Another day of tinyness

Hello Friends, The ocean is looking rather quiet this morning at Dee Why. Even so, there are a few bods having a go at a little peak up the beach from the SLSC. As with yesterday the waits are long and the sets are just barely into the catchable range. Swell is out of the […]

Pretty much flat but a pulse due in the arvo

It’s one foot and clean right now but a pulse is due from the SE with offshore winds after lunch which should give us something to play with in the 3 foot range by this arvo.  Be quick though ‘cos it’ll be gone by tomorrow lunch.   Next south swell due on the weekend. Enjoy.

Small and clean……again

Its another stunning sunrise today only spoilt by the continued lack of decent waves. There are 12 keen souls out there at Queenie catching knee high efforts at best. Things are looking up though and we should start to see some sort of improvement by this afternoon. Fingers crossed.

Walter Munk: father of the surf forecast

An oceanographer by training, Munk has spent 67 years studying how waves form, how they travel and how they break when they hit […]

fewer sharks = more jellyfish?

Sharks are under siege from humans and the consequences are far reaching. It turns out that you can’t pull a top predator out of an ecosystem and expect everything else to remain the same. A recent article in the Age (Taste for delicacy puts sharks at risk) canvasses the issues. A quote or two… A […]

A few little ones about on the low at 7am

1-2 feet at best this morning on the low tide at 7.30 but little lines could be seen and there were a few punters braving the average conditions but it was clean, offshore and uncrowded.  Should be sign of a new little swell coming in by tomorrow and wednesday (3-4 feet) with a bigger south […]

Oh dear

Hello Friends, Late yesterday there was a little spike in the period into the ten second range and if you were in the right place there were waves into the chest high range. But we’re back to 7 seconds average for the metre or so of SSE windswell. What that means for Dee Why is […]
