Hi all,

Needed to run an errand around midday so I grabbed the Nikon D3 and the big 200-400mm zoom as I headed out the door. First stop was Curly. I set up the rig at about the mid point on the beach. The good news is that we definitely have waves at exposed spots like Curly. Sets were into the shoulder high range, although mostly it was a lot smaller than that. Quite a wait for the bombs actually. Wind was still offshore and the cloud was just starting to arrive from the west. Waves looked kinda weak it has to be said, but I don’t think you’d have had too many complaints from those in the water.

I shot for maybe 15 minutes (I’ll put all the pics up on my site later) before deciding to take off over the hill to see what was what at Dee Why.

Near head-on in the shorey at Dee Why around lunchtime.

Very soft at the point but great for mals when a bomb set came through.

Dee Why was quite a bit smaller. I thought there might’ve been something up toward Longy givent the swell direction, but whilst I was watching, I saw no sign of anything about chest high at best. The south end of the beach was around the same size. The weakness evident at Curly was more pronounced though, so the waves had that kind of slow quality. The point was basically flat between sets, but I did see a couple waves that would’ve been fun on my mal.
