High Performance
The surf was on so all of Bondi’s finest shredders were up for the early. It was quite a display of high-performance surfing. I was busy today, reos on the rights, airs on the shorey, carves on the lefts. It was a very active lineup with consistent waves around head-high. At dawn I began in […]
Fluky
The 8 am Dolphin Bondi show was cancelled, not a Flipper in sight at sunrise. It was amusing how many people came down in the hope to see another Dolphin festival – doesn’t happen every day aye…I’m down there every day. This morning was quite unusual. Hear me out. In the south end, we had […]
Reinstatement
Last night there was a little spike of swell which has continued into the morning. It’s a short period bump, so it will not hang around, but there were some very fun head high waves at sunrise. I’d expect the waves to decline rapidly as the day progresses. Tomorrow will be tiny. The Autumn sunshine […]
Deranged Shorey
Welcome to Summer! It’s a very summery day outside too as we creep up to 26 salubrious degrees. The morning cloud has gone and blue skies prevail. The waves were a bit funky this morning with higher tides. There was shoreys, they’re not for the faint-hearted though, extremely shallow and hard to get down. I’ve […]
Remedy
I can’t believe it… there are surfable waves this morning down at Bondi. It’s onshore, mushy, junkie and random – but who cares, as water is moving and Lake Bondi is a fading recent nightmare. In a typical year, I would rate today’s surf @ 2/10 – but 2020 is anything but typical. I saw […]
Fresh Coconuts
There are fresh coconuts on Bondi Beach today, all the way from an idyllic pacific island. Damn that southerly blew hard last night, nearly lost our boards as we exited the ocean. All that southerly kicked up some swell. It’s definitely not pumping, but surfable. We haven’t seen waves in ages, and ages. So I […]
Change
Change is in the air. The sun is rising earlier, Kanye West wants to be president (*wants), Jeff Bezos is now worth 200 billion and spring is only days away. Yep days! Sunday is gonna strike a maximum 26 degrees, our first hot day since all the Rona business smothered the globe. Going to the […]
