Sunny, offshore, small and cold
Hello Friends, A little trickle of SSW swell showing this morning. Again we have brilliant blue skies and cold offshore wind, so you’ll want to be rugged up for the early. Swell is about 1.3 metres and has an average period of 6 seconds. Tide is high at 0810 and then back to low a […]
The winds of August blow hard
Hello Friends, The MHL buoy data is showing a couple metres of south wind swell, but the average period is just 6 seconds – and that means flatness for us. Wind was light inshore as the day got started, but offshore, the wide dark plain of the sea is speckled with white horses. The Bureau […]
Sunday oh Sunday, why no surf?
Hello Friends, Not much going on this morning as a fading and already tiny SE swell dribbled into the northern beaches on a beautiful Sunday morning. Knee to waist high on the biggest ones at exposed stretches. Wind should be NW all day. Wasn’t too bad for the morning crew, but should get stronger this […]

Not so nice
Hello Friends, If you didn’t get up for the early, no need to fret; there really wasn’t anything going on at Dee Why. As the day got started, we had light NNE wind and about 1.5 metres of short period NE wind swell. Not the combo for Dee Why, but just maybe there’d be a […]

One wave for ya
Hello Friends, I grabbed the mal and wandered down to Long Reef to see if I could jag a few before the wind got up. I arrived just after the tide turned. There were just a few folk out and the waits between the sets were pretty long. Still, I did manage to catch a […]
Little lines for the early
Hello Friends, Not much happening this morning, but at least there’s a little something for the keen. At 0700, Dee Why was showing sets into the waist high plus range along the beach – but nothing at the point. The MHL buoy data indicates a SSE swell of about a metre with an average period […]
Flat in the morning, maybe something later
Hello Friends, Just plain flat this morning thanks to a powering SW wind and no swell to speak of. The forecast tells us that the south swell should start to push in later this morning, but so far I don’t see anything much down south of us yet. Tide’s high at about 1435, so if […]
Work day, school day, no surf day
Hello Friends, No energy to speak of in our local patch of the ocean. The MHL’s Sydney directional spectra chart is showing just the faintest hint of activity coming toward us from the south. But it’s under a metre on average and only 8 seconds apart. It’s a beautiful morning though! There’s no real prospect […]
