Bower and Manly

Manly surfers

Out shooting and had to make the Manly run so can report that there are people in the water at the bower, Queensie and the bombie. Not great quality at Bower as it’s sideshore and full. But sets solidly head plus. Queensie looked nuts. You could get a wave I’m sure, but I just saw […]

Still too big for Dee Why this morning

Hello Friends, Sorry no pics yet*. Dee Why is still way too big to surf. I’d say there were more lefts than rights coming into the point and the beach is just a relentless series of thundering closeouts in the  overhead range. Swell’s 2.5 metres from the SSE at 13 seconds. I’m off to have […]

Pictures from Northy this arvo

north narrabeen surfing

Hello late evening visitors… Struggling with a steampowered internet connection atm, so anyway, herewith a few snaps from this afternoon mainly at North Narrabeen but also down near Gardens. Northy was as good as I think I’ve ever seen it. Very heavy, very makeable and unbelievably consistent. I mostly shot video (lots to edit now), […]

Still big, but not stupid big

dee why surf

Hello Friends, Briskly offshore and mainly clear skies as Tuesday got started. Swell has come down into the 3 metre range at around 10 seconds apart. It’s a mix of south and easterly swells, so when they match up there are some shut the joint down sets at Dee Why. The medium size ones look […]

A wave at Northy

Light rain falling when I pulled up at Northy for a look. Very clean conditions and you could paddle into the medium size ones – unlike at Gardens. Might stick around a bit to see if I can get any more pics and maybe some vid

A few snaps from this morning

Hello Friends, Been out shooting this morning and am currently at south Narra/Gardens getting some vid o crazy tow-ins. Shot a bit of footage down at Queensie earlier and just generally had a look around. Only places I’ve seen people trying to surf were the Bower, Queensie bobbies, Gardens and Northy. Very clean and offshore […]

Pics.from the crows nest

Internet connection issues my end, so running late. Here are some pics for now. I plan to shoot a lot more so check back later! Needless to say, it’s still out of control huge and as we head up to high tide there will be more damage along the beaches. Back later with pics and […]

Sunday crazy

stormy

Hello Friends, Can’t see a thing from the RealSurf crows nest yet today. Got in the car and drove down to Edgecliff Blvd for an overview and grabbed a few pics from safely inside the car. Wind was east 30-40 kts and swell was who knows what – 4 to 5 metres maybe? You’d be […]
