Bondi has tiny surf but big ticks in every other department…no wind, warm water, sunshine. 28 degrees today, that’s a beach day. Brand new NE swell inbound and should arrive tonight folks. Have a great Easter, we’re are closed tomorrow on Good Friday, but open Easter Saturday, Sunday and Monday! Hard working mob aren’t we? […]

There is a little wave on, it’s only 2-3 foot…but very junkie and tide affected (fat). It was a 6:30 am high tide so I imagine it will improve at the tide draws out. The water is still very warm whilst the autumn air temps are slipping down. The Aquabumps Gallery Bondi is closed on […]

The ladies of Bondi were out in force this morning dominating the peak. It’s always a fun (noisier) vibe when the girls are out. They do love their team waves! Good sharers. A band spanking new south swell has arrived in town, and Bondi loves it. I was surprised to see set waves in the […]

We’ve got a full-blown Nor-east swell in Sydney so you’ll barely see anything show up at South facing Bondi Beach. Bondi fancies a south swell. Around the corner, at Tamarama, there were some fat lumps that broke earlier today, but Tama hates the high tide – and it’s really a mal wave when it’s full. […]

Another crazy onshore unsurfable day at Bondi Beach. Swell has picked up but it’s been blown to bits. Warning: this email’s content may make you want to jump on a plane tonight and travel. Over’n’out :: uge

Today’s storm was giving me a bit of a hard time on my morning dawdle. The rain was intermittent, winds were howling onshore 20-30 knots. The beach was pretty empty – the surf was terrible. It will be like this for a couple of days so hang in there and be productive. If there is […]

You have to admit, we’ve had an excellent run of weather and waves around Bondi lately. Be thankful. This week is a little different, and it all begins with today. The south wind is here. Onshore. Half’a foot. Super windy. Winds will pick up tonight and blow a gale overnight. This wind will hang around […]

When it’s hot Bondi turns into a wacky place. People just seem to get a little too excited. Yesterday the beach was rammed as it baked into the night. When the sun sets the pubs fill and the party starts. As an early riser, I see the aftermath the next day. The ones that pushed […]

It’s much cooler, greyer and onshore this morning. That’s cool. It was a hot one yesterday. There are still fun waves on offer, head high, bumpy and random – but you will find some treasure. Well done Julian Wilson and Lakey Peterson who won at Goldie in some pretty spectacular conditions yesterday. I bet your […]

Geez, the waves turned on yesterday. It’s slowed right down today, but it’s still surfable. Beautiful sun filled morning with the enormous crew out for the early. Boogies, Mals, hungry short boarders – and yep, our resident foil boarder were all out – ready to send you to hospital. 4 per wave, leggies tangled…the full […]

It’s very rare for Bondi to have decent sized waves that are not closing out. Normally anything over head high dumps with limited options. Overnight we got a major swell increase and there are waves in the 3-5 foot range. I feel like it’s slowed down a lot at 11:30 am from what I saw […]

Incredibly dark morning…didn’t think it was even shootable until 7:30 am. The ISO was fully cranked. It’s onshore, 3 foot and surfable (and empty). Swell will kick up later today, but the onshores will continue. Watch the Quiky Pro Day 3 instead. :: uge

It was a massive weekend in Bondi for waves, sun, crowds, antics and activations.  Waves – all weekend we had super fun waves, but the swell has gone baby gone now. Sun – yesterday was a cracker beach day, hope you got some. Felt like peak summer heat. Crowds/Antics – my gosh, Bondi was a […]

It was a dark morning as we head into Autumn late rises. The cloud filled horizon didn’t help. A slither, a gap, a hole in the sky created around 15 minutes of fruitful image capture down at Bondi Beach. There are waves this morning. Well, it’ ain’t Teahupoo, but you can surf a wave waist […]

Lagoons form around islands like Moorea as the volcanic landmass subsides into the ocean (over millions of years), leaving a coral outer ring – hence creating beautiful lagoons. It’s a slow but very fruitful process. The lagoons are full of marine life and sheltered from the pumping swells on the outer reefs. Moorea gets a […]

Maeva to Moorea. This mind-blowing aquatic paradise is a short 30-minute ferry ride from the Tahitian capital of Papeete. The colours are crazy. You’d really like it here. The water is warm, clear, and ultra inviting. The vibe extremely mellow. The scenery is truly amazing with huge volcanic peaks towering over the beaches. It’s only […]

When you mention the word ‘Teahupoo’ it puts fear into the minds of every surfer. It is the heaviest wave in the world full stop. You’ve all seen the photos of death slabs draining off the shallow reef. It’s your worst nightmare or a heavenly utopia to a rare few. The name ‘Teahupo’o’ loosely translates to […]
