peak spied at Curly

Pulled up at Curl Curl around 0830 and a cute set wave appeared. I waited and waited for another one to show but the only thing that happened was that one of the 5 people in the water paddled in. Make of it what you will…

inconsistent but waves

A lot of sitting around waiting for small and often fairly gutless chest high ( on takeoff) waves. Ocean slightly textured.

Sunday morning 28 May at Curly: a gallery

Yesterday morning when I checked Curly I spotted a small group of people catching cute little shories right on the sand, so I grabbed a few pics to share. Here’s a sample…

Curly update

Stopped by Curly this morning around 0845. Lotsa people in the water with beautiful looking conditions. However, the longer I watched, the more I realised that the actual rideable ones were pretty few and far between, even though the sets were coming through regularly. So, surfable definitely, but you’ll want to be patient!

Tiny, tiny Curly at 0845

Curl Curl waves

Went by Manly and Curly this morning a little before 0900. Perfect offshore conditions but the little wind swell is so close together that it’s just about unrideable. Stopped at Curly to grab the pics below and had to wait quite awhile to see one of the four people in the water at the south […]

Postcards from Curly this morning

sth Narra

Coffee drinkers at south Narra could watch one of the few surfable peaks in Sydney this morning. Not much quality really, but fun moments were possible with a bodyboard.

Pics from Curly and Manly

Conditions very much affected by the high tide and rapidly fading swell this morning at Manly and Curly. But in both cases there were clean little waves in the knee plus range if you were patient and on the right peak…

Fat Curly

Stopped by north Curly for a look about 0900. Tide was smashing it and while there was about a metre of swell, the peaks were so fat even the lone SUP rider was having trouble getting into ’em. Still, the surface conditions were smooth and the water is bath-warm, so at least it was nice […]

Tiny peak at south Curly

Long waits and most of the beach was flat, but every now and then there was a very brief peak at south Curly at 0915.
