A selection of shots from Sunday messiness
Hello Friends, Had a look at the south end of Manly and the Bower and then stopped by Whiterock and Collaroy to see if anything was surfable. I guess if you’re super keen there are junk burgers to be had, but for the less motivated it looks like a great day to catch up with […]
PICS by Don: The Kick and Collaroy Wed 18 May
After shooting the big stuff at Dee Why and Long Reef, I went around the corner to see if anything was getting into Collaroy. Sure enough, there were waves. They weren’t very big, but every now and then something kind of interesting came through the Kick. So I shot folks having fun until I filled […]
Southern ends only.
The good thing about this strong southerly we have at the moment is that it will spike the swell up for a period, be it only short. The wind is expected to ease Saturday as is the swell. Its southern ends only. There is a small wave down at Collaroy. It may get bigger with […]
The Kick at Collaroy
The Kick at Collaroy which maybe the only place rideable this morning. About 3 – 4 foot.
Size but…
Hello Friends, Went out for a look around once I had the light. The numbers look up okay – east swell, 3 metres at an average of 9 seconds – and the wind’s not going too hard. But… the surface is still lumpy, the swell isn’t lining up too well at all. Despite the energy […]
A bit disappointing
Hello Friends, Had one of those days when I just couldn’t reconcile my hopes with the reality. You know the deal I’m sure. Looked at Dee Why point, Collaroy, the Bower and Manly. None could persuade me to pull on the wetty. It was a funny sort of day. There were waves around and in […]
Collaroy
Still a bit messy but some size to it. The pics make it look better than it actually is… Tomorrow prob be improved. Wind howling at 30+ knots from the SW, gusts to past 40. I’d give it a miss today.
Out and about on a swell day
Hello Friends, Bit of a mixed bag this morning. I started my survey of options with a visit to Manly. Not many in the water along the beach but looked like a fair few at the Bower early. Beachy was producing some very, very nice looking set waves, but you’d be doing a bit of […]
Dusk drive-about
Hello Friends Decided to do a quick survey of a few nearby beaches before it got dark. First stop was Mactier street to see if anything was showing along the Collaroy-Narrabeen stretch. Twas very small along the Gardens to Collaroy zone. Only saw one person in the water, and they didn’t manage to latch on […]
Looks solid on Coll-Narra
Watched Coll-Narra stretch for awhile this morning, took some pics, but due to glitch, can’t upload them until later. Very heavy at Gardens, heaps in at Northy, with wave faces ranging from head high to well overhead. More approachable down at Collaroy where sets aren’t much above the shoulder high range. That’d be one of […]
