Afternoon update, wind dropping a little but still messy most places

Wind has backed off a fair amount but it’s still SE and the ocean is still messy and lumpy and disorganised. Only folk I saw in the water were half a dozen messing about […]

Out and about

Had to run an errand early and came home via Warriewood, Northy and Longy-Dee Why. As of 1030 the little south swell was still looking pretty lully, but every now and then a set appears and the fun can begin. Don’t be in a rush and I’m sure you’ll jag something!

PICS: Warriewood, Sat morning.

South swell of a couple metres and SW winds combined to deliver the Warriewood crew some of the better waves around the northern beaches on Saturday morning. I stood on the beach for awhile and shot over a 100 snaps of the action. Warriewood Sat 7 Aug 2010 (am) – Images by Don Norris

      The short version is that there are sizable sets at Warriewood for the hardy band that have battled out through the relentless big windswell. Sets are into the overhead range and the wind’s not too bad right in the corner. However, as you come down the beach it becomes more of a […]

Noon update: pumpin’ still

Got a few snaps from my wander this morning. Shots from Narrabeen, Little Narra, Warriewood, DY luga, etc Also managed to shoot a bit of vid at the Luga where the Psillakis brothers had it pretty much to themselves… If you can possibly get away for a wave, do it!
