Surfin’ Saturday for Sydney
Hello Friends, Interesting mix of NE and SE swell this morning in Sydney. The SE component was dominant and according to the MHL data wwas 1.5 metres at 9 seconds. So, it’s definitely smaller than yesterday. That said, I saw chest plusses at North Narrabeen, Long Reef and No Man’s on my run around this […]
Knee to waist plusses here and there
Hello Friends, Saturday started off with glassy conditions along the northern beaches. We had a touch under a metre of 10-sec east wind swell too. For the most part it was producing weak little sub waist high peaks here and there. There were waves from about No Man’s to the life guard hut at Longy […]
Little waves about this morning
Hello Friends, A few snaps from the Saturday morning circumnavigation of the Plateau to check the surf situation for my weekly radio gig on 702 ABC… Skies were cloudy but temps were comparatively mild and the wind was minimal. The MHL buoy was picking up about 1.3 metres of 13-second SSE swell at 0600. Set […]
Pics from around
Hello Friends, On a tight schedule so will just post some pictures and then, if the coverage permits, will attempt to add some details later. Short version is that swell has dropped dramatically and is now around the 2.5 metre mark as the day kicks off. It’s coming from the ESE at about 10-sec apart. […]
Few and far between but waves still
Hello Friends, About a metre of E-ESE wind swell with an average period of close to 9 seconds washing into Sydney as Saturday got started. Surface conditions were glassy to start and skies were mostly clear. Water’s around the 23 mark. Set wave faces at the magnets (eg Northy and the Pole) were in the […]
PICS: South Narrabeen Wed 14 Jan 15 late afternoon
South Narrabeen was firing up in autumnesque style late in the afternoon and I managed to get 150 or so pictures of the action. If you were in the water around sunset just north of Marquesas, check ’em out. And if you weren’t, look and weep! (fyi, if you want to see all the pictures, […]
Dee Why (again) & south Curly @0800
Was out and about as Tuesday got going, so took a closer look at Dee Why and the Collaroy Narrabeen stretch at about 0800-0830. Even though tide was low, the short period NE wind swell was more or less breaking right on the beach at Dee Why. Had to wait forever to get someone on […]
A midday gallery
When the skies unexpectedly cleared, I decided to jump in the beautiful warm water for a quick sesh at the Pole. Nothing to write home about really, but the water is beautiful and it didn’t seem to be much affected by run-off. Waves were in the waist to chest range and seemed to have an […]
Small waves about this morning
Hello Friends, Nothing special, but definitely a few waist high bumps and lumps around the place this morning as the swell fades away and the tide drops. Big issue, apart from the declining swell energy, is the wind which the Bureau tells us will be onshore before long first from the east then SE then […]
Gardens, dusk, Wed 10 Sept 2014
After shooting at Mona Vale earlier in the day, I lost most of the afternoon to work. But I was able to sneak out just on dusk to grab a few shots of the reeling barrels at South Narrabeen. Very, very few were made, but almost everyone was covered before the inevitable pounding. You can […]
