Curly lookin’ very small

Breaking pretty close to the sand 0740

Curly’s not curling too spectacularly. Hardly anyone in the water up the north end and just two mad bodyboarders trying to dash themselves to death on the rocks south of the pool at south Curly. Sets at North Curly were struggling to get to waist high at around 0740. The only catchable ones were breaking pretty much on the sand. Surface conditions were similar to those at Freshy, ie lightly chopped but nothing to put you off if you’re keen.

Here are the bodyboarders…

When the waves bounce off the rocks at South Curly, you can catch them out to sea and into the oncoming swell - assuming you're crazy!
