Cool visualisations
It can be a challenge to get one’s head around how quickly the coronavirus is spreading. Here are a couple visualisations I’ve come across that may help ‘visual’ learners like myself… and, Don’t wait to be told, minimize your exposure to others by only going out when absolutely essential.
Alert In response to new measures introduced by the State Government that limit the number of people on any beach to 500, some beaches and harbour pools are closed until further notice. This is to encourage appropriate social distancing (1.5m between people) and to reduce the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19). Northern Beaches Council COVID-19 pages. […]
Beautiful Sunday morning at Dee Why
Hello Friends, 14 seconds, 1.7 metres, 166° – adding up to glassy waist to chest high fun ones for Dee Why surfers. People looked to be maintaining distance (easy when surfing), which is a good thing. Wind was light and tide was just past the 0810 high so conditions were coming together nicely. Going to […]
Weak, small but sort of surfable
Hello Friends, Breeze was light as of 0700 and waves were in the knee to waist high range thanks to the 1.7 metre, 7 second south wind bump. First tide of the daylight hours is the high at 0730. Water is around 21C and quality should not be a problem. Wind was out of the […]

Swell jumped today

So, climbed up to the crowsnest and grabbed a few shots to share… Conditions looked pretty setty when I watched and the north wind […]

Waves on tap for those able
Hello Friends, Hope you’e well this morning. Keep washing those hands, coughing into your sleeves, maintaining space, avoiding crowds (second nature for surfers!) and don’t touch your face.
