Freshy to Curly notes and pics

Ahoy al

Had a look at Freshy and Curly around 0830-0930 this morning and grabbed you a few pics on the way through.

Everywhere I looked was crowded from 0830. Hardly surprising given the glassy little waves and sunny skies. Fresh’s crowd had to put up with mostly shutting down, mostly waist high dribblers. Every now and then though a more interesting looking set would turn (see pic below)

There were upwards of a hundred folks in the water from one end of Curly to the other. The south end looked kinda beat up and ordinary, but was accordingly less busy. The north end looked a picture, but the easterly angle to the windswell was just pushing past for some reason. The centre was where it was all happening – lotsa bods and a few pretty fun looking sections.

Caring and sharing Curly style this morning.

North Curly not as interesting as the middle of the beach.

Get out there and get amongst it if you can, but be realistic about your chances of anything like solitude!
