Tiny Monday morning

Hello Friends, As expected, this morning sees only tiny waves for the most part. Out at sea, the swell is a metre and coming from 162° at 8 seconds apart. Tide was low at 0610 and will be back to high at 1210. As of 0730 wind was WNW 12-16 kts. While there’s really not […]

Pics from Dee Why beach and Curly Sunday morning

Lots of swell and lots of people in the water on Sunday, so I went shooting in the morning. Herewith links to a couple of galleries… 89 pictures from Dee Why beach. Started shooting at 0955 went until 1005 (have more shots, but they’re not uploaded yet) Clicking here takes you to the gallery 120 […]

Shooting at Curly

Will take a few snaps at curly to share later. Sets in head to head plus range.

Curly no go

One person in the water at Curly as of 0900ish. Not really catchable.

Curly ruffled and tiny

Half a dozen in the water at the south end of Curly and 3 or 4 up at the north end. Sets are struggling to make the waist mark on sets. And those are very infrequent.

A quick Curly sesh

Curly around 0900

Roughly 130 people in the water from one end to the other at Curl Curl this morning. Quite consistent too. Waves often getting out but heaps of shoulder high sets in the mix. Surface a little ruffled out to sea but inshore was smooth in a light offshore under broken high overcast skies.

Curly showing

Pretty chest high sets at Curl Curl around 0830. Longish waits and rides very brief and slow due to tide filling in. Chilly offshore wind an issue but sure makes the takeoff look pretty
