Little waves about
Posted by: Don on November 27th, 2009[starratingmulti id=1 tpl=12]
Hello Friends,
Well, looks like we have some little waves. Overnight the windswell jumped from one up to two metres from the NE. Period’s only about 8 sec, so we aren’t talking huge and powerful, but there are definitely prospects for fun around the place.
Dee Why’s not usually the first place you’d look for a wave when the windswell’s out of the NE, but I saw a couple amusing looking chest high set waves when I climbed up for my traditional morning pictures.
We’re in for a stinkin’ hot day with NW wind, so it’s good to see that for once there should be a few waves to be had at most places (apart from those with mainly south exposure).
And just quietly, I’m liking the look of next week. More thoughts on that later…
On other matters, I’ve managed to get our spiffy shop graphic working on our main pages. I’ll try to add another product or two soon, but you can grab a FoRS shirt and cup right now.
Go well!

Weekend warriors weren’t put off by the somewhat junky conditions mid-morning at No Mans and Long Reef on Sunday 29 August. Sets were into the shoulder high range and there were...
Saturday morning saw a couple metres of south swell with a period of about 10 seconds lighting up beaches around Sydney. South Narrabeen was looking tasty early with offshore conditions...
What a great weekend! So what if Huey didn’t deliver as expected – the sun shone, the wind blew offshore and there were waves! I burnt a bit of petrol cruising round...
