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 […]

It’s hard to believe that Bondi is only 8 kilometres from a major city and has such clear water (sometimes). Definitely not all the time. This is the same beach that was famous for an untreated sewage outlet which was closed in the mid-1990s. Can you believe that? Well…today Bondi’s got her best duds on…crystal, […]
Climax
Today started off well…a nice little fireball lit up behind Ben Buckler…but now she’s gone 50 shades of grey. The surf – little glassy, waist high peaks, good for a grovel. Winds should be good all day. Just need a bit more swell. Friday is looking good at Bondi with a south swell and offshore […]
Friday Fix
Two weeks ago we did a road trip through some of New Zealand’s spectacular beaches with our guide, Kiwi surf legend, Maz Quinn. N-Zed is such a under-rated surf destination with so many good setups, I’ll be back for sure. The photos I took on the roadie were very popular with you all, so I […]
chunk
There is swell, quite a chunky one and from the south, but it’s still not doing it. C’mon. It’s 4-5 foot, a tad too big for the banks at Bondi to handle. The flanking south winds seem to be causing havoc as well….there is plenty of junky chop out there. Bondi had a couple of […]
Sin City
I’ve been carrying around Canon cameras for years that are video capable…but have never gone there. Well today we filmed our first little Aquabumps video. Watch it (it’s only 2 minutes long) as it pretty much sums up the sensational morning. Remember it’s our first vid (and have no clue) so go easy. Waves are […]
Shaka
Hiya. Looks like you’ve got a hot week back home in Bondi. Nothing much under the thirties. Hit the beach and cool off for sure. Over here in Hawaii the swells keep coming. See it’s winter in the northern hemisphere and raging storms in between Alaska and Russia push down a whole pile of solid […]
Bump
Nice little clean bump out there this morning with very few people around in the darkness (the sun didn’t pop out until 7:20am). Water is ridiculously warm, the sun is out, the wind is gentle – sounds good huh. Most waves struggled above the 2 foot mark…odd bigger 3 foot set. Shame the banks haven’t […]
Sloppage
The onshore marathon continues. Bondi had a small group of surfers out this morning – huddling close together – maybe closer together than normal. They weren’t really catching anything worth writing about…3 foot mush burgers – so you’re missing nothing down here at the beach. Tomorrow is a different story, these nemesis onshores are meant […]
