At larger
Hello Friends, Had to drop my old tractor, er, car, in at mechanic’s for rego, so found myself fetched up in lovely Brookvale. Happily mate PB was free to give me a ride home, so we took the long way and checked the beach. There were a few bods in the water up toward the […]
Afternoon update – it’s faded
Hello Friends, Well, that was fun. Hope you got in before lunchtime today. As the NE’r came up and the tide dropped, the head high plus sets of this morning disappeared. Very disappointing for those who can only get in the water for the late. I spent a couple hours in the water at […]
Snaps from this morning
As noted earlier, I was out and about with the Nikon D3 and 300 f/2.8 looking for some surf snaps. Got quite a few which I will post to galleries on my personal site later on. For now, here are some samples…
Cool morning with waves
Hello Friends, Did you get waves there yesterday? I’d go have another look at it today then. It’s dropped overnight, but if Dee Why’s any guide, you should still be able to extract a bit of juice from the longer period sets. Average size at sea is around the 1.5 metre mark. Sadly, the average […]
Late arvo update: yeah, like that

As of this writing, we have 15-20 kts or thereabouts of ENE wind chopping up about 1.5 metres of SE windswell. The power setting has crept up slightly and […]
Freshy to Gardens
Hello Friends, As promised, went out and about with the lens to see if I could get a few extra pics from this morning’s beach activity. First stop was Freshy where one guy was waiting a very long time for knee to waist high sets. He finally jagged one and I got the shot below: […]
Monday-itis
Grey skies and a weird intermittent problem on the server this morning. Perfect Monday combo… not! So, what’s the situation this am? Well, since yesterday morning when we ran all those great pictures, Huey’s turned down the swell machine. The average height of the SE swell has only dropped marginally from around 2 metres to […]
Dee Why to Freshy
Hello Friends, Weak and small everywhere I looked this morning along the southern extent of the Northern Beaches. I started my run with a stop in at Long Reef to see what was doing. Not much, as it turned out. There were a couple bods in the water just south from the lifeguard hut, but […]
