El Cracker
After the past two summers we’ve recently had, we deserve these GLORIOUS summery days. It’s so lovely outside you’re mad if you don’t go outdoors – even just for a fiver and a sit on the grass to soak it all in.
A cracker.
SE winds are declining into the arvo – a bit choppy right now. Small peaks at Bondi – suitable for high-volume loggers. Immaculate skies and clean air.
The swell will peak tomorrow morning, it will be clean too. Wax up.
A reminder…couple of important messages:
- At Aquabumps, spending $250 on anything and score a book worth $150 is still on. If you don’t take us up on this ridiculously great deal, you’re mental.Â
- Overseas framed orders from our gallery in time for Chrissie? Yep, you have until Thursday. So if you’re reading my ramble in London – there is still time, but Thursday is your cutoff
- go for a swim – it’s mandatory

Flipside
The sun, waves, light and delightful beach conditions have turned off. Super quiet down there today – not a beach day. The southerly was in early and waves 1/10. Here are some Bondi moments of this month – always something happening around here. I guess that is what makes it interesting to shoot for over […]

Black/Friday
Bondi was a restless hive of mega activity this morning. The north end especially! The entire bay has the Salties spread out – like an enormous school of fish – all you can see are arms and legs firing across the entire 900 metres of Bondi. Quite a sight. The surf is still hanging in […]

Solid Increase
Sorry about the delayed update; sadly, it’s not because I’ve been surfing all morning. Great conditions – not good banks. It’s pretty solid out there at sunrise. Waves were breaking in the above head to double head high range – and plenty of supply. The winds look relatively light right now – similar to dawn. […]

off-shaw
That gusty offshore is still wreaking havoc in Sydney. Brisk, init? There’s still plenty of swell, but the banks are pretty odd and straight. Shame…as it has the makings of a cracker surf day. I saw sets overhead high, winds blowing SW 15-20 knots – sunshine 10 outa 10. It’s gonna hit 27 degrees – […]

30 knots, 9 degrees
It’s properly windy with gusts well above 30 knots. Overnight the temperatures plummeted, and it was only 9 degrees when I rolled down for the morning rituals. Bit odd for this time of year. Fortunately, the winds will calm right down by nightfall. The swell is SW – that means it’s hooking up the coast […]

Blustery
Great weather at the moment, never mind the howling winds. Even though we are getting gusts of up to 30 knots this morning, you will still be able to find the odd corner to hide from for the gale. 24 degrees max today, cooler than yesterday. Waves are slightly smaller, limping into the bay around […]

Pool Party
South swell is up, and there’s sets that are double-head high. Unfortunately, it’s flanked by a solid southerly around 15 knots. Protected southerly corners are the GO! I see sunshine dominating the forecast for days and days now, how good is that? Sunday is going to be particularly warm with 27 degrees. The large swell […]

Unsettled
The swell has come right up, and waves are breaking in the 4-6 plus vicinity. It’s very unsettled, random and raw…I only saw a kneelo at Coogee catch a wave all morning – and I checked most beaches. Wait for it to settle; it will be fruitful. Patience. In the meantime, watch the new season […]

Pulsification
Ah, nice; nothing better than waking up to a nice little South swell pulse. There are head-high waves this morning under cooling SSW breezes (16 knots). It was junkie but pretty uncrowded and consistent. It’s much colder today, 11 degrees, when I woke. We’re only a few days off summer, so this will be the […]

Morning Calm
That sneaking NE swell pulse from yesterday has faded, and we return to 1-2ft, grovellers (with the odd random set around chest high). The winds are WSW offshore, exposing the blues in our oceans whilst making inviting conditions for a swim. A very sunny morning with showers arriving later, around dinner time. Crypto is crashing, […]

Bondi Contrasts
Everyone thinks Bondi is a small city beach with massive crowds every day. It’s not. Lately, it has been hectic with decent weather, no covid lockdowns and multiple events…but it’s not always like that. So take this morning – the beach was empty under stormy skies. Such contrasts! The swell has dropped but would be […]

Free Pineapples
The weather gods have been good to us! What a cracker morning to be in Sydney. Solar is up, small waves from the East and gentle grooming offshores make it a beach day. Our beaches were packed, early – being warm and a Friday. Max 22 degrees. FREE PINEAPPLES Like $50s? Today we kick off our […]
