Sat morning pics

Hello Friends,

Got out and about with the camera this morning. Here are a dozen snaps mainly from Gardens, but including Curly and Longy too.

Mostly shot between about 8-930 – just before Huey turned the power down. As of midday we’ve gone from SE at 1.5 metres at 9 seconds apart to 1.5m south at 8 seconds apart around midday. The consequences are that waves are now much smaller and less frequent than this morning when I shot the following pics.

Only a little one, but still looks like a hoot.

Lefts not as common as rights this morning at Gardens.

Smooth wall man.

Kneelo locks into one.

Just about the right spot.

Fitting in as best he can, Gardens.

Another one stands up on the low tide this morning.

Busy at Gardens this morning.

Longy scene this morning before the swell faded.

North Curly peak goes boom on the bank.

One wedges up at North Curly around 0900.

Not a drop out of place on this one at Gardens around 0800.

Heat 1 of the Jesus Pro-Am at Queensie

Jesus Pro-Am at Queensie Heat one

Its all happening at Queensie this morning with the Jesus Pro-Am in full swing. The event is on both today and tomorrow. Come on down and check it out, there’s lots of food and drink on offer as well as seeing a lot of great surfers in action.  Took a couple of shots  of the guys out in the first heat. There is only just enough swell but this guys made it look good.

Shoulder-high, glassy, clean, offshore, cold

Dropped but not flat

Goodly number of bods in jagging a few from the fading swell this morning.

Energy levels have decreased over the last 24 hours, but it still looks to me as though there should be some surf options around the place – particularly as the main swell direction has gone more around to the SE. The MHL buoy is currently showing 1.5 metres on average with a period of 10 seconds. Wind is currently W to WNW at 8-10 kts.

Quite a number of folk chasing waist to chest high waves down at the Dee Why super peak.

Outlook is for a very gradual decline today and then the models show the primary direction going more to the east along with a slight increase in period for tomorrow and Monday.

Beyond that, the models have really been fluctuating around over the last few days. At the moment there looks to be the prospect of a potentially juicy but brief south pulse long about Tues afternoon.

Next tide is a low at 0854.

Here’s the latest from the Bureau

Sydney Coastal Waters, Broken Bay to Port Hacking and 60nm seawards:
Saturday until midnight: Wind: W/SW 5/10 knots, turning S 10/15 knots during the afternoon and reaching 15/20 knots at times during the evening.Sea: about 1 metre, rising to 1.5 to 2 metres later. Swell: S/SE 1.5 to 2 metres.
