No wave. Not even a wrinkle. Not a breath of wind.
The lack of swell and the high tide did the magic trick: the surf has disappeared !
A great swim in the rocks, in a now much warmer water, is what you can thrive for this morning.
Alternatively, you can try to go North, in NE swell magnets. Whale beach was surprisingly good on Sunday, considering that Bondi was flat as. So, if your fins are looking for some action, gamble your way North.
Temperature is great outside, and due to increase further towards the end of the week ! We may reach a good 34 degrees Saturday, folks ! Yew !
Have a good day, and be patient for the swell…
Christmas is 'round the corner: come and visit us at the Gallery in Bronte (145 MacPherson Street) !

It was a foggy and dreary start to the week out there this morning. After the weekend’s blister buster, it’s kind of a relief and I’m sure if you’re off to work today it won’t be as hard to take knowing you’re not missing the sunshine. That goes for surf too because it’s more or less flat as and hardly worth it!
Besides the disgusting amount of rubbish left over on the beach this morning, there was also quite a few blue bottles littering the shoreline after the weak southerly change moved through over night. It has always mystified me how they come from nowhere as soon as we get an onshore wind.
Looks like more of the same weather for the next few days at least but Bondi should be a lot nicer for a swim this afternoon and again tomorrow as the wind swings back to the north later today.
Have a great week!

It’s a much nicer day outside than yesterday. No more horrible wind to blow the dog off the chain, or mess up your hairdo as you run for the bus to work.
If you’re lucky enough to have an RDO today making your weekend an extended three day affair, lucky you! Everyone should be very pleased to know that the beach weather looks to be hanging around for the next few days as well!
We can’t have it all though and there may not be too much surf around for the die-hard’s amongst us, however, there should be something in the way of a few little summery waves more suited for a longer or wider craft to ride especially.
For all those surfers that like to dream about riding huge barrels, take a look at this little clip and ask yourself the question. Do you think you have it in you to paddle into a perfect monster like this?
It could make your life, or take it away, and that’s why the majority of us will honestly say nay! Click HERE for a look.
Have a great weekend!

Amazing surf, for those who managed to paddle out yesterday ! Today is a different story…
The 25 knots and the 50 shades of grey in the sky have turned yesterday's conditions into a long distance memory.
As there was no surf anywhere, no real activity on the beach, no sun, no colors really, I decided to go and shoot on the rocks. Where the crabs live.
Imagine being woken up by big buckets of water in your face…well, today that's what those crabs must have been through. Tough life…
The most important thing to know is that tomorrow the sun is back, and the week-end is looking more than promising ! Yew !
It's almost Christmas, and anyone could use a bit of Ocean in the living room. Come and visit us at the Frothers Gallery in Bronte (145c MacPherson Street). Christie will help you out.
Remember: everyone who steps out of the Frothers Gallery with a frame can then claim having a place with Ocean view !
Bonne journee a tous !

After a few weeks of average conditions, the swell and wind finally got it’s act together for a beautiful morning of clean over head surf.
A new low pressure system spinning off the North Coast has flicked a beautifully groomed north east swell straight at us.
Maroubra as usual was the pick. The south end of the beach produced some nice barrels behind the reef on the early high tide, with the adjacent sandbar also sharing the load with a few grinding rights as well.
The wind is slowing strengthening and creeping around to the north east, so maybe try a smaller Bondi if you still want some clean conditions this afternoon.
Anyway, I’m out there! I will leave you with a little clip of a couple of very lucky Hawaiian pro surfer girls who have not only been blessed with talent but good looks as well. Click HERE.
Enjoy!
