Woo-hoo! More waves!
Posted on October 25th, 2008 in Big Picture, Dee Why.Late arvo update:
1500-ish: setting up another quick little right at Long Reef.
Still a little swell around. Getting into the beachy up near Long Reef with a reasonable amount of crunch. Surprisingly so in fact. A few of us were out and from what I could tell, everybody stepped into a few of them. I was too busy surfing to take many snaps, but here’s one anyway.
Hello Friends,
Late last night it looked like we might have waves again this morning, and lo, it has come to pass. Yep, it’s a touch smaller, but the good thing is that the swell has gone a touch more to the east and that should mean that pretty much everywhere in Sydney will have something in the way of a wave.
0740: fun at Dee Why beach and the point.
To put some numbers on the situation, a look at the Sydney MHL buoy shows we have 2 metres of ESE swell at about 10 seconds apart. Those are good settings and at Dee Why they’re translating into sets into the head high plus range along the beach and maybe a touch smaller (and less consistent) at the point.
Outlook according to the Bureau is for light and variable winds this morning, tending around to the NE and getting to 13-18 kts by this afternoon. I’d expect the swell to stick around all day but to be gradually decreasing in size and consistency.
0740: still getting a few at the point
If you haven’t been able to get in over the last week, then my advice is to make an effort today because the outlook is for small to marginal tomorrow and then generally weak and tiny for the next week.
I’ll try to get out and about with board and camera later. As well, I’ll have a hunt around for some more amusing, interesting and useful links for a weekend version of editor’s picks.
Speaking of which, if you’ve found something you think worth including, why not tell me about it below…
And here’s this morning’s radio surf report with Simon Marnie of the ABC 702 weekend show…

Posted on October 25th, 2008 in Surf Reports.
WEEKLY REPORTS for 2008
Report No: 41-08
Period: Monday 13th to Sunday 19th October 2008
MONDAY – Early boat trip Pebbles which was pretty funky with the swell being a bit too much from the West. It was making it very fast and sectiony so you really had to be selective with which waves you took. The Trades got up early and were blowing pretty hard.
TUESDAY – Only one surfing guest at the resort today (a lot left last night) and he opted not to surf today. The SW swell was increasing in size and the trades were blowing consistently.
WEDNESDAY – Full day boat trip to Boulders. The swell was about double head high with the waves pretty clean all day, being protected from the moderate trade wind. It was mostly uncrowded all day with only a handful of surfers taking advantage of the conditions. The waves were good with some barreling from take off and others having nice open faces for turns. The sun was shining most off the day and the surfers ended up fried after about 6 hours in the water.
THURSDAY – Guests opted to stay out of the sun and the water after such a long day yesterday. The swell was dropping and the wind reasonably strong from the SE
FRIDAY – Early boat trip to Pebbles which started off a bit wobbly but cleaned up once the trade wind kicked in. The crew surfed for about 4 hrs in the waist to head high waves. Some guests surfed the back peak which is a more open face wave and some surfed the inside section which is a lot wedgier and hollower.
SATURDAY – No surfing guests at Sa’Moana today but some of the guides & staff had a quick paddle at Pebbles in between mooring maintenance. It was waist to shoulder high with strong trade wind conditions.
SUNDAY – Back to Pebbles where the swell had come up a bit and was up to head high and consistent. Lots of barrels and those that didn’t had nice faces for big turns.
PHOTOS – Unfortunately no surf shots this week, so a nice one of a late arvo view out over the South pacific from Sa’Moana Resort
