Some solid sets this morning

We were seeing occasional faces into the 1.5x overhead range (on the bombs) this morning at the point. I picked up a shoulder high one with my GoPro rolling. As usual, the GoPro makes it look like knee high. Oh well! You get the idea sorta. Really pretty conditions but because it was one of […]

Pics and a vid on a rainy morning

Hello Friends, Shot some vid and a snap at Dee Why point in pouring rain. 20 people were on the point and when the sets rolled through it looked like serious fun – woofy water notwithstanding. Let the camera run a little longer than usual because this particular set kept going…

Dee Why point late Sunday morning

DY point surfer sunday morning

Checked Dee Why point just before noon – and a bout of rain – to see if I could get a video clip. Although there were occasional 1.5x overhead sets, the 20 or so people scattered along the point weren’t catching heaps of waves. I waited quite awhile to get the clip…

Saturday morning Dee Why vid

Wind lightly offshore, skies clear but high tide, and worse, next to no swell left over from yesterday. We’re told it’ll pick up substantially later today – but will the wind play nice…?

Long Reef bombies video minute

Swell was coming from the SE at up 1.8 metres and 13 seconds apart. The outside bombies were picking up the occasional set wave too.

Saturday very small but not quite absolutely flat (vid)

Hello Friends, Gotta be keen this morning. Waves were really tiny at Northy, Longy and Dee Why, but there were folks amongst ’em as the sun came over the horizon. Set wave faces were struggling to make the waist high mark, so you really wanted your floatiest wave tool. Although the MHL buoy was reporting […]

Manly and Northy (plus vid)

North Narrabeen as the wind started to build

At 0830 North Steyne looked the goods. Only four people in the water too. Of course you needed to be a very good female surfer to be in the group. High percentage of closeouts along the Manly stretch, but while it was afflicted too, North Steyne had the best waves I would see between Manly […]

A few waves in Manly this morning (vid)

North Steyne surfer

Paddled out at the Bower this morning on spec. My theory was that there might be the occasional solid set in the mix. Turned out that I was right. Water’s dropped several degrees too. Sets seemed to be getting a little more frequent as the morning went on – and the tide filled in. Biggest […]
