PICS by Don: The Bower, Thursday 14/6/12
After shooting at North Narrabeen, I decided to see what might be happening at Fairy Bower. I stuck around for an hour and got a few shots… were you amongst it? See the entire gallery here See the entire gallery here See the entire gallery here See the entire gallery here
Yep its big.
If Tim Bailey says its big… its big. 10 foot plus. Some places (not many) are rideable, most not. Win a SEACURED combo key storage lock at Surf Photos of You.
That was fun!
Hello Friends, Just a quick wrap for ya on Friday. I started the morning with a hike up to North Narrabeen to see how the swell was going. It had looked too messy and unphotogenic at Dee Why and I was confident the east swell would be lining up nicely at the old Northy. And […]
The Bower lining up around 11.30 – 12md.
I drove from Collaroy to Manly and no where was handling the swell, although the southern part of Manly was nice and clean but closing out. About 3 – 4 foot. I just caught the last wave of a tow in on the Queenscliff Bommie but decided to head for the Bower. About 10 blokes […]
Snappin’ again: Bower & Manly
Hello Friends, Went for a splash under the lowering grey skies this morning. Headed to the Bower just because it’s one of those waves I never tire of and I figured there’d be enough east in the swell for it to be showing something. I was right – as were a fair number of other […]
Swell kicking in
Hello Friends, Was busy in the middle part of the day over in town. Got back to the beach around 1400. Checked the Bower to see if the wind was tearing it up. Chop wasn’t super bad, but it was too messy to tempt anyone out. Some sizable sets coming in too. A few people […]
Afternoon wrap (Bower, Dee Why)
Hello Friends, Just back from a shooting session at Dee Why. Light was pretty ordinary, but I shot a lot anyway because it was so big. You’ll find the pics below the Bower shots… In the meantime, here are some snaps I got from a sesh at the Bower this morning. It was pretty setty […]
Out and about on a swell day
Hello Friends, Bit of a mixed bag this morning. I started my survey of options with a visit to Manly. Not many in the water along the beach but looked like a fair few at the Bower early. Beachy was producing some very, very nice looking set waves, but you’d be doing a bit of […]
Bower sesh
Hi evening folk, Hope you got a wave or two today. I had one of those will-I-won’t-I days. Finally gave into that familiar itch. You know the deal, I’m sure. You know there are waves and you could go… but for whatever reason you put it off. But the antsy feeling finally wins out and […]
A few snaps from the Bower at midday
Hello Friends, Jumped in the water at the Bower for a bit of the swell. Had a waterproof Panasonic camera (the DMC-FT1) to play with, so I grabbed some piccies for you… Anyone who’d like a high res, just use the feedback link in the top menu to let me know. I was having issues […]
