It’s here
Hello Friends Swell has arrived. A bit raw-boned and messy, but it’s the biggest we’ve seen in weeks. Heaps of folks on it at Dee Why from 0600. Swell looks to be pretty much S-SE with wave faces in the 8-foot range on the biggest ones. I’d guess the period is around the 9-10 sec […]
Running around the beaches
Hello again Friends, Wandered around the landscape on your behalf this morning and gathered a few snaps to share… Started at Manly where the crowds were surprisingly modest for a sunny Saturday morning. Guess that cold wind is keeping a fair number of us out of the water for the early. Sets were into the […]
A few snaps from late morning
Hi All When everyone else was heading to the beach, I was driving to Mt Colo, 100 kms to the west (family thing). But it looks like there should be waves all day, so I may yet add my name to the cast of thousands enjoying Sydney’s beaches today. Places with any size, eg Curly […]
The early was on
Hey all, Just checked Collaroy-Narrabeen stretch and it is firing ahead of the southerly. I’m guessing around 150+ people are on it, but there are so many peaks that it could be twice that number and not be too crowded at any given place. This won’t last long, so I’d be getting to just about […]
Morning pic round-up: Far north Collaroy
After surfin’ at Dee Why, I headed north. The camera battery was fading, so I only got a few snaps at far north Collaroy (about Mactier St). It looked as though there were again heaps and heaps of very fun, good quality beachy peaks from well south of there all the way up to Northy. […]
Morning pic round-up: Dee Why
When I got to Dee Why, I was getting pretty keen for a wave. I watched the beachy for awhile. It was way more consistent than the point, but it was pretty busy as well. Not that it really mattered much because I got lots of waves in the crowded conditions at Gardens yesterday morning. […]
Waves around this am
Hello Friends, Should be a few fun ones to be had at spots with exposure to the SSE. Swell has perked up slightly since this time yesterday, so if you had waves on Tuesday, Wednesday’s looking promising as well. Dee Why was already reasonably busy looking at 0620 when I checked. But there seem to […]
Smaller but not flat
Hello Friends, Definitely smaller this morning. But there were a few folks in the water at Dee Why beach rustling up some waist to chest high sets. The MHL data shows the swell is just a touch off SSE at a bit better than 9 seconds apart and averaging around two metres. Wind is out […]
As expected… fun ones this morning
Hello Friends, My traditional late start for Sunday has been made an hour earlier thanks to daylight savings finishing. How good is that? Anyway, you should get yourself organised this morning because it looks as though we’ve got some fun ones around at south exposed spots. As of 0815 there wasn’t much wind around, and […]
Sunny Sunday
Hello Friends, Heaps of people in the water at Dee Why this morning. Haven’t gone out for more of a look around just yet, but I’d bet that’ll be the trend most places. The big weather news this morning is of course TC Hamish which is now one of the strongest Australian storms apparently. Here’s […]
