Promise
This morning was one of those that nearly got there – but didn’t. The sunrise had promise, clouds in the right spot but it just didn’t bloom as anticipated. The cloud bank just got thicker and thicker – blocking the potential of a postcard morning. The surf looked clean and the supply of swell was […]
Monochromatic
MMMMM, don’t ya just love it, howling onshore dark mornings at Bondi? Autumn is typically a surfers paradise with grooming offshores and fresh southerly swells – nah not this Autumn. There are waves in the 3-4 foot range (no one out), but that nemesis East wind has gotta go. It’s rattling all of us, even […]
Rogue Chunks
Gee this swell really kicked in yesterday. Some wild chunks of water smashing into Bondi this morning. The Icebergs was smothered and swimmers were thrown into different lanes. South Bondi had a few, but they were quite rare and fickle. When they broke they’re in the 4-6 foot mark. Lots of water moving around making […]
Colourful Fridays
A lot was going on down at Bondi this morning. In fact that’ an understatement. It was a crazy combination of some of the best waves we’ve had all week, Friday (so everyone comes down), warm bath-like water, decent sunrise and One Wave (Fluro Fridays) 6th Birthday – busy! Good to see a little kick […]
Grey Suits
Yesterday Bondi Beach was closed due to multiple shark sightings (a big one apparently). A few of the local boys exited the water – screaming! Wow. Also, there was a rescue yesterday at North Bondi with a man in distress. Hence 3 emergency helicopters in the bay after lunch. All action down here yesterday. All […]
The Royals get Shacked!
Breaking News: Prince Harry and Meghan visit Bondi Beach this morning to surf our world famous closeouts! Harry was a little disappointed it wasn’t pumping out there, he said it was a tad small for him and he prefers hollow reef breaks and warmer water. Looks like Harry forgot his wetsuit anyway. The glamorous couple […]
Glorious
It’s a good thing that it rained for weeks and weeks this month, as, when the weather came good, you REALLY enjoyed it. The weekend just gone in Sydney was immaculate. I am talking sunshine, waves, little wind….and perfect temps. Just glorious. This morning was no different. People walking around with a face full of […]
Party Time
Gotta give it to those One Wave crew, they’ve surely started something big. It’s their 2nd birthday today and an enormous crowd rolled down to Bondi at sunrise. It could not have been a better morning for the crew. No waves, warm water and stunning sunrise. Bondi is surfless. North East swells don’t even enter […]
Flyday
It’s Friday…or Flyday as my Chinese ancestors say. It’s the end of the week and another day of belting sunshine and warm conditions. Waves are tiny, like 12 inches…but the One Wave Fluoro crew were loving it – as usual. Great to see so many smiling faces in the water – even with no waves. […]
Hi Vis
Even though it was a dark grey morning nothing like a bit of fluoro from the One Wave crew to brighten things up. Today is “One Wave is all it takes” 1st birthday and by the look of the incredible turn out they’re going strong. About 100 fluoro warriors took over South Bondi for an […]
S P I R I T
There was such a good vibe down the beach this morning. The Christmas spirit was everywhere. Shame Santa still hasn’t broken our week long swell drought…the surf is tiny. Tomorrow there may be a little wind wave. How about this weather? 35 degrees today – tools down, hit the beach. If you order our new […]
Frivolous Friday
Its real pretty down the beach, just lacking waves. Waist-high-shorey is all you’ll find. Nice light and glassy conditions as there is no wind. Have I mentioned how much I love Autumn? Felt cold before the sun came up, but we’re fine now with 23. The OneWave Crew were out in force, up to their […]
Fluoro Friday
A colourful morning down at Bondi. We’ve got waves, offshore winds, pro surfers, people dressed in fluoro and TV celebrity chefs. Never a dull moment down there. The waves look tasty. 3-4 foot. Bigger tomorrow afternoon (Sat) but the wind will kick up with it. If you’re wondering what’s with all the fluoro dressing up […]
