Excursion
I took the mini-froth-lords on an excursion to an east-facing beach – hoping for bigger waves and less crowd. We weren’t the only ones with that idea! We discovered 3-4 foot bowls amongst an early (chaotic) crowd. I always thought Bondi was the pinnacle of surfing chaos – we’re not alone! NW winds and plenty […]
Routine
I am returning to the morning routine with a very stock-standard Bondi Monday morning. Currently, we have a 5 am (ish) low tide, which is punishing local surfers, dehydrating our fickle banks, and making it quite unsurfable. When we finally get more tide in the morning, there’ll be some joy out there. Plenty of south […]
Drainers
The beach is full of dramatic rips, sweeps and shallow banks. Exacerbated by the lower morning tides, there’s plenty of hollowness and straightness. Nothing too exciting, 2-3 foot (mainly 2) but the super-groms and mini-john-johns were pumped. Sun finally came out, and the winds were non-existent. Clean az. I’m a big fan of Indonesia and […]
Gromfest
The swell has switched from south to more ENE – making smaller waves at Bondaka. A couple of rip bowls in the south kept the micro groms entertained as the tide went high (7:30 am). Not many waves are wasted when Bondi’s youngsters mob a peak, 1 foot, half-a-foot, two foot – they thrive. The […]

The weather is perfect today and there is a little waist to chest high wave on Sydney’s beaches. That’s about all the information you require today. Try and go for a swim or surf… : : u g e

The cold front has passed as the sun has returned after a brief fling with a thunderstorm. Swell is up, wind is slight offshore and 3 footers are on the loose…get out there and score your very own close out. I am sure there’s one with your name on it. I’d go now before the […]
Bakin’
What a nice morning. Cooking with warm temps early. Every man and his lycra was out doing something at sunrise this morning – hard to sleep in with all this early morning sunlight. Surfing wasn’t too high on the priorities this morning as waves dribble in at 1 foot. Perfect if you’re new to the […]
Game on
Oh my, what a day. The sun is blaring and a new south swell is providing the goods @ 3-4 foot. Offshore all day (with variations of westerlies)…sound good eh? BUT Bondi just can’t handle most of the waves coming through and badly requires a decent bank – so many closeouts rolling in – shame. […]
