Happenings Next Weekend, In Byron Bay Today’s Weekend Review.

Yes folks its true there was not a lot happening over the last week in Byron Bay. But there are some events that are well worth taking note of for next Saturday the 22^nd in the bay. For those into photography and music, there will be an exhibition up at The Top Shop. Some featured shutter bugs will be George Greenough, Matty Yates & Justin Crawford, with live music by Josh Hamilton from 11am till1pm. Also on the same day at the Byron Bay Community centre. Andrew Wells from Grown surfboards will be teaching his handicraft in a wooden surfboard workshop. This will happen between 4-5pm you don’t want t miss that. Last but certainly no least, Saturday the 22^nd is the Byron Breast Cancer Day running at Railway Park in town from 10am till 2pm. There will be some entertainment, music, talks Yoga etc. This is an important charity fundraising event. To be honest it’s probably going to need some extra support, so if you can get on over to it as well, while all the other exciting stuff is going on, that would be way cool, In Byron Bay Today.   

PICS: North Narrabeen 0915-1020 Sun 30/1

There are 160 more snaps from this session in my new gallery. As usual they’re all for sale. Just click on the pic you’re interested in when you get to the galleries and then look top left for the price options.

Such a beautiful morning in Sydney. I considered my options and, since the swell was tending east, I figured at a metre or so and about 11 seconds apart, that my nearest option would be North Narrabeen. So I grabbed the gear and headed down. As you might expect on a warm summer Sunday morning with shoulder to head high sets, the old Northy was damn busy. Taking a punt that there might be waves for the late, I decided to take pictures instead.

It was reasonably consistent, but even during the hour and a quarter I was taking pictures, you could see the energy levels were decreasing. The sea breeze came up pretty quickly as well, so when it began to ruffle things up, I headed for the exit. Drove down to Long Reef, Dee Why and Curly for a look, but everyone in Sydney was looking for a park and the waves were not getting any better. Oh well, at least I got a few pics…

Pics from Thursday: North Narrabeen

After lunch I wandered over to North Narrabeen to see what was what. There were small waves from about the Pines all the way to the Alley. A bunch of bodyboarders were looking to get smashed near carparks, while up at Northy things were slightly less hectic for the small crowd. As with Curly, the waves weren’t much to write home about, but the lack of wind meant people could enjoy some soft, glassy little peaks that very occasionally produced a mildly interesting section.

I grabbed a few piccies, so check ‘em out below…

Pics: Dee Why point watershots, Sunday

After running an errand or two, I checked out beaches from Manly to Dee Why. Ended up paddling out at the point in sideshore, but sunny conditions. A few fun size sets came through and I grabbed some shots with my trusty Panasonic FT-1…

The Sunday Post – 07.02.10

How about all this swell eh?! Hard to believe it’s summer but it’s certainly welcome. And it was keeping everyone happy at Manly on Saturday morning as it was cleaner than most other places but still had a lot of size and energy to it. And because of that there were a lot of smiles on every punters’ face as there were plenty of rides around.

Dee Why Point on Sunday morning was still delivering some good sized waves but there was a bit of jostling for position on practically every wave I saw come through with two riders/wave being the average. Anyway, there were waves, the rain stopped for awhile and the sun came out briefly so it was all good in the end.

Todays’s pics can be found here: http://www.wozthatyou.com/portfolio85508.html

And Saturday’s here: http://www.wozthatyou.com/portfolio85505.html

I have included some wind and kite surfers going for it off Longy Point so if you know everyone who does either let them know!

Hope you had a good one.

And thanks for visiting the site. It’s about to reach a bit of a milestone over the next week and a bit – 1,000,000 page views! Couldn’t have done without you!

Cheers,

Summercloud Bay gallery

Fading, but still intense, south swell with strong NE winds made for an attractive combo. It was extremely crowded (30+) at Aussie Pipe, but shooting conditions were great.
