Pre-blow
It might be cold out, but it’s very warm in. You should get wet. The swell has come to the party, and we now have waves around head high. Winds are SW, that’s offshore – which is great. But I reckon by the time you read this email it will swing around to the SSE […]
Modulation
After a sensational week of weather (and some waves) things have changed. Bondi put on some grovelly 2 footers. Winds were ideal from the Sou-West, soon to be East. Huge crowd out early. Nothing special, don’t worry, you’re not missing out. Small waves tomorrow and really small waves for Mother’s Day Sunday. Spend all day […]
Saline
Brrr, what a cold morning. My phone said it was 11 degrees before the sun rose, but the wind chill was much, much less. My guess, 8 degrees. At precisely 4:30 pm last night the swell leapt from flat to 3 foot. Today it’s smaller, mainly concealed by a 6:31 am high tide. Our little sand bank […]
Pleasure
Beautiful, damn fine, salubrious morning down at Bondi Beach today. The type of morning that’s it’s such a pleasure to do my job – swim. There are remnants of the weekend’s swell, clear blue water, clear skies and a positive vibe. New big swell arriving Wednesday/Thursday this week. We are getting a swell once a […]
Window
Ah heck. At sunrise, Bondi was looking mighty fine in the wave department. I am talking proper…proper. When I saw the winds kicking offshore overnight (SW), and all that new (SE) swell, I knew it was going to be on for the early. I have no idea why I booked a 7:30 am meeting! Nuts! […]
Moon Swell
Aroooooo! We had a big bright moon last night and loads of people came to Bondi to witness it. To me, it kinda looked the same as it always does, even being 50,000 clicks closer to Bondi. OK, it was just a little brighter and you could see more detail on the surface. The good […]
Giddy Up
Looking for some fun, peaky, 2 footers? Say no more. This morning was for you! Swell came up you’d arvo and put on some pleasant (not pumping) surf conditions. Swell is SSE and winds are WSW – good combo. Unfortunately, the swell is on the decline – but you’ll be at your Melbourne Cup lunches […]
Doppelganger
Looks just like yesterday dunnit? Same-same, but perhaps it went to greys faster than it’s Monday twin. Good looking sunrise. It’s amazing how the sunrises morph through different stages. First, subtle pinks, then intense fluoro reds, then grey… The waves were small yet enjoyable. A small peak towards the middle seemed to be providing the […]
Serve Chilled
After a chilly start to the morning the sun is now doing some good work warming us all up. Water is still amazingly warm. Was 12 degrees at sunrise on the beach! I rolled down the beach will little expectations of surf. Forecast was 1-2 foot NE swell – which is pretty much useless at […]
Yo
Hey. Hows ya morning? How many coffees you had? Did you get down the beach before the smotherly struck? All 20 knots of it? Hope so. She’s on the blower now…but it was a pleasant morning before that. Tiny waves. That’s cool. This wind should kick up a 4 footers tomorrow. Please Huey. Please. Even […]
Solar
G’day. Nice morning. Didn’t last long as the onshores came in early (9am). We’ve got pleasant 1-3 footers of ENE swell that will continue grow for the next coupla. Go sample the current bath-like conditions out there. It’s a treat. :: oogie.
Spike
The swell has piped up and there’s some fresh chunks to ride. Fun ones from the SE. Seeing there was 10,000 people on the beach at sunrise the water was relatively empty. The cold water must have scared a few or they’re off seeking better waves down the coast. The wind is SSE and 11 […]
Surfable
Yo. It’s surfable today. 2-3 foot. Fat with the morning high tide then slapping on the beach. The southern corner had a shorey with attitude. Nothing like a spin cycle before work! Oh hang on, that’s work. Not much wind around this morning but it still looked agitated. The arvo NE wind will bring back […]
