3-5 feet, messy, full and no good

Posted on June 17th, 2009 in Curl Curl, Surf Reports.

3-5 feet of mess at Curly this morning- see photo above.  Maybe Manly later but winds forecast to go SE.  Predictions for the weekend are looking good at this early stage especially if we get the forecast NW winds. Enjoy.dsc00082


Hey, we got waves

Not stupidly big, but a day for intermediate to experienced riders only.

Hello Friends,

Swell arrived in force late yesterday and this morning sees it hitting south spots with wave faces in the 2-2.5m range. At Dee Why it doesn’t look super clean, but there are definitely some fun sections to be had if you know what you’re doing. Out at sea the swell is coming into Sydney from the SSE at about 9 seconds apart, Average size is close to 3 metres this morning.

From the look of the models, we can expect the juice levels to fade through the day, but with luck it will be gradual and not too dramatic. On current indications, I think you can count on there being something in the surfable range right through the weekend. This morning looks to be the peak though.

Wind is set to be SE to ESE over the next 48 hours, so wave hunters will be pulling on their wetties in southern end carparks up and down the length of Sydney’s coast.

If you’re a weekend warrior, I’ve got good news because it currently looks as though we could have quite good conditions on Sunday… I’ll be keen to see what the Goat says on this one…

Next tide is a low just before 0900.

That looks worth the effort. Set wave at the point around 0745.

Byron Bay June 16th 09

The weather had everyone out and about, then the swell started to arrive In Byron Bay Today.

There were whispers and a rumour of a new to come In Byron Bay Today. A hint rounded the cape and teased us with the promise waves in the bay. Those lucky enough to find themselves in Byron were blessed with beautiful weather; the type which lingers in memory for many years to come. But the waves were still small and if you caught the wind in the shade you were quickly reminded that it’s winter here too. Yet in the lee of Cape Byron it was sun sand and warmth with nice scenery. As if that wasn’t enough the swell slowly but surely began to rise. As the day progressed we started to receive some nice little waves. Nothing flash or huge, but lots of fun with a promise of more to come, In Byron Bay Today.
