Micro Wednesday in Sydney
POSTCARD FROM CALI: The Pit, Santa Barbara CA, around midday. Gutless windswell with occasional moments of semi-speed. Hello Friends, Looking at Sydney via the WRL cam shot this morning, I can see that exactly as foretold in the forecast, there is next to nothing going on. What little energy there is, is coming from the […]
Postcard from Cali & a few thoughts on Sydney surf prospects
Hello Friends, Sorry about the silence from your humble servant. I’m back on the other side of the planet again on family business. Looks like you’ve had nice little waves in Sydney, but I’m thinking from the look of the WRL cam at south Narra, it’s not going to be too red hot today for […]
Postcard from micro Malibu
A day spent driving that took me past Malibu… (Below: SUP riders poking around at ankle high Malibu.) (Below: the pier at Malibu) (Below: odd scene in Oxnard south of Ventura)
Postcard from Cali: little in Santa Barbara too
Hello Friends, After looking at the MHL data for Sydney this morning (1 metre of 5 sec period south wind chop) and the BoM’s wind report (15-20 kts of SSE), I was unsurprised to see it looking pretty paltry on the cams. Looks like an excellent day to get some work done. You might want […]
Postcard from Cali: fading west wind swell
Hello Friends, Your jet-lagged correspondent had the opportunity to see beaches from Malibu to north of Rincon this morning and can report that it was mostly waist high to smaller along much of the coast as a little west wind swell ebbs away. Water was brown most places thanks to 50mm of rain a couple […]
Postcard from Sawtell
Barry, aka The Beach Defender of HPFM was in Sawtell this morning. He tells me he grabbed the shot in a rare sunny break between the showers…. looks pretty tasty… He said there were about half a dozen in the water and that sets were into the shoulder high range. Lucky pups!
Postcard from Tim
Surf film shooter Tim Bonython sent us this from yesterday at Kirra. Cyclone Vania may have been pretty tame down this way, but look at those lines… and just imagine if they were makeable when they hit the point… there’d be a zillion keen surfers all over ’em!
Postcard: Eukai Beach yesterday
Tim Bonython’s on the North Shore for the start of the season and he sent us a little postcard…
Postcard from Redhead
Hello Friends, Had an opportunity to tag along on a run to lovely Newcastle this morning. Didn’t take the board because I figured it would be pretty tiny. And it was along the steel city’s beaches as it turned out. On the way back, we went out to Redhead for a look. I’ve never checked […]
Postcard from Boomerang
To be filed under really annoying messages from friends who could go on surfari when you couldn’t… Mid North Coast tally ho!: The ENE swell continues to hang in there. We just surfed a left for a couple of hours in the Boomerang Beach area (near an iconic headland and an easy paddle out). Very […]
