A few pics from Monday at Dee Why

surfing gallery of dee why

Monday morning saw some residual SSE swell in the chest plus range at Dee Why, so I grabbed the camera and went shooting until the wind finally messed it up too much. If you were in the water around 0900 and you caught a wave at the south end or the point, there’s a good […]

Gardens, dusk, Wed 10 Sept 2014

After shooting at Mona Vale earlier in the day, I lost most of the afternoon to work. But I was able to sneak out just on dusk to grab a few shots of the reeling barrels at South Narrabeen. Very, very few were made, but almost everyone was covered before the inevitable pounding. You can […]

Mona Vale, midday, Weds 10 Sept 2014

As it got closer to lunchtime on Weds the 10th of Sept, a surprisingly energetic NE swell was beginning to make itself felt. By dusk it’d be 1.5-2.5 metres at close to 10 seconds apart. I shot for half an hour at Mona Vale just on noon – mostly of the main peak, but every […]

Sunday Sessions: Dee Why and Sth Narra

Spent Sunday morning shooting first at Dee Why (covering mainly the beach, but also the point) and then at South Narrabeen (from a spot roughly a block north of the Sands). Swell was pushing in from the SE at around 11 seconds apart and 2.5 metres. Both spots were very crowded. Crazily so in my […]

Thumping Dee Why pics

A few snaps from the madness at Dee Why point this morning. The wind decided not to go onshore, but instead swung SW and the SE swell though down a bit from earlier, was still 3.6 metres at 11 seconds on the MHL buoy. Tide was making it relatively fat and the rawness of the […]

PICS: North Steyne, Wednesday morning 20 August

Another chilly and southerly morning, but, as on Monday, there was a window of opportunity for surfers at Manly’s North Steyne. Did a bit of shooting from just north of the surf club before the rain set in again and I had to scurry away… Click the pic to jump to the gallery!

PICS: Monday at the Bower and North Steyne

Monday morning 18 August saw a brief window of opportunity at Manly for surfers before the southerly smashed it. Don grabbed a few pics at Fairy Bower and then at North Steyne.

PICS: Long Reef, the bombies and more

Got out and about with the camera on the morning of Saturday 9 August in the vicinity of Long Reef. Ended up getting pictures of people catching the big ones way out the back on the bombies along with somewhat less dramatic waves inside at Long Reef, the Pole and Dee Why. Click the pics […]

Latest lens session: South Curly mid afternoon Weds 25 June 2014

It was almost flat at Dee Why on Weds the 25th of June, but while the straight south swell was going by there, it was shoulder high plus around the corner at south Curl Curl. I rocked up around 1430 and shot for about an hour just because the lighting conditions were so nice. Click […]

PICS: Don shoots Curly Tue at 0930

From the freshly uploaded gallery, 308 pics taken at the south end of Curly from about 0930-1030 on Tuesday 17 June 2014. Tide was coming in pretty quickly but folks were having fun in the chest to shoulder high and offshore conditions.
