Right Bank Right Set
Big congrats to Don for exceeding his crowd funding target and thanks to all those RealSurf supporters. The surf today still looked like that E/NE stuff we have had over the last few days but MHL shows the energy has shifted to the south. Might explain why the north end seemed to have more bigger […]
Crowdfunding success and tiny waves
Hello Friends, After two months, the crowdfunding drive finished early this morning with $12,759 due to arrive in the RealSurf revamp and development account in about a week. And, we have another $1000 coming our way from the good folks at The Perfect Wave, so the final tally will be $13,759. An incredibly successful, gratifying […]
Tiny waves for the last day of crowdfunding
Hello Friends, Well, our two month campaign is into its final hours. It finishes at 0100 tomorrow morning, so if you’ve been sitting on the sidelines, the time has come to join the more than 200 Friends of RealSurf who’ve already made their pledges. It’d be great to finish up what has been a very […]
Another Warm One
Not quite the quality we’ve had in the last morning or two but if that hot wind comes through from the north then mid morning might see some nice 2ft+ waves as the tide comes in as well. Hot one so a great day to be cooling off and not watching your house burn down […]
Rippage
It was nice to finally gets some fins flying, lip bashing and general rippage in the photos today. Gets a bit old school surfing at Manly at times. Where have all the dawn rippers gone? Leftover 2-3ft NE windswell with despite the south wind was creating some fun sections and the odd cover up on […]
Grey skies
Hello Friends, I need to lead off with some sad news. A dear friend in California is very ill in hospital and there is a possibility that I may need to fly up there this week. So I’ve decided to postpone Don’s Surf Party until I know where things are at. It will definitely happen, […]
My Mistake
Monday had some really fun looking glassy NE peaks. I actually got up at dawn for it and thought it wasn’t that great and crawled back into bed. My mistake I think! Mark – Surfboards Direct
Smoky not smoking
Hello Friends, Visibility at 0700 was less than 2 km because of the severe bush fire smoke pollution. It’s going to be a very tough day for people battling respiratory issues and of course a very frightening day for our fellow Australians near the fires. According to the latest MHL data, we have 7 second […]
Typical Sunday
One of those typical Manly beach Sundays. Busy, sunny, onshore but surfable small waves. Learners take your best surfboard for learning and get down there. Chargers…ummm..find a sheltered NE corner and good luck. High tide 9:45am. NE supposed to pick up strong. Mark – Surfboards Direct
Not flat, full, but not flat
This morning I wrote: Hello Friends, A metre or so combo of east and residual south east swell this morning is delivering the odd chest high wave face for the weekend warriors at Dee Why this morning. Of course mostly it’s smaller than that. Tide’s just tipped past the high as I write this a […]
