Only the super keen were out amongst it this morning. The swell has jacked up a little and is hitting the 4 ft mark but is in a disturbed state severely effected by the south devil wind.
The only recommendation for today is to hit mid Bondi where you may just be lucky enough to jag a couple of onshore lumps.
The wind is expected to ease today so don't count out that after work session. You just never know your luck in this big city!

As I drove from Bronte to Bondi I could see that there was a little bit of south wind swell coming in. So I headed straight to south facing Bondi. Sure enough there were waves but they were lacking punch at 2 – 3 ft. I think high tide will be much better, suiting the sand banks much more.
Did you see that light show pass out to sea last night? I was on the couch watching a movie and I couldn't ignore it much longer so I hit Bronte to see what I could come up with. French Franck Gazzola did the same and you can see his photo of the storm on our Frothers Facebook page. SHARE if you Like…..
There is waves for most of the week. The hard thing might be dodging the wind!
Good luck – Brad Malyon "Frother"
Yuk…Is the only word I can think of that describes the conditions on our beaches this morning. I am glad to be back in doors with my hot coffee! There ain't no waves to talk of just wind, rain and half foot slop.
I was a man on a mission with the lens moving quickly with the threat of guaranteed rain – trying my best to bring you guys your 7 shots of froth. It's not the best day for photo's out there and these images may bore you to tears but regardless, I am always up for the challenge and more than happy to do it all with a smile on my dial.
Put the board away today. Tomorrow will be better – still onshore but fun!
And If your on Instagram – check me out @bradmalyon – plenty of pretty pictures there for you!
Have the best weekend! Brad
The sunrise was in stealth mode this morning. The sun went from one side of the horizon to the other, totally unnoticed.
It’s one of those days that makes you wonder whether we really are on the brink of Summer…but it’s not raining, it’s relatively warm and the surf has cleaned up a notch.
Today’s password is: loggin
If you want to glide, then go thick, wide, and long. It’s a great day to leave the ropie in the car and walk the nose.
My pick for the waves is Bondi. Now, if you’d rather surf less waves but not be forced to share them with 3 others dudes, then Bronte had some waist high sets, fairly clean.
Let’s pray for the winds to be gentle on the week-end, since the South swell will be back (together with a bit more sun…hopefully…maybe….I hope).
Have a good one peeps’ !

There were two blondes sitting on the beach at Bondi this morning talking to each other about the total Solar Eclipse happening in Cairns, and one says to the other, “Which do you think is further away… the moon or Cairns?” The other blonde turns and says “Helloooooo, can you see Cairns?”
Fortunately, it ended up being clear enough up there for a decent viewing for all the people who risked traveling there from near and far to see it. Always a gamble I guess. We got totally skunked down here for our partial eclipse viewing with the heavy cloud cover upon us today. The next total eclipse for Sydney will be in 2028 and then there won’t be one for 830 years.
There are still a few junky waves around for the keen. Bondi has a few lumpy bumpies in the corner and the water has actually come up to a balmy 18c again so if you’re a Pommie backpacker, it’s boardies all the way. For the rest of us, stay in your 3/2 full suit while the cloud hangs around.
