Plenty of sunshine on tap today with just a slim chance of a cheeky shower around 7 pm. Out front, the waves are head-high and groomed to perfection. The early tide didn’t do us any favours, but from 9:30 am onwards I watched a steady stream of rippable sections roll in. Plenty to go around, […]
SSW
Fresh breezes from the south dragged in colder air overnight… and with it, swell and plenty of wind. Bondi lit up this morning with way more size than the forecasts teased — solid 6-foot plus chunks rolling through, wild and woolly. Not a soul out the back. A few brave lads tucked into the inside […]
Getting Lippy
Didn’t expect much this morning, but Ramp 2 turned it on. The 5:47 am high tide funnelled the new south swell energy straight onto that ledgy sandbar, and she threw out a few lips worth chasing. Only waist to shoulder high, sure—but the wave shape was impressive. As the tide drained, the outer banks woke […]
Big Moon
WE ARE BACK.Can you feel it? First proper warm morning of the season, and like clockwork, the Bondi faithful poured back in with the dawn light. Both in abundance. The swell? Waist-to-chest sets, nothing to write home about. A short, abrupt shorey tried its best to entertain, but with the returning crowd clogging every takeoff, […]
Molly
After a bit of light overnight rain, it was nice to wake to a clear sky this morning. The beach wasn’t busy, and later the sun came out, lighting up those overhead sets still rolling in from the south swell. Warm NW winds (just 2 knots) kept it clean at Bondi… barely anyone out, which […]
Outside the Silo
Are you watching the TV series on Apple called SILO? It’s a futuristic sci-fi where, post-apocalypse, we all live underground. Saying the words “I WANT TO GO OUTSIDE” was seen as irrational — and if you said it, you had to actually follow through. Today, I went outside.I saw a break in the rain, rode […]
Drying Out
It was such a sigh of relief heading down to Bondi this morning with light — a break in the clouds letting the sun smother the bay. I didn’t get rained on once today… not once. Have the annoying monsoonal typhoons finally fizzled out? The forecast suggests so. Thursday’s the only wet day in sight […]
Glow & Go
It was a very picturesque Monday to kick off the week. Colourful hues ignited above Ben Buckler whilst 1-2 footers peeled into the bay from the East. Yesterday was an incredible Sunday – everywhere was pumping with no wind, plenty of swell and sunshine. Bondi was fantastic, with enormous crowds feasting on 4-5 foot piping […]
Pulse Returns
Lately we’ve had a plethora of small wave days, so it was nice to wake up to 3-4 foot drainers in the south. The changing seasons always bring better surf to Bondi… Today’s waves are from a long range, decent period, south swell, that will build during the day. The tricky bit will be the […]
Drenched in Pink
This morning, Bondi Beach put on a show—one of those sunrises that stops you in your tracks. The kind that makes early alarms worth it, where the sky doesn’t just wake up—it explodes. Before the sun even peeked over the horizon, magenta and fiery pink streaks bled across the sky, reflecting off the ocean like […]
Sublime brine
After what seems like weeks of junky, limp, undersized surf – we’ve been gifted some decent surfing conditions this morning. Waves are breaking clean in the waist to shoulder-high vicinity and operating on multiple peaks. Groomed by a light NW offshore breeze and dowsed in the sunshine – the morning crew was out in significant […]
Big Stuff
Yesterday arvo the swell came up big. Some waves broke extremely far out, bang in the middle of the Bondi bay. We could have cuddled the shark buoy; we were that far out. How big? 6 foot with the odd more significant set. Good? Hmm, debatable; some mates snagged a few, but it wasn’t that […]
Thriving
Some sublime conditions to start the week – warm, offshore, sunny. It’s a shame that I can feel the SE onshore starting to feather into the bay, bringing some clouds and unfavourable conditions. Ramp Dos has sand, but it only works when it’s tiny. Any sets overhead close out completely. I surfed it yesterday with […]
