The light wasn’t the best, the surface conditions were pretty beat up, but there were some very crunchy low tide sections to be had at North Narrabeen late Wednesday afternoon. There were a heap of Pro Junior competitors out too, so despite the less than optimal conditions, I shot over a hundred pics.

After weeks we finally get a little SE pulse with nice picture taking weather. I decided to check the situation at Manly and discovered there were some fun looking glassy peaks sliding in on the peaking tide. Heaps of folks were on it – which I love when I’m shooting – and while there was something of a wait between the sets, I still managed to fang off several hundred shots of regular folks catching nice waves.
As usual all these shots are for sale to raise funds for a new, even groovier lens and other photo gear I couldn’t otherwise afford. So, if you see a mate’s picture, let ‘em know! And just to kick things on in that regard, tell them to enter the code HAPPYSURF (just like that) when they get to the check out stage, and it’ll take 33% off the order price (this promo code expires 31/1/2011). Oh yeah, and to get a particular pic, just click on it and then look top left for where it says “Buying Options”.
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…

Spent close to an hour taking snaps down at Curl Curl this morning. Waves weren’t exactly spectacular, being a bit on the fat and slow side thanks to the high tide and weakening south east wind swell. But the forecast wind didn’t turn up, so the 20-30 people splashing around on the banks in the middle of the beach were at least getting glassy lumps.
After I ran out of memory cards, I headed for home to process the pics and get them online.

Saturday morning saw a couple metres of south swell with a period of about 10 seconds lighting up beaches around Sydney. South Narrabeen was looking tasty early with offshore conditions. I ended up shooting until the wind started to hack it up at mid-morning. As always, I tried to get shots of anyone who caught a wave – and to make them look good doing it! And as usual, all pic sales go to my lens and camera upgrade fund – so I can take even better pictures in future!
It was Saturday 20 Feb at around 330pm when I rocked up to see if anyone was having fun in the small conditions at Curly. Sure enough, there were heaps of weekend warriors chasing the cute little waist to chest high peaks. Light was perfect for picture taking, so I did my best to capture regular folks having fun. If you were out, you might want to click through to the bigger version of the slide show. I got over 100 pics, so if you were out, and catching anything, there’s a good chance you’re among the snaps!
For those of you who got out at No Mans on Tuesday afternoon from around 215 to 355 pm, I got some pics. Like 300 of ‘em.
If you got a wave, chances are I got a snap. Anyway, I’m calling the conditions 7-8 out of 10, so even if you weren’t there, you might want to check it out by heading over to the page on my blog here.
