Southerly morning
Posted on February 6th, 2010 in Dee Why.
Hello Friends,
Sydney awoke to a powering southerly and lowering grey skies with the odd shower. At 0645 the wind was 20-30kts and the ocean was not looking too attractive. There were a few bods in at Dee Why point, but the quality was not impressive. The MHL buoy shows that east swell is still averaging around the 2.5 metre mark out at sea, but the average period has slipped a few cogs to a marginal 8 seconds.
Obviously the plan will be to check your favourite southerly spot this morning. But I wouldn’t be expecting those 10 foot faces on the bombs. Undoubtedly a few will still be left in the mix, but overall we’re talking smaller for the average ones.
FWIW, last night the Bureau was calling for the southerly to back off during the day and to swing NE. Now the outlook is for a decrease in wind speed later (but it’s not going to glass off), but for the southerly to stay in place. You can expect rain periods too.
Outlook for the week ahead is so-so. From the models it would appear that we’re in for a steady decline over the next 48 hours. With luck we’ll have a little energy on Monday morning, but right now the rest of the week is shaping up to be fairly marginal to just about flat.
Aw well. Get out there and have yourself a top old Saturday. FYI, I’ll be posting three galleries of pics I shot yesterday at Curly, Northy and Dee Why.

Pics from Friday at Curly, Northy & DY
Posted on February 6th, 2010 in Click! Pics for folk, Don's surfin' pics, Top stories.We had a fair amount of east swell on Friday 5 Feb, so yours truly got out and about with the camera.
I ended up shooting at Curly in the late morning, then North Narrabeen in the early afternboon and finally, at Dee Why point as the sun was going down. In all three cases the swell was dead east at about 9 seconds apart and with an average height at sea of 2.5 metres.
If you were in the water during any of these sessions, you’ll find a link to a gallery of all the pics I took below each slideshow. If you want to buy a shot, just follow the relevant link below the slideshow (prices start at just $12.50).

Ummm waves but not great
Posted on February 6th, 2010 in Manly.Morning – The tide is low (9.18am) and the wind is super strong from the south – 20 plus knots. Surf has dropped alot overnight and the period as well – making things a little weaker than you would prefer. Lots of lulls but still a few decent sized sets every now and agin. Worth a paddle down the southern end of Manly – North Steyne down. Not that many flash peaks and a really strong cross offshore is what will greet you. Water quality should be pretty nasty today I imagine with all this run off. Have yrself a good one.
