Swell hangin’ in there

Posted on August 26th, 2008 in Big Picture, Dee Why.

Hardly anyone chasing the odd clean set wave at Dee Why beach.

0645: crew inspects another set at the point.

Hello Friends,

At 0645 there were still a few set waves getting into the Dee Why stretch. The swell has dropped very slightly overnight and is currently averaging about 2 metres out at sea. It’s coming from a favourable SE direction and still averaging around 10 seconds apart. That should mean you’ll have a reasonable number of wave options to choose from across the Sydney region’s beaches. In fact, it looks as though these conditions should pretty much be the same up and down the NSW coast.

If you have the option, you may want to make the effort today because the models show this little pulse fading tomorrow as we head into what currently looks to be a week or so of showery weather and short period, marginal south windswell.

On a considerably brighter – indeed historical – note, RealSurf’s tireless Shari is going political and running for Warringah Council on the We Love Warringah ticket. I put up the official press release in our news section last night, so check it out! Pretty cool, eh?

Have yourself a top old day!

2-4ft ESE swell, lite offshore breeze, sun’s out, tide’s good. Tiny bit of NE windwave through it – but well worth a splash with the odd bigger sneaker set for good measure. Rosco.

Sickie Time.

Excellent conditions; everything from the air temp to the swell size is near perfect. Bronte reef not great at first light but will improve on the tide. Tama has a near perfect left off the outcrop and Bondi is hanging on to it’s few banks. Very much worth a surf at some point, even if your job may be at risk. (no responsibilities taken for that last bit).

Next season’s parking stickers are starting to appear, so the swap is on again, but I DON’T NEED ANY MORE WARRINGAH STICKERS. Works like this – if you have a spare you want to swap, drop an email to stickerswap@hotmail.com with what you want/have in the subject line, i.e. “Have Pittwater, Want Manly”. If you want to buy a sticker, don’t contact me. Contact the relevant council, or post something in the Realsurf forum. Today’s offering isn’t dissimilar to yesterday, though a bit smaller & a bit warmer. I’d go looking for spots that like it south, and that isnt really Northy

Fine and cold on the Central Coast this Tuesday morning.  The swell is pumping and smooth at 3 – 4 feet + from the east southeast.  There is a light northwest breeze forecast to go northeast later.  Low tide 0935 and high tide around 1620.  Local barometer 1015 hpa, 95% humidity, 5 degrees C.  Have a good one!
