transported back to the wintery blues after a few steamy summery days. That south change hit yesterday around 10am and has hung around. So windy. Forget surfing. Its dire down there with that wicked combo of onshore and small conditions. Wait until the blow subsides. Whilst you’re bunkering down indoors…the PIPELINE […]

Patchy

That swell came and is now going. Today we have left over waist high to the odd head high wave. Bondi wasn’t coping with a lower tide this morning and predominantly closing out. Kinda patchy clouds, not sure whether it’s going to be a nice day or not. Only 24. One thing is for sure, […]

Straighty180

Just like we talked about yesterday a new swell has arrived…LIKE! It’s 4-5 foot and breaking pretty straight at Bondi. I’m not complaining as this is the biggest it’s been in weeks. I would go find another beach with sand banks or a chunk of reef though. Bondi just ain’t cutting it. I hope you […]

Incoming

It was good to see a little bump in swell this morning. Finally the small wave days have come to an end. (for a little while) It was waist to chest high this morning down at Bondi. The swell is from the south, so we’d be seeing the best of it here in Bondi. It […]

Water People

I had a really good time shooting these ten photos down at Bondi Beach this morning. I hope it shows. The water was immaculate, warm and clear. The sun was out baking without a cloud of hindrance in the sky. Wind – there was none. Waves – none of those either. Well I guess I […]

Plain Rain

It’s raining this morning. Not pretty down the beach. There’s a little dribbly wave for the very enthusiastic types. I’d pass. I even passed on shooting pics from behind the windscreen wipers. Here’s a few images that I’ve been working on and haven’t made it onto the site yet. Have a great Monday. :: uge
