"Stay happy and you'll be perfectly fine" - Jack Norris

23 Dec 08: cam picks

Thanks to the NE windswell, the most interesting cams on the east coast are those at beaches with good exposure to that direction – funny that.

Swellnet’s Manly cam shows surprisingly uncrowded little things coming in, but I reckon it looks a bit nicer for the early at Coffs Harbour.

The tide’ll probably be an issue later, and the wind is starting to work over the south end, but ZeeBra looks the tastiest option for eastern suburb surfers if the Coastalwatch Maroubra cam is any guide…

I know the waves aren’t any better than here in Sydney, but I wouldn’t mind messing about in the little things at Lennox Beach (coastalwatch cam).

Doesn’t look as though we’re missing much in Hawaii – if the Surfline Backdoor pipe cam is anything to go by. (You have to wait for this one, and then they only give you 30 seconds of vision.)

I looked around the world to see if I could find any other interesting surf, but it seems that anywhere with a cam has dud waves. Steamer Lane looks wretched for instance. About the nicest looking view I could find was of reporter Bruce’s stamping grounds. The Surf co.nz still snap looks clean and empty.
