0700: grab 'em while you can
Hello Friends,
Nice and cold this morning, but sunny skies and a few little waves about too. The swell peaked yesterday afternoon, but it hasn’t dropped back into the unsurfable range. You’ll be wanting a stretch of south facing beach because the swell is coming from thataway. It’s a couple metres on average out at sea and the all-important period setting is on a low, but still functional 8 seconds.
Taking Dee Why as an example, the sets are still getting into the waist to chest high range, but the waits are longish. Not many takers this morning because of the bitter air temps… however, as the day warms up, I’d expect the population to increase because, apart from anything else, it is just such an absolute corker of a day.
Outlook is for the swell to weaken away to pretty much nothin’ by tomorrow…
The week ahead looks like being small to start with but to build a little into the fun range if an anticipated south pulse arrives on Thursday.
Go well, and stay happy!
Mid-day scenes

Out and about on errands, so I took along my camera (what a surprise) and grabbed a few snaps for your amusement…
-
- Charging the shutdowns at little Narra.
-
- Da old Narrabeen bumping up a few options on less than optimal south swell.
-
- Small, but keenly attended along the sands of Mona Vale.
Nice little two footers at Curly today
Posted on August 9th, 2008 in Curl Curl, Surf Reports.12 days to Mentawais! 2 foot, clean, offshore, crowded and ice cream headaches in the 16 degree water but well worth a paddle. Top day but get in early as the swell is forecast to fade. Enjoy.
