"Stay happy and you'll be perfectly fine" - Jack Norris

Huey deliveries the choccies

Plenty of Easter Sunday waves at Dee Why – and plenty of takers too! Occasional set waves on the point were head high, though for the most part it was more like chest high at 7am. Over at the beachie the size was perhaps a little more reliable and the crowds were already thick. Around […]

Windblown slop

North Narrabeen was offering nothing but windblown slop at 7am, under mostly grey skies.

Wind blown

A stiff onshore and brooding grey skies were making for less than pleasant conditions on the Sydney coast just after first light this morning. But there were some mushy, lumpy, small-to-moderate waves to be had. In fact, enough to tempt five surfers to paddle out at North Curly by 6.30am. But even in the northern […]

Crisp

There was a crisp feeling to the early morning air, to match the crisp new swell. It’s not huge, but set waves were about the 3ft range at Queenscliff – and could perhaps be a little bigger at spots more exposed to the south. Wind was light early and, if it stays that way, it […]

Flat and deserted

Torrential rain and a near motionless ocean meant that at 1.45pm at Dee Why there was nobody on the sand or in the water. That’s not something you normally see in summer! (Not that today seems like the summer we’ve been experiencing).

Only small

A hot night ensured Sydney’s beaches would be well attended from first light. But the swell remains small – as these pics from Queenscliff show.

Meagre offerings

Huey is once again dishing up only meagre scraps for Sydney surfers. At North Narrabeen there were 15-20 surfers out before 7am, battling to make something of the fat, scrappy burgers on offer under grey skies – before a shower passed through. This surfer did his best to make something from next to nothing.

A little something

About waist high at Queenscliff at 6.30am Wednesday, with a dozen punters on it. Wind was light onshore under grey skies. There was a larger contingent at North Steyne, despite size dropping as you moved further south.

Grovelly peaks

This surfer was making the best of some grovelly little peaks at North Narra this morning. There were dozen out at 6.30am, scrapping the crumbly, meagre offerings under grey skies.
