Sunday good for everything but surfing in Sydney

Sydney: Sad for the next week or so

You can leave the boards in the garage today. It’s just without any element of energy at all. There are couple of sad, desperate souls paddling around at Dee Why this afternoon,  but it’s knee high in the best of bomb sets. Had a go at Curly yesterday and even though there were a couple dozen punters out there it was only barely rideable.  Even worse, the forecast looks as though it’ll stay like this for a week or so.

Surf situation dire

Shire Rpt

Clean little 1 metre swell kicking along down here. Better for big boards though, methinks

1 foot of nothing.

What can I say…  another beautiful day on the Northern Beaches.  July has been great for waves but it is going to finish with a whimper.  Not even that.  There are no waves this morning and if you do find one it will be small.  I ventured from South Curl Curl to Narrabeen and it is knee to waist high in some places and smaller at others. Certainly nothing bigger.  Its longboard territory and you will struggle with anything under 9 foot.  Good luck in your travels.  Enjoy.  Surf Photos of You

On the downward slop.

The swell is on a downward cycle and by Tuesday will see it fairly flat.  Long Reef and Dee Why this morning were about 2 – 4 foot but a bit full.  With the lowering of the tide the swell has also gone downwards to about 2 – 3 foot.  Beautiful day though.  Enjoy Surf Photos of You.

Hello Friends,

Whoops, that server of ours had another hiccup. Guess that’s what happens sometimes when you run on the smell of the smell of an oily rag.

Anywho, here’s the skinny.

On Friday morning the MHL buoy was showing a 1.5 metre south swell chugging along at a respectable 12 to 14 seconds. Where Dee Why was concerned that meant very occasional sets into the chest high range along the beach, and even less frequent bumps lighting up the point.

Wind was light and out of the west to north west early. It’s supposed to be in the 10-15kt range today.

Outlook is for the swell to fade out today, so the plan is get in asap if you can…

Have yourself a top old Friday!

TIDES: L @1230 H @1910

Forecast for the rest of Thursday

Shire Rpt

Sweet morning of sunshine, little wind and little waves. But they’re kinda fat and weak so I’d be packing something with a bit of length (or width)

Sorry I’m late!

Hello Friends,

Sorry about the site being down to begin the day. Seems to happen when I go away for a few days…
Anyway…

How’s your Thursday looking?

Sunny in Sydney but despite the models calling for a little swell today, nothing much was showing at Dee Why this morning. That said, the average period has bumped up pretty smartly down at Eden and Batemans Bay. So, this afternoon could see a little something at south facing spots. I’m certainly hoping so, having been away for the excitement of the last 5 days.

Wind should be light and out of the NW to N today. With luck the swell will start to fill in coincident with an incoming tide from about midday.

Going back to the models, it’s a glum looking picture for the next week as far as surf prospects on the east coast go. The seasons are shifting and the flat spells will probably get longer as we march steadily toward the doldrums of spring. This morning’s batch of forecast data interpretations tells us not to expect anything much above the waist high mark from tomorrow through the end of next week.
