Getting wet for International Surfing Day
Posted on June 20th, 2009 in Environment, Good causes, News Stories, Top stories.Hello Friends,
Just back from a little beach clean up to celebrate International Surfing Day. Surfrider Foundation northern beaches chapter couldn’t be put off by gale force wind and torrential rain. We combed the length of Fishermans around to Collaroy for rubbish and I’m happy to report that while we definitely picked up a few tens of kilos, the beach was in very good shape – particularly in light of the stormwater rushing out at three or four different spots.
Interestingly there were a fair number of bluebottles washed up along the high tide line. I guess we can expect a few more as the NE’r continues to hammer us.
Grabbed a few snaps of the happy crew…

3 feet of blown out mess but the week ahead looks good
Posted on June 20th, 2009 in Curl Curl, Surf Reports.2-4 feet of short period ENE wind swell which pretty useless right now. Forecast is for improvement by tomorrow as the wind swings more northerly and then NW by early next week with plenty of swell and better period. Plenty of swell is Bali and rest of indo last week- some good vids available on Baliwaves.com of Padang Padang doing it’s thang! – Enjoy.
Roll over and get some more z’s

If only the wind were offshore...
Hello Friends,
Comparatively mild as the Saturday kicked off in Sydney, but as anticipated, the NE’r was already into the 15-20 kt range at first light. If you were just going by the MHL buoy data, it might look like there’d be something happening. After all, it’s showing about two metres from the east at a touch under 8 seconds. But, I have to tell you, it’s very junky and messy anywhere with exposure to the wind – and that will be pretty much everywhere.
Low tide is at 1124
