Swell is showing but…

Hello Friends, Jammed for time this am, so will keep it brief. There were waist to chest dribblers at Dee Why when I checked and grabbed the pic. Swell is showing at a couple metres from the SSE at about 9 seconds, but it’s not doing as much as I’d have expected. There should be […]

Where’s the swell Huey

Hello Friends, It’s about 10kts from the ENE and swell is showing as a couple metres at about 9 seconds from the SSE. However, there wasn’t much showing at Dee Why around 0815 when I checked. A couple bods were on it, but the biggest thing I saw was the knee high dribbler in my […]

Offshore, clean and starting to pick up

    Hello Friends, The forecast was calling for heaps of wind this morning, but as of 0845, it was just about calm. Swell was coming out of the SSE and was about 2 metres with a 9 second period. It seemed to be inconsistent when I checked around 0845, but there were sets into […]

Dropped but much cleaner

      Hello Friends, Another cold morning, but at least it’s sunny and not as windy. Swell at Dee Why point is around the chest high mark on sets (a bit bigger on the rare bombs), but the beach is more consistent and sets are into the head high range. We have another southerly […]

PICS by Don: Mid Curly at midday on Fri 13 May

Friday the 13th of May turned out to be a lucky day for some as a couple metres of SSE swell hit the beaches of Sydney. After a surf at Dee Why point, your webmaster set up at mid-Curl Curl to do a bit of shooting. Sets were about twice as big as Dee Why […]

Hooray, we still have a few waves this morning

Hello Friends, Good news Sydney surfers, the waves haven’t gone away. Swell’s gone more to the SSE but as of 0800 was still averaging around the two metre mark at sea. The period bumped up a little yesterday and is still sitting on about the 9 second mark. We’re coming off a high tide at […]

Curly has size but shutdowns aplenty

Stopped by Curly after the soccer. Lots of size, and lots of folks. But after watching for awhile, it became apparent that the swell is not working with the current banks at all well. Very high percentage of one-turn-wonder waves and general shutdowness. Here’s a snap of a briefly nice looking set wave at the […]

120 Pics: Sat morning at Curly

Curl Curl was a popular spot on Saturday morning the 10th of April. I got over 120 shots of dozens of different surfers, so check it out if you were there – maybe I got you too! As always my goal was to take shots that make regular folks look good. And, if you don’t […]

Pics: So. Narra gallery (Sat 3/4/10)

I spent a little while shooting down at south Narrabeen Saturday morning before the wind hammered it. Most of the shots were taken a little north of Wetherill Street. Shutdowns were the order of the day, but the light and surface conditions made for nice photo-taking. South Narrabeen: Sat 3 April 2010 – Images by […]

oot & a-boot lookin’ for waves

Hello Friends, Gonna pop up a few piccies later, but since I’m working off my netbook from the lovely surrounds of the sth Curly carpark, thought I’d give you the skinny first. As anticipated last night, the swell has definitely pushed right up. It’s pretty raw and at first light this morning there wasn’t much […]
