C’mon Huey, what’s this?
Posted on February 4th, 2010 in Big Picture, Dee Why, North Narrabeen, South Narrabeen.Hello Friends,
Last night as we went in for our monthly Surfrider meeting, a group of us stood in the late evening light watching a very crowded but juicy Northy. At some point in the previous four hours it had gone from weak and gutless to reasonably intense. Our hopes for the morning were high.
This morning’s swell settings are very similar to last night’s (a couple metres of east windswell at about 9 seconds apart). But… there’s nothing like the quality this morning.
Wind is back around to the east (it was more north yesterday evening), so that’s not helping matters. The Bureau is calling for the wind to settle into the NE, so with luck we’ll see an improvement in the semi-exposed north corners when that happens. The Bureau and the models agree that we should see the swell ramp up through the day, so we’ll be keeping an eye on it.
Outlook for the week ahead is basically for waves of some sort through the weekend. Depending on the interpretation, what happens after that is a bit more up for grabs. Some riffs on the data reckon the east swell could still be lighting spots up with surf options through Tuesday morning. After that it looks less hopeful for at least a few days. The monsoon trough seems to have fired up now, so I’m hoping it won’t be a long wait for another dose of fun.
Have yourself a good one, and if you’re going in for a wave, consider wearing something with long sleeves. The bluebottle count was off the richter last night.

The Goat’s Surf Forecast

Posted on February 4th, 2010 in California, Half Moon Bay, Surf Sessions. Windy wet weather is forecast tomorrow into the weekend, so I got in another surf session before the storm.The sectiony waves made it challenging, but I pulled off three solid rides and re-upped my stoke.
Another winter front coming
Posted on February 4th, 2010 in South Carolina.Despite the warmer temperatures, we have lost 3 degrees of Ocean temperature this week so the water now reads 48 degrees. Strong easterly winds will kick up late Thursday as another rain event moves in through Friday. This will once again generate a brief wind swell that may form ridable waves by Saturday or Sunday.

The Bay Of Plenty, In Byron Bay Today
Posted on February 4th, 2010 in Byron.
The sand is on the march, the banks are changing their character with each day and it’s exciting times in Byron for the local crew and visitors alike. I got to admit it’s also been real interesting watching the crowd dynamics since the swell hit. Yet I won’t say more at the moment as we’ll be publishing the best of the letters on Byron Bay surf safety that we received this weekend. So I’ll save any comment until then. It’s been interesting watching with a renewed interest in crowd dynamics, I’ve noticed a few interesting patterns emerge while watching everyone hustle for their fair share. In the mean time if anybody else has something they’d like to say on the surf safety issue you’ve only got a few days left to pipe up. We saw a bit more easterly in the wind today and more south in the swell, it was a little lumpier and hitting some banks at weird angles, but once again there was much on offer in the bay of plenty, In Byron Bay Today.
