Out and about: Mona to Northy

Norffy very messy and junky, but if you're super keen, rewarding moments to be found.

Hello Friends,

Thought I’d get out and about this morning to see what was happening up at Mona and Northy (and between). Basically the wind is trashing everything. No one was in the water at Mona Vale – and for very good reason. It looked horrid. You can see there’s a bit of size around the place. Had the wind conditions been favourable, I think the odd head high plus set would not have been out of the question. But with the chop as bad as it is, one couldn’t be entirely sure about the actual size of the underlying swell. The best thing about the stop at Mona was the smell of the sea on the wind. Lovely.

Didn’t stop to look at Warriewood or little Narra as the wind was straight onshore and there’d be no hope whatsoever of a wave.

Around at Northy the situation was almost as dire, but there were a few bods in the water working on their moves. Swell doesn’t seem to have a lot of push, so their efforts to get air were not consistently rewarded. The chop was dominating, but if you picked your moment, a little shoulder high section revealed itself every now and again.

Off to have a squizz at points south, so more from me in a bit…
