What a difference can 24hours make.
Today is grey and wet. But what about yesterday ! What a cracker !
So, looking at the forecast, I decided yesterday arvo that I would cheer you up with blue sky and clear water.
But don't worry, this rainy episode should be brief, and you'll be able to work on your bronze coating soon.
Tomorrow, the new best shop in Bronte is opening: Cali Press ! Amazing cold press juices, fresh as. The recipes are amazing. I must say I pinched a few discretely when leaving the shop last night during the VIP opening night. Freshly made healthy juices, great coffee and food that is good for you, is what you will find there. Give it a crack. They open tomorrow morning at 7am, at 140B McPherson Street, Bronte.
Have a great day, People of the beach !

It felt like Summer was about to switch on this morning. The beach was packed, in and out of the water. The Sun was amazingly warm and intense, already at 6:30.
Only the swell and the wetties gave Spring away. 2ft at North Bondi, 3-4ft+ on the South end, it doesn't look like a Summer swell neither. Bondi was fun – a bit wobbly with the high tide though -, yet by far the most consistent over its 2 neighbors. But if you need a bit of peace and quiet, then Tama and Bronte should be your pick. There are waves to be had over there.
The swell should drop off a notch tomorrow, but the sun should still be out (23). So I recommend you try to pull out a sickie from your hat, because the rest of the week doesn't look too glorious.
Have a great day !

While JJF was smashing it in Cali, showing everyone how it's done, but leaving the victory go to Jordy Smith, we have some pretty decent conditions in our Eastern Suburbs.
It's not perfect, but the winds are still favorable, and a little less chilly than the last couple of day. There is fun to be had out there.
The rips are quite active, so be careful when you go swimming. I struggled a bit to get and stay in position this morning.
Getting in, I bumped into the crazy outfits and the all time smiles of the Fluro crew. Those guys are such a good vibe magnet !
The weekend is looking promising, but the wind is turning a little more South, so you might want to look for South protected corners, and I'm sure you'll find something decent to surf.
Have a great weekend !

Now we're talking ! What a morning: offshore winds, clean fun waves (2-4ft), and a bright warm sun. Winning combo !
The forecasted South swell has arrived on the dot (must be coming from Switzerland). With it, came favorable winds. And with those, came the crowd.
There was a training this morning on the South end of the beach to feature in the Guiness Book of Records: the most number of surfers taking off on a wave. I think we're close to breaking the record and make Bondi Beach even more famous than it already is.
This swell is due to stay a few days, so there should be plenty of waves to be enjoyed until at least Sunday. You'll just have to monitor what the winds are doing to pick your spot accordingly.
Have a good day, and I hope you'll get a few waves today. Wait till water drops a notch, and that should be pretty fun !

Have you felt yesterday that we were late December already in Bondi? The Sun out, the crystal clear flat water, the massive crowd on the beach and in the streets…all the ingredients post Xmas, pre-NYE !
The festival of the Winds brought quite a lot of people down the beach, to enjoy the sight of funky kites in the sky. But how about this weather ! It was tough to find a spot in the sun…
Today was a little less blue, but nice nonetheless. Tiny waves, but the bay wasn't completely a lake, so if you have the right kinda board or if you weight less than 50kg, you should be fine to catch a couple. Tomorrow should see a little increase in size (a little only, don't get too excited).
In Cali, however, they should be getting some decent size swell for the Hurley Pro. Have a look at the live feed tonight. If the competition resumes, it should be quite a great day of comp'. This wave is like a skatepark: every wave is surfed in a different manner, and some of the tricks come from deep down in the bottom of the hat !
Have a good day !
