Swell is here but lumpy
Hello Friends, Grey skies and light wind inshore greeted early risers. As predicted, the swell ramped up overnight and for the last 12 hours or so it has been around the 3 metre mark at sea with an average period of 10 seconds. At Dee Why this means wave faces on the biggest sets that […]
Swell on its way?
Hello Friends, At 0400 the Eden MHL buoy directional spectra was showing 12 second period SSE swell at an average height of 2.3 metres, but with peak seas and swell of 4.7 metres. Wind down that way is around the 30 kt mark from the south. I mention this, because it should mean we’ll see […]
Quiet Monday
Some nice little 2ft SE lines rolling in this morning that aren’t doing much on the early banks (low 7:49am) but are good enough for a longboard session. The swell is already rising down the coast so we should see the start of an increase by the end of the day with some solid SE […]
Sunny little Sunday morning at Dee Why
Hello Friends, Not a whole lot going on at the beach this morning, but if you’re keen, it should be possible to find something to catch. Set wave faces at 0800 were struggling to make the waist high mark. The MHL buoy is showing 1.3 metres of 8s period SE swell, so there should be […]
Socked in start
Hello Friends, RealSurf HQ was fogged in when I first tried to check the situation at 0620. Visibility was around 100 metres, so no pictures to begin with this morning. From the look of the MHL data, I’m not expecting to see much when the fog clears. Swell is coming from the east and is […]

Noreaster morning
Hello Friends, NE’r going from early today. There was some little E-ENE wind swell showing around the place when I checked at 0700 or so. About the most interesting looking spot I saw was (from a great distance) North Curly. Wave faces looked to be into the shoulder range on the biggest ones. Although the […]
Thursday iPhone report
Forgot my memory card so had to try and snap an iPhone pic today. Surf is almost 2 foot on the sets with an early light onshore crumbling things. Rideable if you need to get in the water. Mark
Marginal looking Thursday
Hello Friends, Just the barest trickle of east wind swell showing at Dee Why this morning. It’s about a metre out at sea with an average period of around 8 seconds. Tide wasn’t really an issue at 0700 (it’s high at 1010-ish) nor was the wind a significant factor early. It was coming from the […]
Out the back
I’m one of those guys that sits way out the back waiting for the bomb that never comes. Today they did at dawn but then stopped as the tide turned then all the groms were ripping in the shorey while I floated out the back with the old fart regulars praying for a glory wave. […]
