Luminous
The sun broke through the thick Ben Buckler cloud as the waves continue to break. Nice morning. It’s 2 foot, occasionally 3 foot if you’re lucky. Large crowd out enjoying the decent conditions. Swell is south and winds from the North. A mild day, 20 degrees. Enjoy it. :: uge
Backwash Riot
Top morning. One of those special ones where the air and water were sooooooo warm, you just can’t get out. If you came down, you would know what I mean. Waves. yes! Plenty of swell but Bondi was mainly closing out. Sets were head high. The backwash was full-on, water surging up onto a shallow sand […]
Morning Swim
Looks like our left is starting to morph into a right. The northerlies have blown all the sand up closer to Icebergs making it close out – especially with this morning’s low tide. Swells got a bit of East to it now. That’s not good for Bondi. Shoulder high waves today. Bigger tomorrow – a […]
Gridlock
I think you all know what I am going to write about today seeing most of you have been out there. All 40,000 of you. The surf is good full stop. We’ve got some decent waves breaking on our holy grail of banks. It’s around 3-4 foot, consistent and fun but the crowds are enormous. […]
Ice Ice Bondi
Yep, you can now ice skate right on the sand of Bondi beach. The rink is up and running for the next 2 weeks as a part of the Bondi Winter Festival. A nice little morning with fun 2-3 footers in the corner. The wind has gone offshore and a corner rip was puttin’ some […]
Swaddled
Last weekend was a great one for surfers. Solid swell on both days – if only it could be that good all the time. As predicted the swell has backed off this morning, but there are still super fun 3 footers. I don’t think it will hang around for long…dwindling fast. Tomorrow will be small […]
hello
Sorry about the late update…time snuck away. Well finally the weather has cleared, the onshores subsided and a neat SSE swell is pumping into the bay. It’s only 2-3 foot…much smaller than previous days, but super fun. The morning sun was out, blaring, soaking everything in tones of orange. The water was exceptional – has […]
fickle
It’s pretty fickle out there. On/off. Wet/sunny. Cold/hot. Not really sure what to make of it. At 7am the surf looked average with some crumbly 2-3 foots hittin’ Bondi. Around 9am it looked a lot cleaner and lining up better. About 10 x better. Who knows what it will look like by lunchtime when the […]
D E C L I N E
After a week’s supply of solid south swell it’s dropped back into 2 footers. It looks like it’s going to be small all week long, especially Thursday/Friday where is could be dead flat. Enjoy the sunshine and chilly mornings – freezing this morning. It’s about the only surfable day left in this week so I’d […]

I am not all that happy about the drop in morning temperatures but you know what winter brings – finely tuned south swells. Bondi loves the dead south (that would be 180 degrees for those with their protractors out). Nice little bump in swell earlier this morning, 2-3 foot and offshore winds. Large crowds out […]
Spike
Those swell charts were right. Spike in swell as the wave period hits a whoppin’ 18 seconds – pity its only @ 2-3 foot. A solo bank in the south end put one some fun waves – albeit inconsistent due to such a long period. Crowds were large and hungry this morning. Keep your wits […]
swim
After yesterday’s leap in swell size from 1 foot to 3 foot I’d thought there would be some decent waves this morning. Unfortunately its disappeared as fast as it appeared. The swell origin is dead south, so Bronte, The Bra etc would be watching it march on by to south facing beaches. Bondi was 2 […]
