Nice, very nice start Mr Huey
Hello Friends, NW breeze and a touch more east to the two metre, 10 second south swell wrapping into the Dee Why stretch. Early risers were on it and when the bomb sets rolled in, they were looking at overhead wave faces. Outlook is for the swell to fade as the day goes […]
Woo-hoo!
Hello Friends, Much, much better than the models were making out for this morning. Swell is out of the south and averaging 4 metres at sea with an average period of close to 9 seconds. Many of the sets seem to be missing the point, but the beach was doing just fine at 0700. […]
Another manic Sunday
Quick evening wrap for ya. Although mute with laryngitis , I wasn’t so out of it that I couldn’t take a few pictures earlier today. Started up at the Longy bombies. Although I shot a small gallery of pics (up by tomorrow), the quality wasn’t amazing really. People were sitting all the way out on […]
PICS by Don: South Narrabeen offshore Saturday afternoon 18/6
Near perfect conditions on a Saturday afternoon at south Narrabeen. People were in the water from Mactier Street almost all the way to Northy. I only had an hour or so to shoot, but I made the most of it. Sets were into the head high range and it was offshore and sunny too. Lots […]
Pics by Don: Dee Why, Friday morning 17/6/11
Friday morning dawned sunny and offshore with a pumping 3 metre south swell at Dee Why. Your humble correspondent set up the camera and spent a couple hours shooting under great conditions. Have a look if you were in the water, I probably got a shot or two at least. Have look even if you […]
Huey’s back in da house
Hello Friends, Swell arrived down south yesterday and while most of us were sleeping last night, it started coming up in Sydney as well. Swell at sea is currently showing at about two metres from the south with a useful average period of 10 seconds to which the big guy is adding the odd 14 […]
PICS by Don: Sunday, last of the swell at Manly and North Narrabeen
Sunday saw the swell swing a bit more to the SE as it began to fade. Still there were some magnificent waves to be had for the fortunate crew who were on them at Manly. I shot for an hour from near the North Steyne surfclub. Ended up with almost 400 shots of regular surfers […]
Still thundering
Hello Friends, I thought it might be a bit smaller by this morning. I guess it is. The MHL buoy was showing 2 metres of 10-13 sec SE swell as Sunday got started. That meant Dee Why point was surfable looking enough to have attracted a crowd of takers by the time the sun appeared […]
Wow!
That is the fastest I’ve ever seen the swell come up. In the space of less than two hours, it has gone from less than two metres at 8 seconds to nearly 4 metres at close to 10 seconds. The wind hasn’t come up as of 0930 and the crew at Dee Why are swarming […]
PICS: Mona Vale, Wed arvo pumping
After shooting Manly in the morning, I decided to check out Mona Vale in the afternoon. It was well populated (but so was everywhere with a wave) and the shooting conditions were perfect – front lit, offshore and two metres of 10 sec east swell doing its thing. I found myself a nice spot and […]
