Is that you summer?
Hello Friends, Looks like a breezy sort of day coming up. The Bureau is calling for NW 15 -25kts, turning W 20-25 kts. Sadly, we don’t have a strong winter swell to deal with it. Instead we’re looking at 7 second period NE wind swell of about a metre. Very summery looking on that front. […]
Can be fun
So this is what summer was like. You forget the crap we think is good in summer. 2 foot or so of NE windswell can be fun at Manly but after groomed perfection the only good thing is the mild mid-winter temperatures. I still associate it with surfing fun though so get out while it […]
Swell from NE but small
Hello Friends, The MHL buoy spectral data is showing a very distinct NE origin for the little wind swell showing along our beaches this morning. Dee Why was delivering the odd knee to waist set, but the energy levels are low and the surface conditions looking choppy thanks to the steady north breeze. As a […]
The Goat’s Surf Forecast

How keen are ya?
Hello Friends, You’ll need to be pretty keen this morning and you’d be best advised to take something very buoyant because the tiny east swell is struggling to deliver much above the knee high mark. And from the look of this morning’s swell forecasts, we’re unlikely to see much of an improvement until maybe Saturday […]
The waves haven’t disappeared entirely
Hello Friends, The faint little ESE swell of the last few days has kind of shuffled the deck (touch bigger, but touch shorter period) with the result that as of 0730 there were sets into the chest range (on take off) at Dee Why beach. Surface looked pretty smooth too. Tide’s low at @0825 and […]

Trickle continues
Hello Friends, Just about nothing left. Just about. If you were patient and had something floaty, you could still get a weak little knee to waist high set wave every now and again at Dee Why. Outlook remains pretty ordinary for the next little while. If the forecast models have it right, we’re not going […]
Tuesday Dark Check
Had a quick check in the dark while waiting for a cab to the airport. Looked a glassy 1ft which sometimes translates to 2ft sets in the daylight. I’m sure the longboard mafia will love it. See ya Friday. Mark – Surfboards Direct
Deceptive Monday
It looked flat but I must have checked it when a bomb set came through as the pics make it look really good. I think there was a lot of waiting but I guess if you got one of the ones in the pic it would be a better start to the day that a […]
