Swell, swell, nor any face to surf
After leaving Warriewood, I stopped for a quick squizz at Collaroy. The swell is getting in there, but at high tide it was not all that impressive. Only a few people in the water and they were doing a fair amount of waiting for the occasional waist to chest high slop burger sets. It […]
Morning round up, part 1
Hello friends, A bit late I guess, but had to do a meeting and couldn’t really get to this until now. First stop on this morning’s round was Warriewood. The wind wasn’t really an issue there, and it seemed as though a bit of swell was getting in too. But the tide was a killer. […]
Wind builds, waves come?
Hello Friends, Spent a fair amount of time driving around this morning to get a good sense of the conditions. As I’ve already noted below, the conditions are pretty similar to yesterday, but maybe a touch better. There just seem to be a few more waist high sets, and it looks like slightly more of […]
Midday update
Getting on toward lunch time and the expected wind has arrived in Sydney. It’s 25-30 kts from the SSE now, but a couple hours ago, while it was still a zephyr, I joined a few others down near Marquesas for some high tide silliness. Set waves were maybe chest high on take off, […]
Late arvo surprise
Hello Friends, Spent most of the day wrangling computers, then at dusk decided to get out for a walk – only to discover that there were some quite reasonable looking peaks popping up along the beach from about Marquesas down to Flight Deck. Didn’t have my binos with, so couldn’t really see what the situation […]
Mid-arvo pictures
Hello Friends, I’ve been out and about with my trusty Nikon D70s. In this post, I’ll share a few snaps I got at The Kick, Brownwater and Manly. I’ve also created separate posts for some shots I grabbed at the Bower and early on at south Narrabeen.
A few snaps from 0900
Wandered down for a look at the beach. Surprisingly clean along the Collaroy stretch, but no one in the water. North of Collaroy the size picks up quite a bit, but at Collaroy proper the sets are rolling in and closing out or sectioning all over the place. The Kick looked the best of the […]
Snaps from Sunday
Hello Friends, Just went through the memory card from this morning’s shooting efforts. Once again I ended up shooting at Dee Why because it was the first place I saw photogenic waves. There was still some size around this morning, but despite the 10 sec average period, it seemed just a little slow. Saw quite […]
Sat am pics
Wandered down to the point for a closer look. One guy was in the water, but it looked like an awful lot of work for big, lumpy and weird waves. Biggest sets were into the double overhead range, but the point really wasn’t working terribly well. And the air was bitterly cold! Went up to […]
Swell, we got swell
Hello Friends, Swell seems to have hit the peak overnight, but it’s still solid this morning at spots that like dead south. Once again it looks like the quality wave between Dee Why and Little Narra is at Dee Why point. And being a bright, sunny Sunday morning, there are more than a few folks […]
