Sat morning pics

Hello Friends, Got out and about with the camera this morning. Here are a dozen snaps mainly from Gardens, but including Curly and Longy too. Mostly shot between about 8-930 – just before Huey turned the power down. As of midday we’ve gone from SE at 1.5 metres at 9 seconds apart to 1.5m south […]

The early was on

Hey all, Just checked Collaroy-Narrabeen stretch and it is firing ahead of the southerly. I’m guessing around 150+ people are on it, but there are so many peaks that it could be twice that number and not be too crowded at any given place. This won’t last long, so I’d be getting to just about […]

Morning pic round-up: far north Collaroy etc

After getting out of the water at Dee Why, I made a loop via Edgecliff Blvd on Collaroy Plateau for a sort of big picture take on the Collaroy to Narrabeen stretch. Northy looked fairly depopulated through the binos. In fact there weren’t too many in the water along the entire stretch, and yet there […]

Wonderful Wednesday

RealSurf’s Don puts up a selection of pictures from an exceptional day of surf on Sydney’s northern beaches.

A few piccies

Made a quick circuit at around 0700. Looked amazingly uncrowded everywhere. What goes on?? Saw a surprisingly large set wave at Dee Why (see the pic), but I really can’t believe that is anything like the average size one. Everything else seemed to be closer to waist high. Speaking of which, there were a couple […]

Grey Monday

Grabbed a few pictures as soon as it got light enough… Swell is back to the ESE at a metre by 8sec. More thoughts later today. The Bureau says: Sydney Coastal Waters, Broken Bay to Port Hacking and 60nm seawards: Monday until midnight: Wind: E/SE 10/15 knots tending NE in the afternoon and reaching 15/20 […]

Hey, those look like little waves

Hello Friends, Happened by Gardens late this arvo and what do I see? Little waves. Fun little waves actually and amazingly, for a holiday weekend, not overly crowded either. Grabbed a snap with the Sony a900 I’m currently testing. Swell has gone around to the ENE during the day and is averaging about 1.5 metres […]

Whoops, dropped a fair amount

Hello Friends, Hmmm. Thought it would be bigger this morning. But it isn’t. You’re going to have to hunt around this morning. The Collaroy-Narrabeen stretch has two or three very small and inconsistent (but at 0700, glassy) peaks. Size is struggling to get to chest high on the takeoff before rapidly slumping to sup waist […]

Patience, waves will come

Hello again Friends, Well, I see the vid broadcast worked. Not a lot to add to that really. After filing from Longy, I went over to Curly for a look. It was a touch bigger than Long Reef and Dee Why, but it was quite full on the incoming tide. And of course, being a […]
