Gallery: East by north east

Craig Brokensha (Craig)

Now that the onshore winds have set in and we can give our sore bodies time to rest, I've put together a few shots from the recent moderate to large east-northeast swell event in and around Sydney.

You don't have to try hard to find pumping waves in southern NSW under this swell and wind combination, with nearly every beach and reef focussing the sweeping lines into freight-train lefts or shorter, sharper rights.

Winds were great from Sunday through until yesterday morning, and it's put a cherry on top of the already great start to winter.

Thanks guys, beautiful light, waves and conditions. Gromfull, nah and Ringy, some keen lady doing stretches and about to hit it for a swim. Good on her!

ringmaster Thursday, 4 Jul 2019 at 02:25 pm new

Well that's a relief!

For a second I thought she was leaning over about to have a spew.

Good on her indeed!

Gotta love an east swell for the east coast.
Some great looking waves there.
Nice shots Craignets.

Pleasantly surprised to see the bombie at the end of my street in these Craig. Wish it was actually as good as it looks.

Craig Thursday, 4 Jul 2019 at 03:20 pm new

Ah how good, yes I concur.

Very nice , Craig.

If you zoom in on that last photo you can just make out one of the locals.

New steamer makes me look like I've put on weight.

freeride76 Thursday, 4 Jul 2019 at 05:57 pm new

Idesof344 Thursday, 4 Jul 2019 at 06:05 pm new

21 shots and only 5 dropins, must have been a heap of waves on the old east coast then

nickg Thursday, 4 Jul 2019 at 11:46 pm new

Craig Friday, 5 Jul 2019 at 06:33 am new
