Pic round up from this morning

Few pics from this morning, pt. 1

Hope you all got in, or are just about to! Herewith a few shots from this morning. Manly was very well attended from first light. But as with the last few days, there were heaps of peaks up and down the beach. Tide making it a bit fat on the outside early, but the wind […]

Morning pic round-up: Freshy & Curly

Freshy seemed a bit better than yesterday. But again, it was tending toward closeouts much of the time. As usual, if you were in the right spot, at the right time, a wave there was as fun as a wave anywhere else! Curly was strangely subdued. There were plenty of folks in the water, but […]

Morning pic round-up: Manly

Hello Friends, Another bout of picture taking by yours truly… started at Manly around 0730 and took pics for about 20 minutes. It was pretty consistent, but not quite at the pace of yesterday. Size was down too, but it was still clean and pretty fun looking – if a wee bit soft. Seemed to […]

Morning run around, Freshy to DY

All pretty fat and full along the southern end of the peninsula this morning (as those of you who checked out the vid broadcast from the beach). Here are a few snaps to give you a feel for the conditions.

Doing the run around

Lotsa waves around this morning. Nowhere truly mindblowing, but there are heaps of opportunities for fun all up and down the beaches. I saw perfectly surfable waves at the following: The executive summary: Northy: 6/10 Dee Why beach: 4/10 Dee Why point: 4/10 North Curly: 7/10 Freshwater: 5/10 Queenscliff: 6/10 North Steyne: 6/10 South Steyne: […]

Everyone’s in, where are ya?

It’s the last day of kid cricket season and I really need to be at my daughter’s final game. But what about you? I’m pretty sure 90 percent of people who can surf, or would like to, were in the water this morning. I checked Manly (including the Bower), Freshy and Curly and certainly at […]

Runnin’ around on Weds am

Hello again Friends, Okay, we’re really covering the (northern) beaches for you this morning. PB’s made the run all the way to Whaley and I’ve gone all the way to Manly. The executive summary from moi: Long Reef (near lugga) 3/10 Dee Why centre 2/10 North Curly 4/10 South Curly 2/10 Freshy 3/10 Queensie 5/10 […]

Running around

Hello Friends, Went for a loop from Manly to Northy this morning. Places with any exposure to the windswell direction were showing a little line. But being windswell, it almost always looked better than it really was. Of course coming off a high tide at around 0700 probably wasn’t helping much either. Manly and Northy […]

Late morning round up

Hello Friends Well, as those of you who checked out the vid report will know, I didn’t spot much of anything that could accurately described as surf. Nevertheless, I have come back with a few pics. Here’s the executive summary: Long Reef/lugga: 2/10 Dee Why: 1/10 South Curly: 2/10 Freshwater: 1/10
