Sunday Sessions: Dee Why and Sth Narra

Spent Sunday morning shooting first at Dee Why (covering mainly the beach, but also the point) and then at South Narrabeen (from a spot roughly a block north of the Sands). Swell was pushing in from the SE at around 11 seconds apart and 2.5 metres. Both spots were very crowded. Crazily so in my […]

Finally some sun.

The sun has finally come out so I grabbed a few of Dee Why Point this morning.  See more  at SPoY

Lookin’ good

Hello Friends, Early risers scored at Dee Why this morning. Skies were mostly clear, wind was lightly offshore and the swell was coming in from 140-degrees (SE) at 2 metres and nearly 11 seconds apart. This meant chest to shoulder with the odd solidly overhead bomb at 0715. Tide was coming in off the low […]

Thumping Dee Why pics

A few snaps from the madness at Dee Why point this morning. The wind decided not to go onshore, but instead swung SW and the SE swell though down a bit from earlier, was still 3.6 metres at 11 seconds on the MHL buoy. Tide was making it relatively fat and the rawness of the […]

Churning Saturday start

Hello Friends, Ocean was a heaving mess at 0700 thanks to nearly 5 metres (!) of very raw looking 12 sec period SE swell and 20-25 kts of SW-SSW wind. The ocean was an unpleasant colour under dull grey skies and the odd spit of rain. Not surprisingly nobody was in the water that I […]

East.

As expected there are some waves hitting our shore at the moment.  Swell direction is east and its about 4 – 5 foot on the open facing beaches.  Some nice ones early.  See more at www.surfphotosofyou.com.au.

Hints of possibilities

Hello Friends, Another day dominated by southerly wind coming up. Swell was out of the east at 0700. Out at sea it was showing 2.8 metres on average with a period of 11 seconds. Inshore the ocean wasn’t quite as beat up as yesterday, but it’s still pretty messy looking and the ocean is the […]

Another morning of stormy seas

Hello Friends, Swell was nearly 3 metres from the east at 12 seconds apart this morning. Unfortunately as the forecasters warned, we have 15-20 kts of south wind tearing it to bits. Heavy rain overnight has given the inshore waters an unhealthy pallor. Yesterday Freshy, North Curly and Collaroy were all likely to have been […]

Too stormy

Hello Friends, Steady 15-20 kts of easterly wind is tearing Dee Why up as the morning session got underway. There’s a caution for “large and powerful surf conditions” from the Bureau and as of 0600 swell was averaging 3 metres from the east at a touch over 10 seconds apart. Water conditions are pretty ordinary, […]
