It is a fabulous Friday out there today and full of smiles thanks to the gang from ONEWAVE They donned the fluro for their weekly board meeting at Bondi once again and the weather didn't let them down. The star of the show was the blow up swan… Hands down!
It is tiny (ok for a log) but be patient. By the time you get home from work there will be some fresh waves around to hit before you get stuck into a few beers to start the weekend. Don't do it the other way around of course. Bondi is already full of wonky wobbly riders!
Enjoy this weekend of waves ahead. I hope you surf yourself out – Brad 😉

It’s nice to be doing the update on mornings like this, even if the ocean is doing it’s best to impersonate a lake right now.
Today was definitely warmer than when I stepped out the door early yesterday. It’s almost like two steps towards winter and one step back to autumn lately. Surely it can't last much longer.
Since the surf is so small today I thought we’d visit the opposite end of the spectrum and check out what the crazies have been surfing in Tahiti the last couple of days. Click HERE to take a look.
Enjoy!

I had to stupidly knock on the dashboard (…as if it'd help) to make sure I was not dreaming: 9 degrees ! Single digit again…
This morning has been a nice one, cloudless but crisp, contrasting with the warmth of the water. After a week in Fiji, I can tell you that I looked like I was going skiing while shooting this update !! I think I just scored myself the man-flue…
Wave-wise, it was small (knee to waist high, with some odd ones to the shoulders), clean and fun. They might not be big, but there are plenty of them, fairly consistent.
Get the Mal, or the fish out: it's the perfect day for those rides. Nothing like what just happened in Teahupoo: have you seen Koa Rothman's ride ?!!
Have a great day. Enjoy this winter sun, and think about poor old Europe who has not had a Spring yet, battling through an infinite number low pressure systems. Our winter seems to be better than their Spring, ten times over.
Cheers,
Franck

The pace has dropped back a couple of notches. The swell has backed right off and the usual hustle and bustle in the water at Bondi just wasn't there this morning. Probably something to do with the weather right? It was dark for a very long time!
So, I slowed my camera right down to match the mood taking advantage of the low light, lack of sunshine and knee high waves. I hit the shorey at South end with a couple of good blokes on longboards named Joe and Jarred. They had the small shorey peak all to themselves and were just stoked on being out there!
The water is sensational. It's still got to be up around 21 degrees I say! It looks like the sun is coming out too!
Enjoy the day! – Brad

Well, I hope all the Mum’s out there had a wonderful Mother’s Day yesterday. Next stop is Dad’s Day and I just want to put in my order now. I DON’T want socks and undies, all I need for Fathers Day this year are some good waves. Now that’s not being too greedy, is it?
Not much in the way of surf today with only a tiny, disjointed east swell filtering into our beaches. Maroubra is probably the call if you want a wave on your short board. Bondi is a little smaller and weaker but perfect for something a little longer and thicker.
Whatever you choose to ride, have a great week enjoying it!
