Pumping Tuesday at SSE spots

Hello Friends, A brisk 11 degrees outside as I write this, but it hasn’t deterred surfers at Dee Why. Offshore wind and a much improved 3 metre SSE swell with a period of close to 11 seconds was pushing in as the day got started. Set wave faces were solidly overhead at both the beach […]

Time to go surfin’

Hello Friends, The short version? Get out there if you know what you’re doing, and watch if you don’t. Swell energy is strongest from the east this morning, but there’s SE component still in the mix. Average period is around the 10 sec mark, but with some longer period energy in the mix to keep […]

It’s still pumping at south spots

Hello Friends, Another day of good waves at south swell spots. It’s 2.5 metres and coming from the SSE at a juicy 10 seconds apart. This is a near perfect size for Sydney’s beaches. Throw in a westerly of 10 kts, and you have every reason to bend the schedule around for a wave. Tides: […]

Pumping

Hello Friends, Got in for a wave this morning at Dee Why. I spent most of the time at the point where sets were in the chest to head plus range. It wasn’t classic, punchy Dee Why point, but it was definitely a lot of fun – even with close to 20 out by the […]

Pumpin’ Thursday morning

Hello Friends, It’s on boys and girls – but you better be pretty good because there are some serious sets in play this morning at spots exposed to the 12 second, 3 metre east swell. We have light westerly wind this morning, and it’s basically due to stay this way all day long. Outlook is […]

Pumping

Hello Friends, Not a day for beginners and maybe a little sketchy for those just qualifying themselves as intermediates, but if you know what you’re about, you’re about to have fun at your fave east swell spot. Swell has ramped up pretty dramatically overnight. It’s a couple metres from the east and the average period […]

Fantastic Friday

    Hello Friends, Well, it’s pumping this morning. Swell is averaging 3 metres at sea from the SE and is packing a period of 11 seconds. Wind was light out of the WNW and skies were clear, so strangely, it was really crowded at Dee Why point and up the beach. Whodathunk? Sets are […]

Early risers scored

Hello Friends, If you can get to your favourite south swell spot this morning, the go at once. Swell is close to the three metre mark at sea with a punchy 10-11 second period. Set wave faces were 1.5-2x overhead at Dee Why before 0700. Swell has likely peaked, but it should be solid right […]

PICS BY DON: Sth Narrabeen, Thr evening 29/9

After shooting solid conditions at North Narrabeen, I got on me bike and raced down for a look at the south end of the beach before the light went away. As you’ll see when you watch the highlights gallery on this page, it was extremely photogenic and board-snappingly ferocious. As per usual all pics are […]

PICS BY DON: pumping North Narrabeen Thr afternoon 29/9

For not more than a couple hours before dark on Thursday afternoon 29/9, a punchy, 2 metre ENE swell and offshore winds combined to turn the entire Narrabeen stretch into a wave wonderland. I shot at Northy from about 1615 to 1700 and in that time managed to accumulate 300+ shots. Below is a gallery […]
