Not liking this swell drought we are enduring for most of this winter. I can't remember a worst one. And not helpful are forecasts skewed to over-hyped like the one for yesterday. Having read that a longer period larger swell would hit about lunch time I headed out on my usual walk with my gear strapped to my back thinking better to have than not. Paid off as North Curl Curl was delivering consistent pockets of opportunity leveraged nicely by Livo and some CUBAns out for their monthly comp.

Things were certainly dialled up this morning as the swell gained significantly in size and hit us from the east. Normally, this direction holds little promise but that changed with the bigger size. And it was impressive to watch when the set waves hit the point. Wave of the day goes to @sakiko_sj who took on a monster the third in in a huge set of six that rolled through just before I finished shooting this morning.

Finally, a winter swell. Halfway through winter. Better late than never. And it was a pretty good one too. Moments of patchiness followed by large, hefty sets keeping everyone on their toes. Yew!

A less fickle and slightly less beautiful winter's morning out there today with a noticeable uptick in energy and a more helpful direction delivering a bit of size on the sets.

A fickle, beautiful winter's morning out there today with a slight change in direction redirecting the energy from the usual magnets and steering it straight through to mid-Dee Why where close-outs were the norm.

Another glorious winter's day with plenty of sunshine, warm temps and waves. The Point was delivering some decent set waves but most of the action was out on the Bommies, populated by seriously stoked foilers, longboarders and a couple of kayakers. Good to be out there today with more of the same tomorrow. Yew!

Haven't seen one of these in a while

The day after 6/6/16 was pretty good too. . . . #wozthatyou #mynikonlife #surf #surfing #surfingaustralia #surfer #surfphotography #surfingphotography #surfshots #surfphotos #surfingphotos #surfpics #surfphotographer #surflife #surfinglife #surfculture #mynorthernbeaches #sydneynorthernbeaches #northernbeacheslife

Seven years ago today: This once in a generation swell was the primeval spawn of an east coast low that raged mercilessly for 24 hours over the first weekend of June 2016. East Coast Lows are common along the Sydney coast but in this case the distinction was its north easterly direction and ferocity which caused severe flooding at Narrabeen and extreme beach erosion at Collaroy where several homes were seriously damaged including the infamous loss of a backyard swimming pool. Emerging from all this destruction and carnage was an unprecedented swell event delivering huge sphincter-tightening waves with a size and scale never witnessed before on the Northern Beaches.

Opted for some northern exposure Monday morning where I found @thewaxhead (pictured) putting on a bit of a clinic. I'm not sure if it was formal or not but a clinic it was nonetheless. It was a privilege to watch and photograph a legend taking on the large tricky conditions so easily. Yes, lots of rides ended up closing out but hey you gotta ride 'em to find 'em. And kudos to the other four riders out there, each being rewarded for their tenacity and courage tackling those conditions.

Funny where one sees one's friends eh Julian @surfit 🙏 #wozthatyou #notmypic

Calmer conditions prevailed this morning making it perfect for putting the drone up. Featured surfers include @surfit with Julian sporting a smoking new paint job and @johnchristensen47 in a nice three shot sequence. Nice morning for it. . . . #wozthatyou #deewhy #djimavic #surf #surfing #surfingaustralia #surfer #surfphotography #surfingphotography #surfshots #surfphotos #surfingphotos #surfpics #surfphotographer #surflife #surfinglife #surfculture #mynorthernbeaches #sydneynorthernbeaches #northernbeacheslife

Conditions scaled back two metres overnight after yesterday's mutant swell leaving us a paltry four metres to surf in this morning. Quite an eager crew out on the Point this morning under beautiful sunny conditions, warmer air temps and a gentler offshore breeze. Pics from this morning's session featuring @gor_oz @benzanatta @surfit @paul_soulsurfer and @timbarratt now up on site.

The forecasts were spot on today with swell ranging in excess of 6 metres (!) with lots of purple colour-coding on the charts for emphasis. Wind was a bit rough on exposed breaks like Narrabeen but relatively calm and tranquil around the corner at Warriewood where a crew of exactly four had the place to themselves.

Exciting new dining option. Let you know how it is when we're done.

That forecasted swell finally made its presence known at Dee Why this morning with a bit more size, favourable direction and a later high tide. It wasn't perfect but when the sets hit you knew all about it. Just ask Tom (pictured). Shots from this morning are now up on site featuring @gor_oz , @max.tyson1 , @isaac.buckley24 , @walshy5839 and more! . . . #wozthatyou #deewhy #mynikonlife #surf #surfing #surfingaustralia #surfer #surfphotography #surfingphotography #surfshots #surfphotos #surfingphotos #surfpics #surfphotographer #surflife #surfinglife #surfculture #mynorthernbeaches #sydneynorthernbeaches #northernbeacheslife

I can't surf but I twerk a mean Time Warp 🤣 . . . #wozthatyou #rockyhorrorshow

A nice morning for surfing and flying greeted us today including a noticeable uptick in swell size and period all helped along by a slight offshore breeze. I haven't flown the drone for awhile so it was good to get my hours up and fine-tune angles, heights and proximity to the crew surfing out there plus other air traffic like @skymonkey5 . 😁 Hope you caught a few yourselves. And what's up with the camera carrying pigeon I hear you ask? I read on The New Yorker today of all days that some guy back in 1917 who was both a pigeon and photography enthusiast, decided to bring them together to take aerial photos apparently for the first time ever in history. Had to share that.

The best way to start your day

A relatively cool, fun morning greeted us today ahead of the blast furnace the day became. Water and air temps pretty high so hopefully that northerly breeze brought you some relief instead.
