Not yet for Dee Why

...the water looks pretty ordinary this morning at Dee Why.

Hello Friends,

Dee Why isn’t exactly a picture this morning. Cloudy skies, cool, tiny, and dribbly windswell of such inconsequentiality that there are no takers. Plus, that very suss looking water that Rob alerted us to a couple days ago, looks like it might be back. Hard to tell for sure under the cloudy skies.

Wind is currently out of the south to around the SE at 10-15kts. The windswell is bumbling along at a metre from the south. The period is averaging just 6 seconds, but there is some 9 second component in the mix according to the latest MHL Sydney buoy report.

Outlook for the week ahead remains very much on par for spring, ie not much prospect of a decent wave. The big high sitting over the continent is bouncing any potentially useful lows away from the east coast’s swell window.

Oh well, that’s Huey for ya.

Get out there and have yourself a top old day!

Bloody good in Samoa for week 36-08

WEEKLY   REPORTS  for    2008

Report No:   36-08

Period:            Monday 8^th to Sunday 14^th September 08

 Another beautiful week in Samoa, mostly dry with only one or two showers in the middle of the night with plenty of bright sunny days. Also promising is the fact that the SE trades seem to be easing off, and we are all keeping our fingers crossed they will come to an end for the season.

Over the last two weeks we’ve had some of the prize winners from the great Rip Curl ‘Search to Samoa’ competition run Australia wide over last summer that Sa’Moana Resort sponsored.

Monday. High tide 2:27pm  With early SE winds, & the high tide in the afternoon, the crew hung back and surfed  down at Village Lefts, which was average Samoan quality but still great fun.

Tuesday. High tide 3:12pm  More east in the wind today meant Village Lefts was quite clean and lining up some very wackable sections in another fun little afternoon session.

Wednesday. High tide 3:49pm  A new SW swell meant an arvo boat trip to Pebbles where waves were basically throwing square into the strong offshore breeze. Nearly everyone managed to get shacked in the overhead barrels.

Thursday. High tide 3:53am and 4:23pm   An early out the front at Resorts on the dropping tide saw some juicy head high waves with a few sections smashed before a last minute dash over the reef as the tide got too low.

Friday. High tide 4:30am and 4:56pm   A pre dawn boat trip to Pebbles was a great call with clean over head barrels on offer for the early risers. The goofy footers were loving it, whilst the natural footers got to practice their pig dogging on the steep hollow faces. Once again they surfed until the tide got really low and dry reef on the inside had them heading back to the boat to lick their wounds and relive the memory of our barrels.

Saturday. High tide 5:07am and 5:30pm  Pebbles was the focus in the pre dawn & once again they scored for their efforts with overhead barreling conditions on offer. After about 45 minutes a boat load of pro surfers turned up and crowded the lineup for a while but after being put to shame by our crew of mere mortals they decided to hot foot it out of Samoa on the morning flight leaving it to it the crew.  So once again they had nice barreling conditions to themselves

Sunday. High tide 5:45am and 6:05pm  An early boat trip to Y-Tops was a great way to finish the week. A light offshore breeze made for clean and glassy conditions and with a shoulder to head high SE swell pushing in a fun session was had in the beautiful surroundings down at Y-Tops.

Gone Fishing.

Very not nice today with grey skies and on-shore winds on top. A huge school of tailor have been munching away at some bait fish all morning at Coogee beach. Maybe that’s what today holds for me, a bit of fishing. (Wouldn’t be dead for squids).

Back from bali

and once again the waves on offer aren’t to crash hot today.The SE winds are already blowing making the beaches bumpy and messy.There might be some small waves on the more protected points but nothing to get excited about.
