Piss off. Don’t give them any ideas.
Expensive parking hasn’t helped Bondi.

It's interesting at my local.

There was a camera there for 2 or 3 years but negotiations with the site apparently fell over and the nearest one is now a kilometre or so away.
But the damage was done even though it's probably been gone for 3 years.
Add in COVID lockdowns and work from home options, it's got pretty busy in the last year.

But, manageable. Especially early in the morning.
Add in school holidays and it gets a bit hectic.

Fairly good waves this morning and the car park was full by 6.30 with a lot of stranger faces heading out. Lot of short boards.
So by 6.45 there were 30 + in the main break area.

However almost all the waves were being caught by locals
Good size, long rides.

The majority of the blowins were sitting around as mobile chicanes.
By 7.30 we were back to 8 locals, still having a ball.

Here's hoping the "visitors" have all gone away adding to the sizeable list of people who talk about it.being a hoax wave.

You really have to surf it a lot to get the most out of it.

Despite having a rock bottom, it seems to change daily and the predictors.need to be understood so you can pick the right wave and get into position.

Love this place.

Great bunch of locals, mals, shortboarders, even some of the SUP'ers and a knee boarder or two.

I still don't buy the "official" narrative about 9/11. Oh sure, it happened, fcuk yeah. But who and why and how I'm, not convinced it was what we've been told.

Had a surf there last time I was up that way a few years ago. Good mal wave but it would tend to shit you on a hpsb I reckon.

I have surfed that little reefy bit in front of the surf club a couple of times when I lived there many years ago.

There's a half dozen or so hpsb riders who rip it apart. Plus a fair percentage of the Windansea guys.
As I said.
You have to know how to read it.
