Hello Friends,
What a day for yours truly. That’s three days in a row sweating over how the site is working… we seem to have recovered everything and it seems to be doing what it’s supposed to be. At around 4, with the site largely restored, I decided to duck out for a quick look at the surf situation from my local vantage points. First, I checked out the Collaroy-Narrabeen stretch. Northy and little Northy looked utterly missable. Couldn’t see anyone in the water. Okay size, but junky and totally the wrong swell direction. As you came back down the beach, the size decreased toward the tiny end of the scale at Collaroy.
There were a couple guys out doing practice tow-ins at centuries, but size was only around head high on most of them.
Around the corner at Long Reef, things looked junky. Size was okay, but the sideshore made it pretty unappetizing. No one was in the water in the arc from Dontals around to the bombies. I’ve seen folks out in much worse, so I guess the cold was kind of detering folks.
Finally, there was Dee Why. Still a reasonable crew on the point and a scattering of bods in the beachy up from the club house. Both beach and point were still throwing up the odd head high set, but you can see the swell has really dropped.
According to the MHL buoy, swell’s now dead south and around the 2.5 metre mark at about 10 sec apart. That’s plenty enough for surfin’ but obviously is off the peak heights by quite a bit. Very much in line with expectations.
Expect it to be a bit smaller again tomorrow morning I’d say. But south facing stretches ought to have a few on offer for the keen.
Go well and have a great evening!
