Winding down, but not gone
Posted on June 26th, 2009 in At large, Dee Why, Gardens, North Narrabeen.Hello Friends,
Did the Collaroy Plateau ridge run for a quick survey of the swell status. There seems to be some NE left in the tank, but it’s mainly showing at the really exposed stretches. For instance, there are waves up at Northy, but they’re smaller and less consistent looking compared to the chest high sets getting into Gardens.
Around at the Longy to Dee Why stretch, the same phenomenon is visible, but it’s a bit smaller. There is a small south line showing at Butterbox and weakly at Longy, but it’s too marginal to have attracted any punters. The bulk of people in the water this morning were down the south end of the beach, picking over the odds and sods popping up in the general vicinity of the SLSC. A couple of folks on longer equipment were poking around at the point for something catchable.
Wind was not a factor for the early and the tide was benign as well.
Have posted all yesterday’s watershots from Dee Why point on my site.
Sydney Coastal Waters, Broken Bay to Port Hacking and 60nm seawards:
Friday until midnight: Wind: W/NW 10/15 knots, tending N/NW.Sea: to 1 metre.Swell: E/NE 1 to 1.5 metres.
Saturday: Wind: W/NW 5/15 knots, turning S/SW 10/20 knots. Sea: to 1 metre. Swell: E/NE to 1 metre.
Sunday: Wind: S/SW 15/25 knots.
Basically the only option along the stretch.
...but they sure look good doing it.
Fair number of folk hanging around for sets like this.
Haven't run a shot from Longy for awhile... here's why.
Looks better for wetting a line at Butterbox.

It was a Pastel kind of day, In Byron Bay Today. Pastel? I here you say. Well let me try to explain. There were waves, but they were a little weird. There was no rain, but it wasn’t sunny. There were clouds but it wasn’t grey. There was light but it wasn’t bright. It was quiet beautiful day yet a little eerily reminiscent of nineteenth century impressionism art. That is of course if you exclude the people with surfboards and cars getting around the place. There were waves to be had, and occassionaly it looked good and felt kinda fun and then again it didn’t quite really do it. The swell was a little wobbly the sand is on the move yet again. It was nice and uncrowded and there were moments when it double sucked and got funky. But it was all just a bit weird, In Byron Bay Today.
