CENTRAL COAST - 15 TO 21 AUGUST 2021

 

15 AUGUST

A fun surf at Wamberal Beach – north of the big House.

This bank has been good for a number of days with only a handful of other surfers. The current was strong but the waves had power and shape. J

16 AUGUST

A fun surf at Wamby.

The waves changed a lot with the tide and backwash. Two okay barrels and one clear over the head feel good barrel. J

A hike off track at Girrakool.

Still on a high, I drove to Brisbane Water NP and walked through the bush at Girrakool. It was quiet with small cascades of water and even a red bellied black snake. A dangerous snake but they usually slither away from potential danger … very quickly.

17 AUGUST

A hike to Warrah Lookout.

This was a short hike to an amazing lookout. The wild flowers were in bloom with bees buzzing from flower to flower. The colours were white, yellow, pink, red and purple … a spectrum nearly. There were views along the Hawkesbury River to the west, Box Head to the North and Pittwater and Barrenjoey to the east.

18 AUGUST

Caught up with Paul H and we had a walk along Terrigal Esplanade and The Haven. Nice catch up.

19 AUGUST

Surf check at wamby

Mountain bike ride at Brisbane Water National Park on tracks near Warrah Trig.

Great views from the tessellate sandstone area just north of Warrah Road. A number of shorter tracks one narrow and the others wide. The best was the PMG Track which is all downhill for about six minutes – steep sections, with small and fist sized loose rocks, eroded areas, some flowy sections, views, changing vegetation and an eye out for moving pseudo-sticks.

20 AUGUST

A fun surf at Wamberal Beach. A nice right hand bank. Strong current but some waves with good shape.
