Eastern ‘burbs adventure

The likely lads decided to make the big trip from the northern beaches to the jewel of the eastern suburbs – Maroubra. Along the way we also had a squizz at Bondi, Tama, etc. But we ended up getting in the water at Maroubra ’cause it had the quality. Crowd wasn’t too big, there were heaps of peaks too. Mostly of short duration, but every now and then you could jag one that was up to shoulder high on the take off.

The wind was an ideal NW when we arrived, but not long after paddling out, it started to swing SE and to pick up. Vibe seemed pretty chill to me. Maybe it was due to the reaonably consistent nature of the little windswell and the fact that there were a number of peaks to choose from. As waves go, it sort of reminded me of Curly a bit. Water was clear too. My first surf there too, so kinda cool it turned out so fun.

Afterward we stopped by Bondi junction for some mex and a cerveza. Excellente senor!

smokin on the south coast (but not the way we’d like)

Crisp start, swells dropped and smoky skies. A few waves in the 2-3ft range – a bit of a mix of leftover SE with the strong NE’r yday turning it around a bit? Not brilliant but surfable. Water was nice y’day – assume same today. Rosco.

A few about still

The day gets started with a few rideable ones at Dee Why beach.

Hello Friends,

Looks like Sydney’s in for a fine day and there should be a few waves to go with the sunny skies. Dee Why beach was witnessing the odd chest high set as we headed toward high tide at around 0745.  Low will be a 0.33 at about 1417.  Wind is set to be light from the N-NW at 10-15 kts ahead of a weak S-SE change this afternoon. The MHL buoy is showing a couple metres of east windswell at about 8 seconds apart, but there is still some 11 sec period component in the mix. So not great, but not hopeless either.

Those SE winds are due to stick around for the next couple days and it doesn’t seem as though we can expect anything much in the way of swell beyond the usual little wind waves. So, not going flat, but not going off either is the general outlook.

I’m planning to do a bit of a wander around to see what else is happening, so more later this morning…

Go well!

Avalon to Narrabeen Rpt

Smaller, weaker, but just as fat as this time yesterday. Once we get past high tide, these shoulder-high bumps might shape up to look like something worth surfing, but at the moment they just look a bit sad

Fine, humid and dry on the Central Coast this Tuesday morning.  The swell is smooth and clean at 2 – 3 feet + from the east southeast.  There is a light north northwest breeze forecast to go northeast and southeast later.  High tide 0845 and low tide around 1515.  Local barometer 1010 hpa, 98% humidity, 20 degrees C.  Have a good one.
