Monday morning wrap
Hello Friends, Was out and about on errands this morning, and grabbed a few more snaps for the photo album. Pretty small and inconsistent everywhere, but for those with a measure of patience, there is the odd rideable one…
Freshy to Curly notes and pics
Ahoy al Had a look at Freshy and Curly around 0830-0930 this morning and grabbed you a few pics on the way through. Everywhere I looked was crowded from 0830. Hardly surprising given the glassy little waves and sunny skies. Fresh’s crowd had to put up with mostly shutting down, mostly waist high dribblers. Every […]
Manly to Curly
Hello Friends, Running a little late this morning. Sorry. Started my day by arriving at Manly around 0715. Quite a few folk in the water it has to be said, but then they weren’t there without reason because the SE swell is about 2 metres at sea with a period of close to 10 sec. […]
Midday round-up
Hello Friends, Sorry about the slow loading site today. Either we got a ton of traffic from someplace, or, what’s more likely, Don messed up and posted a stupid big picture… but we’re back now, so herewith a bit of a wrap on this morning’s proceedings. After posting my first report, I hoped into the […]
A choppy sea is all I see
Hello again Friends, You always hope to be wrong on morning’s like this. Maybe somewhere – against the odds – there will be something to tempt you in for a wave. Either all of Sydney needs a stoke boost, or it really is hopelessly awful. The easterly is just roughing up everywhere. And there isn’t […]
Along the beaches this am
Hi all, For those of you who haven’t checked out the video update, I’m here to tell ya that the general conditions are just as ordinary everywhere as I thought they might be when I filed my first report. That said, it is kind of weird how uncrowded everywhere was. Sure the conditions are maybe […]
Freshy to Gardens
Hello Friends, As promised, went out and about with the lens to see if I could get a few extra pics from this morning’s beach activity. First stop was Freshy where one guy was waiting a very long time for knee to waist high sets. He finally jagged one and I got the shot below: […]
This morning: Freshy
After checking out Manly, I headed over the hill to Freshy for a look. It turned out to be very crowded in the run up to 0900. There were reasonable size sets, but the waves seemed fat and slow for the most part and the smoothly groomed conditions of North Steyne were not in evidence. […]
Sunny morning in Sydney town
Hello Friends, Just back from a quick reccy along the Longy to Freshwater stretch. Such a beautiful morning to be out and about. Sparkling sunlight dancing on the water, cool offshore wind to remind us that the magic days of autumn are on the way. As the point picture posted earlier shows however, we’re in […]
