Surfable
It’s surfable but definitely not pumping. It could get better as this brand new NE swell builds during the day. The wind, however, is going to howl 25-30 knots at 5pm today. Hide the Sulo bins, strap on the bbq cover – she’s gonna blow! Finally, after the recent swell drought, I have some nourishing […]
Active
Today is the last day of spring and the beach was fully loaded this morning. I mean, what beach in the world has traffic jams at 5:45am? Seriously! In Paris, you don’t see humans until at least 8:30am. In Italy, they think you’re still out from the night before if you see the sunrise. At […]
Straighties…
The swell went from flat to thumping over the weekend. It’s still here…and thriving. South facing Bondi was up to her old tricks, breaking straight…closing out. It’s dropping off tonight, so we will return to smaller waves in the morning. I trust you’re enjoying the salubrious 27-degree day. Like yesterday, another big south swell is […]
Dawn Dip
You could feel the chill in the air this morning. It’s coming…colder times. The water remains warm though. Small swell from the SE 2-3 footers. Low tide this morning so the banks were protruding and closing out most waves at Bondi. Few little runners – I’d guess it would be better on the higher tides. […]
Cubicles
I’m guessing most of you are probably back at work today, staring at the cubicle wall, dreaming of your recent holidays. The mind is a little foggy but the tan is deluxe – you look great! So you probably don’t wanna hear this – but it’s a cracker beach day. The water was off-the-charts-warm. Like a […]
Polish
Have you noticed that Waverley Council has doubled it’s workforce around Bondi, frantically cleaning the joint for the arrival of 150,000 people on Sunday? Buffing kerbs with toothbrushes, removing graffiti, blowing every spec of sand off the promenade…yep…Bondi in it’s best duds from the City to Surf spotlight. Wait until you see it @ 2pm […]
Hotcakes
There’s waves today. Come get ’em before they fade away into this week. The sand banks around Bondi aren’t too flash but there is the odd 4 footer worth catching. The swell origin is dead south. Bondi loves that direction. Clean conditions with offshore winds – bonus. I don’t really have much else to write […]
Erratic
Quite unpredictable down the beach this morning. The show started with rain, rain and more rain. I sat in my car…fiddled with my phone…maybe even dosed off in the car park (a lot quieter than my home without little people screaming in my ear at 5am). It was so dark even my high ISO cameras […]
Mild
Really mild conditions in Sydney at the moment. The days aren’t that cold…the water is warm (20). Odd for this time of year. The waves are hibernating today…and tomorrow you should see a swell increase (wind swell only which is short lived). It is going to rain for sure… The One Wave crew are getting […]
Return
Hey there, I’m back! Yes my dreamy floating junket has come to an end. Gotta say, ain’t to shabby back here. Upon my return I discovered 3-4 footers and sunny on Saturday. It was pumping! Today’s a bit grey but still 2-3 footers are out there. Looks to be getting bigger tonight. What’s the haps […]
Smother
The south storms have arrived and wintery conditions have taken over. The southerly was howling 20 knots this morning, that’s OK…Bondi can be fun with the onshore mess. OK, maybe not as windy as this morning but at least it’s bringing some swell. You might find some head high runners later today. The Quiksilver Pro […]
Supply
We’ve got a fresh batch of south swell and the beach is full of wobbly peaks. She’s not perfect, but it’s worth getting wet. That is…until the wind swings more south. It’s 4 foot. Watch this video, it will get your pumped for the approaching ski season! :uge
L A R K
A survey of over 400 adults showed approximately 15% are morning people, 25% are evening people, and 60% are intermediates. I reckon it’s more than 15% for early birds around here…especially this time of year. As I always write, the wee hours are the best part of the day. The light is good, the winds […]
