A few about still
Posted on February 24th, 2009 in Big Picture, Dee Why.
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!

Posted on February 24th, 2009 in Surf Reports.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

The Swedish connection
Really wasn’t much swell to speak of, In Byron Bay Today. But for the first time in a few weeks we saw the whole day through without rain, which had all the beach crew frothing at the mouth. The wind was light, the air was warm and the waves although really small, were clean and fun for logging at least. Town itself has a weird vibe on Mondays. It’s kinda of like everyone has just had one too many funky moments on the weekend. Of course reality is, most folks are OK it’s just a small percentage that are moving in slow motion. Be that as it may, down at the various beaches the people were happening, whether there was much surf or not. We managed to get a few good shots and had some fun in the process. So come on in for the full update In Byron Bay Today.

3-4 feet SE swell at around 9-10 secs
Posted on February 23rd, 2009 in Curl Curl, Surf Reports.3-4 ft at 9-10 secs out of the SE with N/NE winds. It’s a little full but I reckon by the arvo it should be cranking on the low. Waves everywhere- Manly looked good too. Enjoy.

Posted on February 23rd, 2009 in Mona Vale.The waves are sick today! it’s like a cleaner, slightly bigger version of yesterday! really worth getting down to your local if you get a chance! i think most beaches have better banks than MV though.
Waves, we have more waves
Posted on February 23rd, 2009 in Big Picture, Dee Why, Gardens, Long Reef.Hello Friends,
Well, well, well… I love it when that happens. All the models were pointing toward marginal conditions, but yesterday evening when I went for a dip at Longy, there were quite distinct sets… and this morning we have 2 metres of SSE swell at a healthy 11 sec period. Not only that, there’s not much wind to start with.
It looked like there were a few peaks worth the chasing at Gardens, but no one was in amongst them. Collaroy might have a learner wave, Whiterock didn’t show anything while I watched, but a rather attractive set wave came around Makaha. It’s a pretty sketchy setup out there at the best of times, but early morning under cloudy weather, and after recent rain… and with heaps of bait fish around… maybe not…
Around the corner at the Dee Why end of the beach, the swell was focusing quite well on the point and the beachy. Both were well populated as you’d expect.
Outlook is for the NE to get going later and be up to 20-30kts by dark.
Next tide is a low at about 1345.
More from me later…
Some size in the shorey this morning.
No one in the water chasing these - yet.
Doesn't break very often, could be a fluke... but a nice looking fluke!
Some size in the shorey this morning.

Posted on February 23rd, 2009 in Surf Reports.Tide still looks a bit full, but as it drops we should we able to fully appreciate a punchy head-high offering from the south east. Bless you, Huey!
