Surfless in Dee Why

Hello Friends, Hope you got wet at the weekend because there’s nothing much showing this morning. The MHL data is showing a mix of 9 sec period SE swell of about a metre and some tiny NE chop left overs from yesterday. We’re in for another unseasonably warm and sunny day and from the shape […]

Waves on Sunday morning, can it be?

Hello Friends, Go to your fave south spot and go surfing at once. Everyone else is already there, so getting a park may be a challenge. Swell is more or less dead south at about 1.5 metres but with an average period of 11 seconds (the longer period component is more SE, happily). Tide’s coming […]

Combo mix making it messy early

Hello Friends, If I was just looking at the MHL data this morning, I’d be urging you to get out there at once because it’s showing close to 2 metres of 10 sec period SE swell. However, the directional spectra reveals that we have a lot of NE-E chop from yesterday’s blow coming in as […]

20 cent mixture

A mix of SE groundy and NE windswell but at Manly you can only really notice the 3ft NE windswell peaks. Not as good as it could be in these peaky conditions but nonetheless weekend waves are always a good thing.  Wind is supposed to come up offshore throughout the day so I think its […]

Video: Dee Why point this morning with a GoPro

Messing around this morning at Dee Why point with a homemade rig to hold a GoPro Hero3. Kinda sorta worked, but further experimentation needed. Anyway, I cut the shots together with a tune from Dave Kowalski. Have a look and then, be nice to me and go make a pledge for the crowdfunding drive! BTW, […]

Friday fun.

There is a nice little fun Friday SE swell on this morning.  Enjoy and subscribe at SPoY.

End of week rewards

Yep it’s looking good for Friday with a nice 3ft south groundy wrapping in.  A little bit hard to find one amongst the morning crowd, wait and straight handers but a few nice peelers in between and a lot of beaches to hunt out today.  Go surfing early if you can. Mark – Surfboards Direct […]

Waves for Friday, whoo-hoo!

Hello Friends, Quick! Make that pledge you’ve been putting off and then get out the door for your nearest south swell spot because as predicted the waves are here on a sunny, incoming tide and offshore morning. The MHL directional spectra chart shows the main energy coming from the south at about 8 seconds apart, […]
