Calm
You can see it in the clouds that something’s coming… the calm before the storm… All quiet down the beach this morning. Waves were small, 1 foot with a freak 2 footer every 20 minutes worth riding. Plenty of sunshine – soak it up as tomorrow looks wet and hell windy. The swell will pick […]

Late one I know…oops. Got a lil’ distracted. The day started out with clouds and glassy 1 footers. Now it’s glassy 1 footers and sunny. (top of 26 degrees) Tomorrow sunny, warm. (top of 26 degrees) Wed sunny warm…(top of 26 degrees) Thursday, sunny and warm…(top of 25 degrees) And then… A sunny and warm […]
Radiance
Spectacular sunrise this morning with burning hues splashed all over the skies. The surf is less than spectacular as the swell drought continues…we’re in Feb and I don’t think we’ve had a crankin’ swell for 2009 yet! Feb brings hope, we always seem to get one booming swell in Feb…let’s hope it’s this weekend as […]
Windswell blues
This ENE windswell has knocked up some 3 footers at exposed beaches (e.g. The Bra). Its a windswell, very weak and flat – not ideal. Bondi was much smaller, 1-2 foot being hidden from this swell direction. The 9:26am high tide wasn’t helping things…fatness everywhere. The current NE winds will blow hard 25 knots later […]
chop hop
Bit of a non-event down the beach this morning (wave-wise). 1 foot chop broke close to shore, yep, there were still a few people out scrappin’ for the-chop-of the-day. Interesting cloud formations at sunrise before a thick blanket of south change brought rain, wind and cooler temperatures. South winds will howl 20/30 knots later today […]
change
After spending a week with 20 friends on a secluded 1 acre island, returning to 31 degrees and a crowd of 30,000 on Bondi was quite a bit to get your head around. What happened? This hot weather is nuts – and 30 degrees again today followed by a wintery 20 tomorrow. So make the […]
change
The waves today are about as bad as waves get. Onshore, 1 foot and overcast. I didn’t see anything that vaguely resembled a rideable wave. Didn’t really have much to work with this morning, so I threw in some old gold to distract you from this morning’s onshore mush. The early morning south easterly winds […]
daybreak
I am well aware that you probably don’t get as excited as I do about glowing sunrises. See…we haven’t had a decent one since 6th December 2006 (to be exact). I know…I am there pretty much every day. From 5:50am I tracked this baked pink cloud and it only lasted for 3-4 minutes before transforming […]
