Peaky Head high.

With the constant NE wind last night there are some peaky head high waves at Northy this morning.  Good to see some swell at least.  Still a bit bumpy and very short period.  But fun.  Enjoy.  Surf Photos of You.

Not much going on

    Hello Friends, Dull and small around the place this morning. A 1.84 m high tide at 0710 and 15-20 kt SSE wind were doing a demolition job on the decaying south east wind swell. I didn’t see anyone in the water at Dee Why, nor on the Collaroy-Narrabeen stretch. Swell at sea is […]

Marginal – kinda like yesterday

Hello Friends, Not too fabulous looking this morning. There’s a short period little NE windswell flapping lightly as moth’s wing against the coast. The big ones are around waist high and you’re doing well if you can extract more than a couple turns before they fade away. Not much wind as the day got started, […]

Longy, Narrabeen both have a little something

Had a quick look around the traps this morning and found that there were waist to chest high sets at the Longy end of the Dee Why to Long Reef stretch. Over the hill to the north, there were also knee to waist high plus sets showing at south Narrabeen and maybe a touch bigger […]

Still some swell about

Hello Friends, Had an errand this morning that allowed me to check out a few extra beaches for you. Started at the Warriewood lookout and can tell you that there were a grand total of four people in the water from there to Mona Vale. Waves were in the knee to waist high range and […]

Huey running a little late this morning

      Hello Friends, Got up shortly after daybreak to see if the predicted swell had arrived. At first I was thinking it probably hadn’t. The MHL Sydney buoy wasn’t showing much difference in size over yesterday, but the period has kicked right up. And, when I first looked at it, Dee Why didn’t […]

Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-lat

  Hello Friends, Not much to say about Dee Why to Longy or the Collaroy Narrabeen stretches. It’s flat along both beaches – with the exception of a tiny, sub-knee-high peak at Northy. Conditions would be absolutely perfect if we had swell. Light offshore winds and a dropping tide from 0915 with sunny skies all […]

PICS by Don: Carparks, Narrabeen, Sunday crunch time

Coming back from a reccy up the peninsula, I decided on a whim to look at Northy. A single tow-in crew and a couple paddle-in riders were taking their chances in the board snapping barrels at Carparks, so I set up the camera and waited patiently for them to have a go… Click the pic […]

Another manic Sunday

Quick evening wrap for ya. Although mute with laryngitis , I wasn’t so out of it that I couldn’t take a few pictures earlier today. Started up at the Longy bombies. Although I shot a small gallery of pics (up by tomorrow), the quality wasn’t amazing really. People were sitting all the way out on […]

PICS by Don: Sunday, last of the swell at Manly and North Narrabeen

Sunday saw the swell swing a bit more to the SE as it began to fade. Still there were some magnificent waves to be had for the fortunate crew who were on them at Manly. I shot for an hour from near the North Steyne surfclub. Ended up with almost 400 shots of regular surfers […]
