Woohoo, little waves about
Posted on December 6th, 2009 in Dee Why.Hello Friends,
Hope you got up for the early, ’cause contrary to expectations, there are actually some fun looking waist to chest high plus sets to be had. It’s pretty busy at Dee Why (hardly surprising on a mild and sunny Sunday morning!) and I imagine that will be much the same issue elsewhere.
Swell seems to be around to the ese (the MHL buoy is off the air, so no objective data for now). And speaking of off the air, we seem to have a technical issue with images, so no pics from me for now.
I’m off to Manly soon to help out on the Surfrider northern beaches stall at Ocean Care Day. Stop by and say hi if you’re in the neighborhood.

Posted on December 6th, 2009 in Surf Reports.on saturday at 3 pm: under one foot, and sloppy – just stirring at our rivermouth point, with steady, tiny, soft bowls and shoulders around the point – i was updated by a co-owner of the smashing new establishment Chompa Chomp, in the downtown core of our rivermouth point (pop. approx. 50, increasing with wave size) – i was assured that one surfer stopped in today, saying that he had surfed chickens at the lost village beach, another 1/2 hour further up the straits, towards open ocean – but there were plenty of riders yesterday – look like 1 – 3 foot at cox beach, tofino, around 130km hence, at sunset – at the la perouse bank weather buoy, waves were 1.0 – 1.5 metres today, compared to 2.0 – 2.5 yesterday – clear and cold – expect new swell any day, down our way – please stay tuned …. twitter mercuryloge
Small and getting colder
Posted on December 6th, 2009 in South Carolina.The 2 foot mark with NE winds will not be worth trying since the chop will mess with what ever wave your longboard could find. Things have a chance to improve by mid week, but the water temp should be dropping under 60 degrees very soon with the cold air now in place.

NE'r into it, but if you're keen...
Down at Manly in the Surfrider stall, listening to Mic Conway do his playing rubbish act. Musical toothpaste boxes, who knew. Meanwhile, in the background the sparkling sea and crowded sand. Tis a lovely day, no question about it.
The NE’r is well and truly up now, but there are still some little onshore high tide waist to chest high junk burgers if you’re keen, and the water is looking very inviting.
At the Surfrider stand we’ve got another fundraiser guessing comp. going again. Sort of our version of a cake stall. One of our number picked up a buncha ciggie butts from the beach and put ‘em in a jar. For $2 you guess how many and if you’re right, you get a handy board stand from solid racks.
Of course we’ve also got information about Surfrider northern beaches campaigns and even a petition on the seawall issue (it hasn’t gone away).
I’m gonna be hanging around the stall until 3ish, so stop by and say hi if you’re in Manly.

Posted on December 6th, 2009 in Surf Reports.Just putting it out there to the Real Surf community. Does anyone know people in Sydney region that are from the Basque region in Northern Spain. Need some travel info about the area? Contact Matt at ms2007@bigpond.com
2-3 feet of full 10 sec swell from the SE
Posted on December 6th, 2009 in Curl Curl, Surf Reports.It’s 2-3 feet with light onshores with swell and wind from the SE. Get in early cos it’s filling up quickly with a high tide around 12-ish. Not too crowded. Cracker day at the moment- enjoy.
And the Stoke Goes On (HMB Jetty)
Posted on December 6th, 2009 in California, Half Moon Bay, Surf Sessions. I was getting the shivers just thinking about how cold the air and water would be at the Jetty this morning, both near 50 degrees (10 C). But it wasn't so bad in my 5/4 wetsuit with integral hood, new gloves and thick booties.A really, really huge swell is forecast for next week; there's talk of possibly holding the Mavericks big wave contest on Tuesday. We'll see if this swell lives up to the hype, but there may be no water-time for the rest of us ordinary surfers until next weekend.
A Week Of Sundays, In Byron Bay Today’s Weekend Review

The winds blew from the south almost all week, which is pretty much unheard of at this time of year. We had good swell, clean lines and radical crowds at one particular spot. Take it easy guys we’ve got a long hot summer to get through yet. Lets’ not burn ourselves out too early. The towns been packed with schoolies, the majority of whom have been well behaved. If not, just a little overly enthusiastic on their wave count. Ease up kids, Gordon Gecko had it arse about, greed ain’t good. We’ve had some really joyous beach breaks, in fact better than the points and utterly empty. Plus sunsets that were to die for. If you then add to the mix some glorious weather and crystal clear waters. You’ve got a pretty fair idea of this week as we got to see it in Byron Bay. Looking back on a week with so much beauty and many unridden waves just going begging, I can only come to one conclusion. We’ve still got it really good here and would be wise have gratitude for that fact, In Byron Bay Today.
