It’s here

Shark Park: new California monster wave?

It looks like surf film maker Greg Huglin has discovered a huge new open ocean wave off the coast of Santa Barbara county. My bet is it’s near the northern end of one of the Channel Islands. But Mr Huglin’s not saying. Quite a good yarn about the first trip out there on his site (link below). Here’s a taste…

The wave warped ominously, jacking up as high as a four-story building half a city block long before the wall of water curved over, exploding in a thundering cavernous barrel. Sounding like a jet engine on overdrive, the explosion of white water sent a concussion of rippling “wavelets” as big as six feet into the channel.

Mr. Curry and the other surfers smiled.

What’s that thunderous sound coming from the beach? Swell!

Fine, dry and cool on the Central Coast this Tuesday morning.  The swell is messy, disjointed and rising at 3 – 6 feet from the southeast.  There is a light west southwest breeze at the moment forecast to go south southeast later.  Low tide at 0505 and high tide around 1125.  Local barometer 1004 hpa, 13 degrees C. 85% humidity.   Have a good one! For Sale -  I have a Surtech (Tuflite) Velzy 12 foot Hawaiian Paddle board (not SUP) for sale.  Excellent condition. $900.00 (cost $1600.00 + new).  This board is a standard (stock) class racing paddle board and goes like the clappers, very fast.  Good cross trainer for paddling on flat days. Contact Matt at  ms2007@bigpond.com

Dee Why: Lotsa swell, lotsa waves and lotsa surfers

Biggest and best waves we’ve seen in Sydney in at least six weeks (perhaps even more).  A solid south swell 1.5-3m at 8 seconds but the interval is already staring to drop. The word got out early–there were already nearly 20 on the Point by 0600 and twice that many at the beachies.  Go now, it’ll only get smaller later. Wind is currently light W to WSW so looking more like winter conditions than January.

If You Can’t Stand The Heat, In Byron Bay Today.

Not from the political pressures of what’s going on of late. I mean from the summer heat pure and simple, because that’s what we’ve got in Byron Bay today. It was hot today folks, it’s still hot and the southerly we were all pinning our hopes on for swell and a few cooler days. Is now looking like its being bullied into submission by a new high pressure system as it ekes its way towards the bay. That frontal system, which would have given us three to four days relief has stalled, is losing intensity and it looks like we may be lucky if we get a day or more respite from this heat. If the high pressure system has its way, and so far it looks like it will, we’re in for a very hot dry later half to this week in Byron Bay. If this comes to pass, it’s starting to look like bushfire and heatstroke weather is on the way. So be mindful of what you do with smoke butts, don’t leave glass lying around in the sun, wear hats and cover the back of your neck. Get wet and stay in the shade. We should get a break tomorrow, but after that all signs thus far are pointing to a possible prolonged period of pretty high temperatures. I hope I’m reading the maps wrong, but if not, be aware, carry water and stay cool, In Byron Bay Today.

Hello there Huey

Nice morning, but lookin’ very small

Dee Why: Noon update

Weird. Stiff WSW winds, cool, clear air–feels more like mid-autumn than summer today. Nevertheless, there is a small, clean wave at Dee Why but already thoroughly crowded. Looks like the westerlies are going to stick around for a few days as well and if models are correct, we’ll see a boost in swell by Wednesday too.

Cheers,

Rob

Maybe some clean up surf in the morning?

looks like our 4-5 foot storm waves will drop throught monday, but in the morning there may be some opportunity to catch a few if you do not mind the water temp at 45 degrees.
