[south-west vancouver island] – on friday at 7 pm: flat, choppy and listless at our rivermouth point, in spite of some decent troughs and whitecaps across the straits today – rideable waves are likely to be holding at our lost village beach, further up the straits towards open ocean – marine winds southwesterly and westerly to 20 knots – please stay tuned ….

Fews options this AM (DYSH)

The Jewellery Store

Absolute platinum conditions today. Classy glassy faces to earring high at Summer reef north of Bronte. Tama looking gold for lefts and rights to necklace high. But Bondi is our diamond this morning with options everywhere. A beautiful sparkling left to nose ring high off the steps well worth the line up. Enjoy shopping at Huey’s jewellery store today boys and girls!!!

Still plenty of waves around in the headhigh range, but that wind is pretty damned chilly

Brrr, cold! But there are waves.

Fun little waves at Dee Why this am

0720 and the point wasn't as crowded, but nor was it as consistent as the beachy.

Hello Friends,

Quite an impressive number of folk in the water from first light at Dee Why this morning. There was a dark bank of clouds along the eastern horizon as the sun came into view, but looking west, the skies were clear. And the Bureau’s call is for a fine day with light S-SW winds. The ocean looked pretty rugged offshore, but along the beach at Dee Why, it was clean and most important of all, there are waves to be had.

The MHL Sydney buoy shows that Huey hasn’t changed the setting much since yesterday afternoon. Average height at sea is sitting right on the two metre mark. The direction is still SE, but the average period has dipped toward a more marginal 8 sec. Fortunately there is still some 12 sec component in the mix and as a consequence there were sets into the shoulder high range on the bigger ones as things got started at Dee Why beach.  There are sets at the point as well, but while I watched, it was both smaller and less consistent than the beachy.

We’re set to have fine weather today and the NSW marine forecast says the winds will be 13-18kts from the S-SW. Temps are due to be around the 16 mark along the coast.

Outlook for tomorrow is for the swell to get a little bit smaller, but not to go away. Figure waist to shoulder-head high today, and maybe knee to chest high tomorrow at spots with good exposure to the SE.

Huey looks to have another south pulse brewing up too.  At the moment the models are showing it ramping up overnight on Monday and peaking Tuesday morning in the 3-4 metre range. Could be a bit of SSW wind with it, but not looking like unsurfably so. Should be showery too.

Have yourself a top old day, and go well!

Central Coast Surf

Fine, clear and cool on the Central Coast this Saturday morning.  The swell is ruffled at 2 – 3 feet from the east southeast.  There is a light south southeast blow.  Low tide 0730 and high tide around 1315.  Local barometer 1009 hpa, 93% humidity, 7 degrees C.  Have a good weekend!
