Thursday afternoon wrap
Hello Friends, A little evening update for ya. Well, as predicted the wind shifted around to the SW and backed off to 10-15 kts as we got toward dusk. The swell got a little more east to it and according to the MHL data, the average period jumped dramatically to 12 seconds. It was around […]
Pics: Collaroy Sun 7/2/2010 midday
Don ducks down to Collaroy beach on a rainy Sunday to shoot folks playing in the little snappy ones just north of the pipe.
1700: a few Collaroy pics
Hi all, Out on an errand… had the camera with and was curious to see if the wind change from ESE to more SE was making Collaroy look any more interesting. I’d say it’d definitely cleaned up compared to lunchtime. The main break was still pretty soft and flabby, but down toward the stormwater pipe […]
Mid-arvo update: Bower & Collaroy

I spent a couple hours waiting for picture opportunities at the Bower this morning. Long wait between the good ones, and at that stage the wind was tearing […]
Wild and woolly
Hello Friends, Just back from a bit of picture snapping and I can tell you that there’s not much of anything looking surfable from Northy to Dee Why thanks to 20-30 kts of SE wind. Swell has ramped up and is currently out of the E by ESE at close to 4 metres at around […]
Late arvo update: pretty ordinary again
Hello Friends, Got out and about between about 1600-1700 to see if I could grab a few snaps for the Saturday evening visitors. Conditions, as you can see, are still pretty ghastly. But that hasn’t put folks off. About the most intense looking wave I saw was the one above. It was grinding into a […]
Pull the doona up
Hello Friends, I’d stay in bed if you’re up early! 20 knots of ESE wind making a complete hash of the ocean for us this morning in Sydney. I very much doubt that there is anywhere out of the wind that also has waves. Swell at sea is around the 2.5 metre mark. It’s coming […]
