Hello Friends,
Swell still pushing along strongly from the east. As of start of play this morning, it was averaging around 2.5 metres with a very juicy mix of 12-14 second period components. Dee Why didn’t like the swell direction yesterday and it doesn’t like it this morning, but Northy is firing once again. Weirdly there are about 10 bazillion bods on it. Go figure. Meanwhile, down the beach at south Narrabeen, Huey’s scrapping sand with some hard to access barrels. A sole tow-in team had it to themselves.
Go to your favourite east swell spot today and be prepared to share because conditions are extremely attractive. One caveat: watch before you jump in because conditions are definitely not suitable for beginners or even at some spots, intermediates. There’s a lot of energy in those waves and it wouldn’t be too hard to get into a difficult situation if your skills are still developing.
I’m still processing images from yesterday’s shooting sessions at Northy, Mona and the Bower, but that won’t stop me from adding to the pile again today!
Outlook is for the waves to fade very gradually today but to still be pretty fun tomorrow. It looks as though we’re likely to get a fresh East Coast Low with potentially heavy south swell around mid-week – but it’s equally likely to be strongly onshore.
Don’t forget that two for the price of one coffee deal at Green Groper (2 Ocean St Narrabeen). Just tell ’em RealSurf sent you.
Go well and if you see me, say hi!
