The View from Collaroy this morning

Big east windswell stacking in

Moving sand

Sizable but fat

Had a look at the Collaroy-Narrabeen stretch and grabbed a few snaps for you. Plenty of size, but being windswell, it’s very close together and therefore relatively fat and weak. A few bods in the water up at Northy, but nobody else from there south to Long Reef. The biggest stuff was coming into the focus point near Marquesas, but I saw no takers for what would be a pretty relentless wave environment. Just wave after wave with no let up and not that many really looking makeable.

Interesting to see the progress council is making up at North Narrabeen in their effort to reshape part of the seaward side of the dune that has gradually built up over the years in front of the SLSC. Many North Narrabeen locals would like to see that giant dune radically reduced and the sand moved down to south Narrabeen. The thought is that by doing this once plentiful peaks down toward Gardens might return, taking some crowd pressure off Northy and hopefully restoring it too to former glory. You can learn more about this from the Surfrider Foundation endangered waves page on North Narrabeen.
