Posted on August 4th, 2009 in Big Picture, Dee Why.Hello Friends,
Grey, almost foggy start to the day in Sydney. Looks like our swell has declined significantly overnight. It’s actually a touch bigger out at sea than this time yesterday, but the all important period setting has gone from 11-13 sec to 9-10 sec. At Dee Why this is translating into weak and crumbly waist high conditions that had not attracted anyone into the water as of 0700.
My hunch is that places with direct exposure to the swell direction should still be showing a little something. Outlook is for the wind to be out of the N-NE early, but not getting up to much in the way of velocity.
Surf outlook across the remainder of the work week is not looking too spectacular. Indeed you’d have to say it’s pretty likely to be flat to nearly flat most places until the weekend.
The long range models have been swinging about lately. They’re currently showing the possibility of reasonable chest to head high waves out’ve the easterly quarters. Hope it pans out that way…
In the meantime, pile into your Tuesday with great effect!
0700ish and if you're missing it, it doesn't look as though you're missing much...

Byron Bay Today August 3rd
Posted on August 4th, 2009 in Byron, Just for fun, Local Colour, News Stories, Site News, surf photography, Surf Reports.
- Silas Mackay from the Byron RipCurl shop was the first winner fo our custom Bob Brown giveaway, In Byron bay Today.
It was a rather special day for us today, as we got to experience the buzz of bringing some serious happy vibes to another human being. Today we delivered a brand spanking new 9’4” custom made Bob Brown Hot Dogger, that’s been personally tweaked for the winner of our subscriber’s lucky draw. So who was the lucky bloke? One Silas Mackay of Byron bay that’s who, and wasn’t he just stoked. We strolled into the shop where he works, and handed him a freebee worth well over $1.6K. So who’s next? We’ll be telling you guys more about that later, because that ain’t the end of it, it’s just the beginning. There will more, much more, but if you don’t check the site and subscribe; well you probably won’t win. As for Silas, congratulations in order buddy, we can’t wait to see you surf it. Now to the surf, it was bloody average but hey it was another stunner of a day. So it was good to get out and shoot what little there was anyway, as there’s nowhere else we’d rather be than In Byron Bay Today.
