Back in business
Posted on July 24th, 2009 in Big Picture.Hello Friends,
Surfaced around 0300 to sound of the sea a km away. Checked buoy data: swell had popped up to 4-6 m at 8sec. Fell back asleep. Just going out for closer look now that it’s getting light. Will try to fire up a live post (see bottom right of page for link) and to get some pics to share later.
Looks like swell’s peaked, but still okay size out there.

Byron Bay Today July 23rd 2009
Posted on July 24th, 2009 in Byron, Just for fun, Local Colour, Surf Reports.
- The crews turning up for Slendour in the Grass, In Byron Bay Today.
Town started filling up for Splendour, In Byron Bay Today. There’s young crew everywhere and it’s only just begun, but hey that’s cool folks got to have some fun. Now we managed to sniff out a few little waves today and hallelujah we even managed time for a few slides ourselves. There was a small increase in the northeast windswell today, but not quite enough to get really excited about. However it was enough to bring some little peaks to life around the place and the crew were quick to jump it. Can’t blame them really, we’ve been a bit wave starved this week. Speaking of the surf, we spotted a little shark in the bay today. Hardly surprising really, there’s been trawlers drifting around the bay for weeks now. There have been a lot of birds at work and dolphins hunting too. Or to put it simply, there’s been heaps of fish, it only stands to reason that a Noah or two would show up sooner or later. So take easy folks, no need to alarmed, but don’t be silly either. You wouldn’t try to stare down a wild lion, so don’t try to out cool a shark, if you spot one, get out of the water for a few minutes. Give it time to move on, it’s the fish, not you that’s its prey. Acknowledge the Noahs for what they are, if you happen to see one, In Byron Bay Today.

Posted on July 23rd, 2009 in At large, Curl Curl, Dee Why.
One of the more attractive ones at mid Curly earlier today.
Some of 'em got going over the inside banks.
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.
Finally!
Posted on July 23rd, 2009 in South Carolina.Amazing how sometimes it all comes together. Thursday -Saturday is looking good with light winds from the West no less. Plus a 3+ bump starting Thursday and peaking Saturday at 4 feet. Odd part of the equation is the high astronomical tides. Thursday morning will be high at 9:00 am and low at 3:30 pm. You will need to go out very early say 6:00 am to catch the best time or wait till mid day since the winds should remain off shore and under 12 mph. It all sounds so great, I can’t wait.

There’s actually some waves every now and then!
Posted on July 23rd, 2009 in Curl Curl, Surf Reports.The high tide is killing it but there were actually some 2-3 foot sets every 10 minutes or so earlier this morning on a long period out of the dead south with offshore winds. Absolutely flat in between sets. There was a bit of a wait but well worth it for the 3 blokes having a plug this morning. Swell is due to increase with a southerly change overnight and into the weekend then die off with a new south swell due mid next week. Enjoy.

Posted on July 23rd, 2009 in Surf Reports.Flat, like yesterday. A crew at NN are catching waist-high rights
more of the same
Posted on July 23rd, 2009 in Manly.Well well well Its not too far different to yesterday although if you wanted to get picky you could argue that there is a little more swell today than yesterday but in reality its still essentially flat. Conditions are perfect once again just no swell. Looks like we have some on the way though so make sure you get all your chores done in advance.
