Surfing with the dolphins.

The SE swell was a little bigger down at South Curly this afternoon. 3 – 4 foot but fairly bumpy. Wind from the south. I grabbed a few pics from a local school comp. Surf Photos of You.

Peaky NE 2 foot wind swell.

Yes its fairly bumpy and peaky as a result of the NE winds of late. Nothing strong enough to smooth it out. Bigger NE wind swell predicted for tomorrow. Enjoy. Surf Photos of You.

Sun and Surf (small)

Posted on November 28th, 2011 in Curl Curl.

There are some small waves around this morning. 1 – 3 foot at South Curly. There was a small crew enjoying the early morning sun. Enjoy. Surf Photos of You.

Just about flat everywhere

Posted on November 8th, 2011 in Big Picture, Curl Curl, Dee Why, Freshwater.

Hello Friends,

What a corker of a morning. Shame about the utter lack of waves.

Wandered around the joint for a look at the direness and I can tell you that you will need to ramp up the keeness to hysterical levels if you’re going to talk yourself into chasing waves. It looks like a pool most places, but there are a few tiny, weak little peaks flipping over something barely catchable. There was one such at Freshie, another at south Curly and possibly one way up the beach toward No Man’s on the Dee Why to Longy stretch. Bomb sets are maybe into the thigh high range.

Water seems to be warming up and we’re heading to a high of 29 with a 60% chance of a storm later.

Today’s run of the forecast interpretations contains little of hope for Sydney surfers. We’re looking at another week of these micro conditions – at least.

So, go for a swim or a wander along the beach, grab the snorkelling gear, wet a line, but don’t get too hopeful about carving across a clean wall any time soon.

Go well with your Tuesday!

There were a few waves at Curl Curl this morning. As we know its a swell magnet expecially n the SE swells. Around 2 – 4 foot and there is a few little peaks right along the beach. Wind out of the SW early forecast to turn more south to SE. Enjoy. Surf Photos of You for more pics.

Not today

Posted on October 11th, 2011 in Curl Curl.

Not much surfing will be done today. 1 foot with an early high and gusty SW wind. May be some thing happening tomorrow. Enjoy. Surf Photos of You.

Got it before it went.

South Curl Curl had a small fun little wave around lunch. With a strong offshore and the left over 2 foot NE swell, conditions were pretty good albeit tiny. There was a peaky weak left hander that was offering some fun for those that had an hour or two off work. Surf Photos of You.

Folks who surfed south Curl Curl Sat 3 Sept gallery

Posted on September 4th, 2011 in Click! Pics for folk, Curl Curl, Don's surfin' pics, Top stories.

The biggest problem with shooting surf pictures is that most people are totally unaware that I’ve taken their picture.

Like me, most folks probably assume that surf photographer on the beach is taking shots of someone else and not them!

So, I thought I’d grab cameos from my latest surf photography session at south Curly on Sat 3 Sept 2011 and post them here in the off-chance people will see themselves or a friend – and then go check out the complete gallery by clicking here!

Here’s a little highlights slideshow from Saturday morning…

PICS: Sat. morning at Sth Curly

Posted on September 4th, 2011 in Curl Curl, Don's surfin' pics, Top stories.

A small SSE swell of around 1.5-2 metres coincided nicely with an incoming tide at South Curly on Saturday morning and I was there with the camera.

I shot for about an hour between 0900 and 1000 from a spot about 100 m north of the South Curl Curl SLSC.

It was sunny, glassy and pretty busy in the water, but there were some fun chest to shoulder high set waves to be caught. Below is a slideshow of some of the better ones. You can jump to the complete gallery by clicking here.
