Coming home, loose-lipped from the dentist, swung by Dee Why for a quick look. Wind had actually backed off a bit and the swell was producing the occasional head plus bomb. So, I grabbed you another single-take sequence off the point…

Dark grey skies and chop-inducing light easterly onshore with a high tide at North Steyne this morning when I stopped to shoot a video minute.

Stopped by North Curly for a look at the waves around midday and grabbed a little clip for you. It was small, but reasonably consistent despite being somewhat fat and weak. Here’s the clip… As I was about to pull out of the parking lot, I spotted this healthy blue tongue making his(?) way north. […]
