"Stay happy and you'll be perfectly fine" - Jack Norris

That was fun, a little left though.

Hello Friends, Out and about with the mobile RealSurf set up. First stop was Edgecliff Blvd for a squiz at the Collaroy-Narrabeen stretch. No one in at Collaroy really, but as you get up to about Marquesas, there were quite a few contending for the little sets. My strong impression overall is that we’re in […]

Interesting, looks like little ones

Hello Friends, Swell pushed up overnight and there’s not much wind around. It seems to have caught the denizens of Dee Why unawares though. No one in the water that I could see a little before 0700. That will no doubt change very soon though. The buoy data is showing a couple metres of SSE […]

Do you like grey?

Late arvo update: As the tide’s dropped, the conditions have improved ever so slightly at the north ends. The light’s dull and the wind is steady, but because it’s out of the NE, spots like Northy and Butterbox are relatively clean, if rather small. I’d say if you catch something in the waist high range, […]

Waves around still

Hello Friends, All the curves headed down for Sydney last night, but this morning still sees the odd set coming through. Dee Why looked to be pretty uncrowded, actually, there didn’t seem to be very many folk in the water at all. Only a few bods at the point which, as the picture shows, is […]

Cold but pumping

Hello Friends, I’m in awe of those tough sorts that paddled out at first light this morning when the temp was below 10 and the wind was whistling along at 10kts. But given the conditions, one can easily understand. The swell has cleaned up, tide is dropping, and the SSE sets are looking solidly overhead. […]

It’s all happening

Update: Just took this snap around noon: This was earlier today: Hello Friends, Again, very cold to start off this morning. But there were a hardy few in the water when I finally had enough light for a couple pics. Sets are pretty reasonable size too. The swell has pushed up into the two metre […]

Cold, clear Sunday morning

Hello Friends, Another cold start to the day… well, it is the dead of winter, so I guess one oughtn’t to be surprised. But surprised I was, in a mild sort of way, to find that there are still some okay sized waves about. Conditions to kick off Sunday are quite nice actually. No wind […]
