Wandered down to Curly and Freshwater for a look around 0900. Was curious to see if they were any better than Dee Why and Collaroy-Narrabeen. They were. But only just. There were five people in the water at mid-Curly, and they were it. Sets were struggling to get to waist high, but the bigger ones had brief moments of something sort of resembling energy.
Around at Freshy, there were quite a few more people in the water and I suppose it was justified because you could pick things up more than 50 metres off the sand (unlike Curly) and kind of glide along in stately fashion for some distance. No power of course, but a shortboard could be used if surfed judiciously.
Still, if your day can’t include surfing, then rest assured, you really haven’t missed much.
