Hello again Friends,
Did a quick run around to get a sense of how the southern end of the Northern Beaches looked early.
Here are a few thoughts…
Fairy Bower seemed to be pretty busy, but there may have been a long lull because I really didn’t see anything above chest high. Given the swell, I think there must be bigger ones though. Lulls + crowds = 7/10
There were good waves all up and down the Manly stretch. Very crowded of course, but the payoffs could be pretty impressive. 8/10
Freshwater didn’t have too many in, but I think most of the bigger ones were shutting down and the surfable smaller ones were inconsistent. 5/10
Curly didn’t seem to have anyone in. The north end looked plausible, but the lack of any participants has to raise question marks. 5/10
At Dee Why both the point and the beach were offering options. Quality was pretty good, crowds were about average for hols. 7/10
Far north Collaroy to Northy was pretty uncrowded. There were a few folks out down toward Mactier street and then hardly anyone between there and Northy (where the standard issue cluster of bods was on it). Rides at the south end were short, but could be intense. 7/10
