A couple more pics (Manly & Curly)

Hello Friends, Swell is on the fade and there were lots of folks in the water at Manly and Curly bidding it adieu. I think the pictures pretty much tell the story – they’re both set waves. (above: Sth Curl Curl, below: Manly)   

Happy Fathers Day

I’d say there’d be a few surfed out Dad’s today… Got a few snaps this morning at South Narrabeen. Cruncher to makeable ratio was about 99:1, but it makes for good stills picture taking conditions. Pretty busy in the water, but not absurdly so because so few waves offered more than a couple turns before […]

Look around, should be a little something

Hello Friends, Nice morning out there and we still have some little SE swell around the joint. As the caption notes, I had to wait 10 mins to get today’s picture of a set wave. Mostly they were shutting down and smaller, so just a hint that where Dee Why’s concerned, your mileage may vary. […]

Watershots from Dee Why

Hello all, Been awhile since I had a water camera and a chance to surf the point. Put those two together from around 1100 to around 1400 and came back with a few keepers to share. An extremely fun sesh too. Crowd ranged from 4-10 depending, so it was no drama for your ancient mariner […]

Grey, glassy afternoon

Hello Friends, Went for a splash at Dee Why late this afternoon to take advantage of the dropping tide. As the tide continued to drop, the waves got crunchier and the crowd grew. Sets were into the shoulder high range and it seemed that there were only a couple of consistent peaks at the south […]

Sunday and it isn’t flat

Hello Friends, Huey’s got us used to a pretty high standard lately, so by comparison, this morning’s offering of 9 sec period 1.5 metre SE swell could seem a bit sub par. 30 or so bods were on it from before 0700 at Dee Why beach and I’d expect that pattern to be playing itself […]

Sat morning pics

Hello Friends, Got out and about with the camera this morning. Here are a dozen snaps mainly from Gardens, but including Curly and Longy too. Mostly shot between about 8-930 – just before Huey turned the power down. As of midday we’ve gone from SE at 1.5 metres at 9 seconds apart to 1.5m south […]

Morning pic round-up: far north Collaroy etc

After getting out of the water at Dee Why, I made a loop via Edgecliff Blvd on Collaroy Plateau for a sort of big picture take on the Collaroy to Narrabeen stretch. Northy looked fairly depopulated through the binos. In fact there weren’t too many in the water along the entire stretch, and yet there […]

Morning pic round-up: Freshy & Curly

Freshy seemed a bit better than yesterday. But again, it was tending toward closeouts much of the time. As usual, if you were in the right spot, at the right time, a wave there was as fun as a wave anywhere else! Curly was strangely subdued. There were plenty of folks in the water, but […]
