The rogue wonder swell of yesterday has backed right off and it’s now quite manageable at most beaches (3 ft). I didn’t really see anything special to surf this morning – a lot of empty lineups though. Good day to snag a few for yourself. A lot of readers email us questions about camera gear […]

Well well well. A big swell has rocked up into town and its gone rogue. I was expecting decent sized waves, but not this big. I saw sets above 8 foot. So much water moving. So hard to find a decent one. So much wash through. Somewhere would be firing today. Sydneysiders love a good […]

We’ve got a fresh batch of dead south swell in town and it’s quite exciting. We haven’t seen size like this for a while now. I am really hoping it bashes those straight banks at Bondi into something fun. C’mon. Please. The swell will peak, hard, right now and then drop off into the afternoon. […]

Today is typical Autumn Bondi day. It all started with the Buddhist monks pounding the pavement (std). Then the sunshine came over Ben Buckler and illuminated some 2 foot leftovers. (How good was the weekend for surf?) The Tourists were up early…documenting everything with their phones and selfie sticks. Icebergs was full. Not a car […]

We’re bang in the middle of a solar marathon (and swell drought). I hope you’re enjoying it (the sun bit that is – not the 1 footers). Sunday could even pass as a normal beach day (24). The swell forecast is meant to scoop up from 1 foot to 4 foot. I am a little […]

We are pretty lucky around here. Got some damn nice clean beaches to wake up to. Take your pick, they’re all pretty decent and a short walk between. When the weather’s good everyone is up early enjoying the crisp mornings. Today was a little chillier than other days. Winter is just ’round the corner. Have […]

I was so happy to see a little trickle of swell this morning. It’s a sign of things to come. Bondi had waist to the odd chest high waves. It wasn’t pumping but it was fun. The sunrise this morning was quite monochrome. Once again it’s offshore, typical of Autumn. Next week I am making […]

We’re getting very spoilt with the current weather conditions. I haven’t seen an onshore day in aaaaages. It will swing though…any day now. Today, offshore, tiny south swell with rideable crowded waves at Bondi. Go outside ’cause it’s 26 degrees. It’s amazing! :: uge

This morning I saw a Buddhist Monk running along the broad walk in the latest pair of Ray Bans. So Bondi. Robe wafting in the breeze as he motored past. He was quite the Usain Bolt…as I didn’t get a chance to take a decent photo of him. He left me in his wake! This […]

Bondi is a popular joint. Not many suburbs have their own TV shows (note: several TV shows). Wherever I travel these days they know Bondi. They might not know it’s in Sydney. But they know Bondi. For 900 meters of sandy beach with sloppy close outs – it’s out there! I’d like to say people […]

I thought we would have some waves today. The internet told me so. It lied. Well, when I was down there at sunrise…it was tiny (and crowded). The amazing sunrise made up for it. How good was it? Didn’t look real. I am writing this at 10:39am. Surely that south swell has filled in now. […]

After a chilly start to the morning the sun is now doing some good work warming us all up. Water is still amazingly warm. Was 12 degrees at sunrise on the beach! I rolled down the beach will little expectations of surf. Forecast was 1-2 foot NE swell – which is pretty much useless at […]

As predicted… yesterdays grey skies parted and we continue with a sunshine marathon. Change always brings coloured skies – did you see that sunset last night – mental! Waves are limping in. Tiny NE swell barely providing any substantial push for surf vehicles. I opted for a swim with my trusty 50mm. Ah yes, 10 […]

Aquabumps HQ is an old mechanics workshop in Bondi Beach. The old tin roof sounds like a machine gun when she’s raining a lot. It’s gonna rain all day I hear – but clear up for tomorrow. The rest of the week is going to be fantastic. So…on this rainy Monday, crank the work out […]

5th nice morning in a row, especially at the beach. Even better when the sky is full of colour. Hope you got down there. Small swell, mostly from the south. Bit of fun to be had. Over the weekend the swell will switch back to a ENE direction. Maroubra Big Wave freak Mark Mathews returned […]

Repeat of yesterday – just more swell. Looks like south swell to me. Aren’t we lucky? The left had a few…sets head high if you wait long enough. Good little pulse. What a day! :: uge

Whole lotta Bondi goodness going on this morning. Super clean morning, crisp clear air, no waves and no wind. If I could package this morning up for you…we’d sell out. It’s classic Bondi. You’re not too late to get your Mother some Aquabumps artwork for this Sunday (Mother’s Day). We have plenty of stock in […]

How about them clear skies huh? Again…cool early, then when the sun starts to pump – it’s joy! There was a bump in swell today. A left in the corner provided maximum enjoyment…for a short window. Looked pretty small when I last looked (1-2 ft). I have absolutely nothing else to report today – oh […]

What started off a tad chilly has now bloomed into a magical day. Not bad aye? It’s lunchtime. Go lay on the grass and soak it up. Waves – tiny. (but a bump coming later tonight) Wind – nup. Sun – heaps. Hair – yeah looks good! Today’s Aquabumps was shot with a new camera…the […]
