Sunday Sessions: Dee Why and Sth Narra

Spent Sunday morning shooting first at Dee Why (covering mainly the beach, but also the point) and then at South Narrabeen (from a spot roughly a block north of the Sands). Swell was pushing in from the SE at around 11 seconds apart and 2.5 metres. Both spots were very crowded. Crazily so in my […]

1100 warm, sunny, little bumps

Wind puffing along at around 10 kts at 1100. Potential little waves along the Collaroy-Narrabeen stretch — as long as you’re not too fussy. Take something buoyant and have yourself some kicks.

Midday update: bigger than expected

Hello Friends, Love it when that happens. It looked minor and weak when I filed my first report today, but when I got down to the beach for some paddling practice, I discovered that the energy levels were starting to go up – a fact confirmed by my mate Ken who was just getting out […]

Tiny but not totally and absolutely flat

Hello Friends, Very small to almost – but not quite – flat this morning at the Dee Why to Longy and the Collaroy Narrabeen stretches. There’s a wee little NE wind swell of about a metre at 5 seconds apart. This translated into knee to maybe waist on the best sets at the best spots. […]

Pumping southeast swell

Hello Friends, Close to 3 metres of 11 second SE swell rolling in with light offshores and sunny skies as Saturday got started. Wind is set to be light until this evening when it will get up to 10-15kts from the SE. Next tide is a big high at 1120, followed by a low at […]

Far North Collaroy

Was out and about with the camera this morning and stopped by south Narrabeen for a look around 1030. The onshore was just coming up, so unfortunately I didn’t really get much to share. Still, here are several for your amusement…

South spots Saturday

Hello Friends, We have another morning with a little wave activity. It’s south spots only though because the 1.5 metre SSE swell is only about 8 seconds apart on average, so it’s pretty directional. Places not optimally positioned will be tiny to flat (looking at you Collaroy), or only marginal (say hi to Gardens and […]

The View from Collaroy this morning

Had a look at the Collaroy-Narrabeen stretch and grabbed a few snaps for you. Plenty of size, but being windswell, it’s very close together and therefore relatively fat and weak. A few bods in the water up at Northy, but nobody else from there south to Long Reef. The biggest stuff was coming into the […]

Get in quick

Hello Friends, You’ll want to get on it early I think. About a metre of 10 sec period east swell is producing waves in the knee to waist plus range – or even a touch bigger – at exposed spots. Tide’s high at 0910 and a southerly change is due through a little after lunchtime. […]

Out and about in search of swell + video!

Hello Friends, My brain was spinning with ideas for the site and the crowdfunding project, so I was up before daybreak making notes and thinking. Decided to hop in the car and go down to the beach to have a look and to make a short video about the crowdfunding stuff. Surf situation seems to […]
