North Shoot – Saturday 7th October at Mona Vale Pool with Andrew Porter

October 7, 2023 @ 5:45 am - 8:00 am

Location Information

Location features : Famous ocean pool on the reef. This is a deceptive tide ; flat and receding, but a forecast “rough” 2.6m swell.
From the safety of the beach car park we can assess the swell and whether to venture onto the rockshelf beyond the pool. Bring a long lens if you have one, to give yourself both options.
If the swell persists beyond dawn, there should be plenty of surfers enjoying the waves in Bongin Bongin Bay to the left of the pool.

Hazards/Dangers : If you are near the waters’ edge, keep an eye on the surf. Even on an out-going tide, big sets of waves can surprise you.

Fitness requirements? : Short walk from the car park onto the beach

Additional safety equipment required : Pool lights will likely be on until after First Light. Wear rock shoes if you intend to go out to the rockshelf
