The Good Stuff
Really, REALLY nice morning. Kind of had it all… Decent little colourful sunrise, head high waves, warm water and a massive morning crowd both in the water and on the beach. Bondi was in sunrise hyperdrive. Sweaty lycra, Instagrammers, hungry surfers, morning dippers…such a hive of activity. The funny thing is, it’s just for an […]

Offshore and a couple banks at Bondi putting on the goods. Waves breaking in the waistline to chest region…fun! You won’t be lonely out there – morning mayhem. Ah yes, you’ve guessed it – the water, weather and conditions are pretty darn good. The Lifeguards are holding their annual inter council surfing comp today – […]
Eclipse
After watching Red Bull’s new surfing movie last night starring Jordy Smith (Bending Colours), I was all pumped up to shoot some high performance surfing today. The conditions were lacking at Bondi, weak and waist to shoulder high – not ideal. The skies are filled with threatening rain clouds – making it dark and needing […]
Daily Fix
Half decent morning down the hill today. Started off with a nice sunrise surprise and then clean 2 footers in the bay. It’s dropped, quite a lot from yesterday, but only for today, then it kicks back up again tomorrow with a brand new shiny ground swell. A south one – even better cause we […]
bump
Hiya. There’s a little wave out dere. Bigger and cleaner than yesterday. Not smoking but surfable(ish). A few of the larger 3 foot sets were showing promise, but the banks weren’t doing much. I reckon it will improve with the incoming tide. High tide 10:20am, low tide 5pm. 1.5 days left of shopping – If […]
onshore galore
Easterlies are the devil wind for us….basically messes up most locations. Disappointing morning down at Bondi, a small crew grovelling over 1-2 foot slop. The rest of the week looks like there is a strong easterly swell, but it’s going to also be onshore until Friday…so the options are narrow. I like Thursday at dusk […]
Scorcher
Hot is probably the most outstanding attribute to describe today’s conditions. 35 big ones forecasted so a swim after work in the day-light-saving-hours will be a must. Surfing isn’t the best option today, as that southerly change last night didn’t blow long enough to create anything substantial – windwaves only on offer – 1 to […]
Immaculate
The incredible winter weather continues today. A sun baked morning down at Bondi with rich light and a small, but rideable 2 foot right hander in the middle. Yesterday’s south swell has fallen thru. It wasn’t too bad yesterday on the low tide as hollow mini-pipes slapped against a very shallow bank. Gotta hate school […]
Bowlarama
Crispy clear morning down at Bondi. The 6:25am high tide was sure to hide any of the current small SSE ground swell. Mainly 2 foot with the odd 3 foot set if you waited long enough. Nothing really special to report as most sets closed out or were super fat. Favourable NW winds today and […]
Back to summer
Sorry about the lack of updates this week. Went down to Melbourne to remind me what mid-winter is like. Nice 14 degrees and rainy down there (3 days straight). ANYWAY, back in paradise its a perfectly sunny 25 degrees, barely any wind and a small 2 footer, with the odd 3 footer in the corner […]
