Hello Friends,
Went out for a look around this afternoon, but didn’t see anything to tempt me into the water. However, I got a few pictures to share.
First stop was Mona Vale where I thought I might see if anything was happening at the basin. My hunch was right and there were a few bodyboarders risking life and limb taking off in the shories. Nothing there for us standups. And it really wasn’t all that consistent. Fairly long waits for ones worth taking off on. Still, managed to get a shot of a guy pulling into an ugly one…
Whizzed back south past a completely messy and basically unsurfable Warriewood. Had a look at Northy and down toward Gardens. Not many people out at the former, but there was a good reason. It was really soft and fluffy and weak, despite the okay size. One or two people managed to jag okay sets, but for every one of those there were three really ordinary gutless lumps caught. And as at the Basin, it wasn’t that consistent. The picture below makes it look way better than it was…
From there I headed on to have a look at the old Collaroy. Sadly it was so dire that so far as I could tell, no one was in the water. More weak, scudding messiness basically.
My final stop was at Longy where I spotted a few folks messing about in the beachy inside from the bombies. Quality was on a par with Northy, so nothing much to write home about. Again, if you were in the right spot and got lucky, you could get a bit of a section, but the waits were plentiful. From the look of the beach, there must be a fair number of bluebottles about too…
I didn’t drive down to look at Dee Why, but through the telephoto it looked as though there was a small crowd catching the odd makeable one…
