Hunting waves, pt. 1 WWD-DY

Hello Friends

Usually ordinary, but today one of the pick spots.

First stop for me this morning was at Warriewood, which, as it turns out so far in my travels, had the best waves I’ve seen. They aren’t affected by the SSW wind and there are a few okay ones getting in for the quickly growing crew. Best wave I saw was around the shoulder high mark on the take off, but there were others of similar size coming in and it seemed reasonably consistent.

 

The only question mark where Warriewood’s concerned is the possible effluent issues from the outfall thanks to the rain we had overnight.

Northy all alone and empty for anyone who fancies a solitary sesh.

From there I swung by Turrimetta which had okay size on the sets but was rendered less than attractive by the wind and lowering grey skies. No one was in the water. Around the corner at North Narrabeen the story was similarly dismal. Again, no one in the water because it was just so woeful. Choppy, messy, fat, you name it and Northy was doing it – or not doing it.

 

Given the dire state of Northy, I didn’t bother to check south Narrabeen. Saw a couple bods in the water at a perfectly calm looking Collaroy (sets maybe?). Around the corner at Long Reef the conditions were similar to yesterday, ie strangely subdued and unstrangely wind affected. Nothing was showing on the bombies nor it seemed out along the south side of Long Reef.

Well up the beach toward Longy there seemed to be a little peak at around 0830.

Dee Why was small too. Nothing doing at the point, but there was a small crew jagging little things up toward the pole. Didn’t seem quite as big as Warriewood, but I’m sure there’d be the odd set for the dedicated crew.

Next stop, Curly…
