It’s on

Lots on it from first light... and you can see why.

Hello Friends,

Sorry about the very late report, but naturally I had isp issues this morning. Big Pond cable is crawling for me atm. Anyway, who cares? It is going orf at spots that like the east swell. But it’s not so hot at those that don’t.

I’m going to post this report as a sequence of updates so that I can get something online asap.

Let's see... could it be any better?

The Northy to south Narrabeen stretch is getting the swell very nicely indeed. Northy had a good 30-40 people in the water when I checked about an hour ago. There were only a few down toward Gardens. Sets were solidly overhead and very clean looking. Definitely for experienced surfers only. If you aren’t pretty fit, you could run into problems pretty easily.

Around at Dee Why to Longy, the situation was not nearly as interesting. There are little waves as far north as about No Man’s, but the swell angle just has not worked for Dee Why (it rarely does). Some okay size and there are waves both at the point and in the corner. Size on the biggest ones I saw I was approaching head high.

I’m heading out with a camera or two to see if I can find any other pics for you today. Go well!
