PICS: Curly 25 May 2010, Tue morning

Stopped by Curly this morning not really expecting to find much. Surprisingly interesting looking before the high tide and wind became issues. I only had a short time to take pictures, but I managed to get about 60 of at least ten different people. As usual all pics are available without the watermark for a […]

Perked up slightly

Hello Friends, Not pouring with rain this morning. Odd. In fact there was a watery sun and steamy temps when I sat down to write this around 0915. Looks like there might be some little waves to be had thanks to a slight increase in period and a favourable dominant direction from the ESE. Will […]

Late morning, sunny skies and small

Hello Friends, Leisurely start for your correspondent this morning and it seems I haven’t missed much – at least where Dee Why’s concerned. Yesterday arvo I joined the crowds near No Man’s and though it was small, I managed to get quite a grovellers in the waist high range. There was some 12 second stuff […]

Very small this morning

          Hello Friends, Fog was so thick along the northern beaches this morning that visibility was down to only a few hundred metres. Not that there’s all that much to see. I wandered down to Longy to scope the ESE windswell options and grab a pic or two. As you can […]

A few piccies

Made a quick circuit at around 0700. Looked amazingly uncrowded everywhere. What goes on?? Saw a surprisingly large set wave at Dee Why (see the pic), but I really can’t believe that is anything like the average size one. Everything else seemed to be closer to waist high. Speaking of which, there were a couple […]

Grey Monday

Grabbed a few pictures as soon as it got light enough… Swell is back to the ESE at a metre by 8sec. More thoughts later today. The Bureau says: Sydney Coastal Waters, Broken Bay to Port Hacking and 60nm seawards: Monday until midnight: Wind: E/SE 10/15 knots tending NE in the afternoon and reaching 15/20 […]

Whoops, dropped a fair amount

Hello Friends, Hmmm. Thought it would be bigger this morning. But it isn’t. You’re going to have to hunt around this morning. The Collaroy-Narrabeen stretch has two or three very small and inconsistent (but at 0700, glassy) peaks. Size is struggling to get to chest high on the takeoff before rapidly slumping to sup waist […]

Freshy to Curly notes and pics

Ahoy al Had a look at Freshy and Curly around 0830-0930 this morning and grabbed you a few pics on the way through. Everywhere I looked was crowded from 0830. Hardly surprising given the glassy little waves and sunny skies. Fresh’s crowd had to put up with mostly shutting down, mostly waist high dribblers. Every […]
