Small and lumpy looking
Hello Friends, We have a little, sloppy SSE wind swell washing in this morning. Looking at the Sydney directional spectra, the dominant energy is coming from the S-SE at about 7 seconds apart. It’s a couple of metres out at sea, but the biggest sets I saw at Dee Why were struggling to make the […]

Somebody must have the day off
Hello Friends, I know whose fault this morning’s flatness is. It’s erstwhile RealSurf reporter PB. Yep, he unexpectedly got the morning off and he’s keen for a surf. So, as we all know, that has to mean it’ll be marginal at best. So now you know why we’re only seeing the barest trickle of east […]
Some small activity for Monday
Hello Friends, Another in a succession of sunny, chilly mornings with small waves. The primary direction is NE and the swell at sea is around 1.4 metres with an average period of 12 seconds. Not the ideal direction for Dee Why, but definitely do-able on the sets. Biggest wave I saw was around the waist […]
Small Sunday, but not flat Sunday
Hello Friends, Small ESE swell of about a metre at 11 seconds is delivering the odd chest high set for the patient many bobbing about along Dee Why beach. Wind was light early but is expected to pick up from the north as the day goes along so conditions at many spots will turn sideshore. […]
Are you patient?
Hello Friends, Nice winter’s morning in Sydney. About a metre and a half of inconsistent but very clean – if chilly – early. Wind should be light and variable today and this morning we’re looking at an incoming tide. It’ll be high at just before noon, so optimal surf will likely be early and then […]

Honey Moon
I’m off for a month to go tie the knot if France and honeymoon in the Maldives (tough gig I know) but on mornings like this when the surf is looking real nice you sometimes wonder why we chase waves around the world. The tide ate things up but the sets were looking real nice […]
Smallish but fun looking
Hello Friends, As expected, the swell’s bumped down another notch and moved more to the east. As of 0800 it was coming mainly from the south, but there’s some ESE going on too. It’s only around the 1.5 metre mark at sea, but the average period is 11 seconds, so the bigger ones are into […]
Stuff Up II
Yesterday I forgot my card reader. Today the memory card. You feel so stupid when you snap some shots and then go to replay and nothin is there. Oh well busted out the iPhone and now reporting late. Looked fun this morning and I’m guessing it is still good right now. Maybe tomorrow I can […]
