Sunny breaks but very small
Posted on January 31st, 2010 in Big Picture, Dee Why.
Hello Friends,
Same old same old this morning. Well, not quite. The gloom has largely abated and the wind’s come more around to the E-NE. We’re still looking at very small and weak SE windswell though.
At Dee Why it’s translating into the odd knee to waist high groveller. There are a few bods bobbing about, but it looked pretty inconsistent. I’d be taking the mal or your nearest equivalent. That and a patient and positive attitude.
The forecast remains interesting, if not dazzling. The models have pretty much held to the same prediction for a couple days now. From about Wednesday midday we should see a substantial increase in size as an east swell starts to fill in. The estimates are for wave faces into at least the 1.5x overhead range at spots that like east swell.
It looks as though the wind will be with this one though, so my quality expectations are modest. However, that said, I think Thursday morning could be okay with the outlook currently being for light east winds and sunshine. The light winds early pattern looks likely to continue through Saturday, and the swell should definitely be pushing along at around the same heights. Could be some fun ones coming up.
Go well with your Sunday!

Posted on January 31st, 2010 in Surf Reports.Surf’s picked up pretty nicely a couple hours prior to dark but the beaches and the water are JAMMED with legions of blue bottles. Had a nice surf at Narra but virtually everyone in the water was getting stung by those evil bastards. They are EVERYWHERE. If you’re planning on heading out in the morning, definite consider the steamer, despite the water temperature… Cheers, Rob
Falling swell with dropping wind speed
Posted on January 31st, 2010 in South Carolina.North winds will start near 20 mph but become half that by the afternoon. If you can stand the cold, it might be OK in the morning.

It’s Time To Have Your Say, In Byron Bay Today’s Weekend Review.
Posted on January 31st, 2010 in Byron.
What a week it’s been, Sharks, Sharks and more Sharks a midweek surprise swell and still much controversy. Now listen up folks, over the last year we’ve had many requests to open an online forum page on the In Byron Bay Today
Grey, drizzle, yep it’s summer 2010
Posted on January 30th, 2010 in Big Picture.Hello Friends,
You may have noticed that we don’t exactly have beach weather this morning. Cloudy skies, the odd light shower drifting down on the steady SSW wind and no obvious sign of swell. The MHL buoy reports a couple metres of south swell at just 7 seconds apart, but as you can see from the photograph (very grainy because the light levels were so low), there’s really nothing much showing.
The general outlook over the next few days is pretty ordinary. It looks from the models as though we’re unlikely to see much of any improvement until we get toward the middle of the week. And even then, while the swell should push up from the east, there’s likely to be a fair amount of east to ESE wind with it.
If I had to pick a day for the coming week, I’d go for Thursday morning before the wind kicks in again. But that’s a fair way off, so I reserve the right to change my advice as the week goes along!
Have yourself a top old day and get up to some good on the way through.

Rain, Ice and Snow
Posted on January 30th, 2010 in South Carolina.Just depends on what part of the coast line you live. Myrtle Beach may see snow or ice late Saturday but preety much all of Saturday is a mess with high winds and choppy seas. Some may see improved slightly off shore conditions Sunday, but I am thinking it will still be a wind surfers paradise.
