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

Still in the holding pattern

Hello Friends, Another day of flatness for Dee Why. The MHL directional spectra chart is showing only the faintest trace of short period NE wind chop and the ocean looks like a dark blue billiard table. We’re in for a hot and windy day and the Bureau’s modelling is telling us that as the wind […]

Thursday Perfection but

Another day of perfection but flatness unless you are a keen longboarder. Don’t panic though as there should be some bumps around for the weekend warriors. Mark – Surfboards Direct

Not a ripple to be seen…

Hello Friends, The 0600 MHL directional specta chart shows not a hint of energy in the ocean. Near perfect flatness apparently. But, eyeballing it, I could see a faint little dribbly line at Dee Why. Nothing you could surf though. Not even close. Works for me. I’ve got a magazine looming along with trying to […]

FLLAT

Flat. But as usual Manly has some people trying to surf. Mark – Surfboards Direct

Quick Report

A quick one from the iPhone. 1 foot of NE lines this morning The odd bigger one if you wait Warm enough and clean enough for a desperate mal session. Mark – Surfboards Direct

Grey skies and micro waves

Hello Friends, Tuesday starts under grey skies but worse, it also begins pretty much as it left off yesterday, ie with almost no wave energy. The Sydney direction spectra is showing only a faint wash of light blue showing from the easterly quarters. The average height at sea is about a metre and the period […]

Newport, Mona, Northy microness

Was up in Newport this morning and on the way back, grabbed a few views of the flatness. The view from between the SLSC and the northern edge of the carpark at North Narrabeen has been opened up too.

Looking pretty tiny out there

Hello Friends, Although high tide isn’t until 1030, as of 0700 Dee Why looked pretty full. Not that it matters much because the energy levels have tailed right away to almost nothing. The swell spectral chart from MHL shows only short period (5-7 seconds) wind swell coming from the NE and south. There were a […]

Little NE bumps

A little NE swell is filtering through for Monday early risers. Patience and a long surfboard = a little fun to start the week. The wind is supposed to pick up from the north so get in early. Not much on the charts this week either so take what you can get. High tide 10:36am. […]

Weakening weekend waves

Hello Friends, Beaurtiful Sunday morning as I wandered into the RealSurf wheelhouse this morning. The view from the crow’s nest was more or less what I expected, namely inconsistent waist to chest plusses and many fine folk in the water chasing them. Looks as though the more buoyant your choice of equipment this morning, the […]
