Update

30th of Aug, 2010

What a cracker of a week! Sunshine and blue skies for days, a great opportunity for us to dabble with daily video surf reports. We have had some extremely positive feedback, and would like to say thanks to all of you frothers who are behind us! If you see Luke and Christie filming the daily report down at the beach don't be shy, go and say hello! For those of you who are hearing the words "daily video surf report" for the first time, get onto our Facebook page here and check them out.

We had some little waves to play on during the working week, but nothing spectacular. After our warm start to the week, and with only a few days of winter remaining, Jack Frost blew in a stiff SW wind on Friday. The frosty temp and lack of surf left Bondi deserted, a breather before the swell over the weekend. As expected the swell came up on Saturday morning, reaching the 5-6ft range in the arvo but was somewhat wind affected in the arvo. Sunday saw some clean 4-5ft waves early before backing off slightly through the day. The north corner at Bondi was the most popular with a count of 50 heads at one stage.

There isn't too much to look forward to swell wise this week. An air temp of 25 on Wednesday looks the goods so make the most of it Frothers! Some great shots this week, especially from Bill Morris and Andrew Gorton. Enjoy!

After a night of importing and editing at the end of a bootcamp of a weekend has left me totally knackered. If you were here on the weekend you know what went down. If you weren't here, kick back and press play.

Surf Report - By Ben Horvath (COASTALWATCH)

Swell: 2-4ftNE
Rating: 7
Water Temp: 17

Big improvement overnight with potential to get better if the wind eases. Yesterday's northerlies are now NW. There's still up to a metre of NE swell with peaks everywhere. get out there if you can. I must admit i thought it would be better than what it is, the wind is too strong it has knocked the top off last nights sets. Check the Coastalwatch swell forecast.
