The waves are tiny today — classic ankle biters. But the sun? She’s on full blast. A glorious winter’s morning, even if it kicked off chilly at 8.2°C at 3:30am. Yeah yeah, we hear you Victorians and Tassie crew laughing at us… but hey, that’s cold for Bondi.
The ocean’s still holding a balmy 18.8°C (65.8°F) — not bad at all, actually nicer in than out.
With the shortest day of the year nearly upon us, the sun’s taking its sweet time getting up. There’s a lot of standing around, coffee in hand, waiting for those rays to creep over the hill. But when they do, the beach fills fast — everyone chasing that winter vitamin D hit.
On the topic of good vibes — Matt Griggs, former pro surfer and now mental performance coach to the stars, is running one of his legendary Crescent Head retreats from Thursday 30 Oct – Monday 3 Nov 2025.
