A few pics from south Narra this am

Tide was not far off high and the swell was focusing on the Collaroy Narrabeen stretch, particularly the mid section near Gardens. I got a few pictures for ya (see below). Over 90 percent of set waves were shutting down, but there were some folks prepared to take off anyway…

Virtually all the big ones were shutting down.

Hello Friends,
Time to go surfing. I’m calling it 6-8/10 at spots that are liking the 2 metres of 10 sec east swell. Glassy and breaking hard from south of Mactier St to Northy. Nice from Dee Why Centre to No Man’s and beyond. I’m going for a closer look asap

Corker!

Perfect day today, a tick in all the boxes. Bronte reef very good to shoulder high and Tama has a couple of peaks looking good. Bondi smaller, way more crowded and full of backpackers.

Swim time

Everyone’s in, where are ya?

It’s the last day of kid cricket season and I really need to be at my daughter’s final game. But what about you? I’m pretty sure 90 percent of people who can surf, or would like to, were in the water this morning. I checked Manly (including the Bower), Freshy and Curly and certainly at around high tide, Manly was the pick – the very crowded pick – of the pack. Freshy had a few okay ones in the south corner and was good for learners up the north end. Curly had some size, but it was pretty fat and disorganised when I checked it around 0920-0930.

Anyway, here are a few snaps to give you a rough idea of how it all was looking…

Lotsa folks too...

South Steyne looking perfectly fine.

Around 0845 it was all happening at Manly.

The Bower not really producing much at high tide.

Not much wind around 0900 at North Steyne.

Over a hundred people in the water, but somebody has to catch 'em in the end.

Having fun near the rocks at the south end.

Chasing sections on high tide.

North Curly around 0930

Getting busier, but the tide keeping things pretty fat and full.

Fat and blown out

There looked to be swell on the rise yesterday but the S-S/W has kept it out to sea, People comming in now at Arra 2 – 3ft but wind and tide hurting it – little one at Woopi main near the surf club
