"Stay happy and you'll be perfectly fine" - Jack Norris

Howdy all!

Hello RealSurfers! Rob here — back for a quick visit to RealSurf after a 6 month hiatus. You may have heard: we pulled up stakes from Dee Why in February and have since relocated digs to mostly-sunny Geraldton, Western Australia. It’s been a big change from just being able to turn your head to the […]

Micro Monday at Dee Why

Hello Friends, The first full day of the We’re RealSurf crowdfunding drive and not a wave to be seen. C’mon Huey, help us out here mate! This is supposed to be a surf report and I don’t have any surf to report. Instead there’s maybe a metre of SSE wind swell which is barely registering at Dee […]

Smoky Sunday morning with tiny little lines

Hello Friends, Sunday morning in Dee Why was smoky, hazy, lightly offshore and very small on a rapidly incoming tide. Lots of hazard reduction burning going on around the Sydney basin this weekend and it seems the weather conditions have conspired to trap it more effectively than usual. Not the greatest for some of the […]

Tiny but not absolutely flat

Hello Friends, Swell perked a tiny bit overnight, but it’s got too much SW in it to be getting into many beaches this morning. Dee Why and Longy were just barely showing a little knee to waist line before 0700. With the tide rushing into a big high at 0945, those waves may not survive […]

Dull skies, duller seas

Hello Friends, Well, that’s not something you see every day. The ocean and Dee Why lagoon have roughly the same level of wave activity. The MHL directional spectra chart this morning is completely blank. No detectable swell at all for our region. And we’re in for strong westerlies all day. I suppose if they go […]

The Goat’s Surf Forecast

Surf forecast issued Thursday 22 August 2013: Seven day outlook for Sydney: If you’re looking for a surf…. don’t look here.  August’s westerlies are set to continue and they’re being dragged a long long way from way down deep  across the Bight… so there’s a ways to go yet. Friday: small to nothing Saturday: maybe a […]

South.

Subscribe to SPoY.  There are a few little 2 foot waves around this morning.  The more south facing the beach the bigger the swell.  Wind out of the NW so its offshore with that swell.  Cheers SPoY.

Not quite flat to start

Hello Friends, A metre of 10 sec SSE swell and light winds mixed with an incoming tide (high at just before 0900) to deliver a patient little group of surfers with the occasional waist high set at Dee Why beach. The waits were longish, but not bad and although full, the better waves at least […]

Weds arvo picked up a little

Hi all, Just checked the beach from the crow’s nest and it looks as though the 1.5 metre south swell is coming up with the odd 9-sec period set. The line is quite long, so shutdowns were common, but I did see a couple of chest high wave faces at around 1445. Wind wasn’t too […]
