We’ve filled our annual wave quota in just ten days… time to pack up and head back to the mainland. As far as surf trips go, you couldn’t script better conditions — 4-6 foot more often than not, the odd 2-3 foot lull, and a solid 8-foot finale. Sunshine was abundant, and we scored endless stretches of breathless, glassy winds. After two dud years, this one was a cracker — easily one of the most memorable from 21+ trips.
A lot of people ask if they can surf here. In short — it’s all reef, and sharp at that. During Aussie winter, it can get big. Shoulder seasons are better suited to cruisier shredders, but June, July, and August are reserved for the hungry barrel lords. Like the rest of Indo, the Ments are changing fast…
Regular Aquabumps programming returns this week. I’ve heard whispers that the epic bank at South Bondi is still intact — maybe even a little refined. Not looking forward to swapping 28-degree water for a 3mm steamer, but hey, that’s home.
See you down the beach,
