Looking clean and fun

Hello Friends, Good settings for fun conditions this morning – although pretty cold. The MHL data is showing the swell has dropped back to about 2 metres at 11 seconds apart and the direction has moved a touch more to the SSE. Tide is racing in to a high at 1010 this morning, so the […]

vancouver island

on tuesday at 8 pm: mildly agitated, but flat, at our rivermouth point  – some churning and swell on the drive down suggested something better, and cox bay, tofino, seems to be offering some new swell, 1 – 3 foot – let’s hope it pushes up the straits – please stay tuned – great new […]

No Photos

Sorry but at the time of writing I dont have my card reader so cant upload my pics from this morning.  A nice swell size has blown with what seemed like a 5 min wait for the 4 foot sets and a 10 min wait for the bomb bigger sets.  Swell is real south so […]

Stormy Wednesday

Hello Friends, Swell came up dramatically overnight – in line with the predictions. As the day got started in Sydney it was peaking at an average height of 4 metres from the south with a period of 11 seconds. There were a few bods having a go at the point, but there are a fair […]

Winter Wears

Still some dead south energy left but it’s backed off and being eaten by the 8:30am high tide.  Next more solid south pulse very close…. Mark – Surfboards Direct

A few little waves about, maybe better later

Hello Friends, Still some swell around this morning, but the incoming tide seemed to be swamping it at Dee Why beach. Sets were approaching the chest high mark, but as with yesterday, there’s a bit of a wait for sets. Swell is mainly out of the south at around 1.3 metres. Average period is sitting […]

Monday Surprises

You could have been forgiven for glancing at the surf and thinking it was flat this morning but a new south groundy is appearing now and then with some nice shoulder high lines.  Photos always make it look better of course. Should show more as the tide drops.  Sometimes you get a pre-pulse with these […]

Out and about

Had to run an errand early and came home via Warriewood, Northy and Longy-Dee Why. As of 1030 the little south swell was still looking pretty lully, but every now and then a set appears and the fun can begin. Don’t be in a rush and I’m sure you’ll jag something!

Perking up

Hello Friends, A metre or so of south swell has appeared this morning in Sydney and where Dee Why was concerned, there didn’t seem to be anyone in the water to meet it. When I climbed aloft to the RealSurf crow’s nest for the first time this morning, it coincided with a chest high set […]

A Sunday not for surfing in Sydney

Hello Friends, Hope you got in the water yesterday because even that weak dribble is no more. There’s about half a metre of 9 second NE wind swell showing on the MHL directional spectra chart, but down at Dee Why beach this morning, half a metre of face would be a bomb. It is a […]
