Do something else day
Hello Friends, A grim morning from a surfing perspective. Wind was blowing hard from the SSE early, so the only hope is really protected corners like Collaroy. Unfortunately, as the pictures show, there’s not enough swell energy from the right direction to light the place up. Instead it was weak, confused and small. The […]
Not amazing at Northy
Inconsistent and surprisingly weak looking at North Narrabeen where a small crowd is hanging around waiting for the odd shoulder high wave face to turn up. Rides were short and you had to work to stay in the section.
Swell continues on Monday
Hello Friends, After peaking late yesterday evening at around the 2 metre mark out at sea, this morning sees it dropping back to 1.7 m at 12 sec from the south and NE. Surface conditions were relatively smooth early thanks to a light easterly breeze. It should go SE later and pick up into the […]
Sizable sets this morning
Hello Friends, Had a look around at about 0700 this morning to see what the swell was doing. It’s an interesting mix of south and NE energy. Wave faces on the sets are solidly overhead. I’d call it 1.5x. The problem is that the swell is mature and that means the beach break options […]
A few piccies from Curly around midday
Curly was about the cleanest looking spot I saw this morning – radically better than the slop fest I enjoyed with three others at the point an hour before. Even so, Curly was pretty weak looking and kinda fat. Lovely day though and good to be in the water.
Some swell, some wind
Hello Friends, Nothing like as big as most of the models predicted this morning. But the swell’s definitely picking up and the cyclone is still out there pushing the energy our way. Surface conditions were junky and choppy from first light thanks to a steady ENE breeze. It was blowing about 5-10 kts when I […]
0830 looking fun – with waits
Got a park at Queensie and grabbed some snaps for you. Swell quite inconsistent but North Steyne was picking up head high sets between the lulls. Nothing showing at the Bower and Queensie end touch smaller than middle of beach.

Dee Why junky but bigger than it’s been
Stopped by Dee Why around 1015 and grabbed the pics below. SSE wind is light but it was starting to really mess things up. I’m waiting for the tide to drop, but am wondering if it’ll be worth it by then.
Bigger lumps at Curly
Half a dozen chasing shories in the middle of the beach at Curly. Wind not going strong but it was very lumpy and messy looking. The plan was to risk life and limb on the inside where the slop briefly transformed into chest plus crunchers as it unloaded on the banks. Definitely more energy and […]
