Glassy little lines

Hello Friends, A summery day coming up for Sydney. Wind was light as the day got started and we still have a trickle of waist to chest high mainly east wind swell coming in at about 8 seconds apart. The wind is set to gradually pick up to light sea breeze strength from the NE […]

Get in quick

Hello Friends, As suggested yesterday, Tuesday started out with around 10kts of SW wind and scrappy but definitely catchable SSE wind swell. At around 0715, Dee Why point was delivering the odd head plus section and the beach was popping up a few in the same size range. Water looks extremely dodgy and according to […]

Evening glass off – sort’ve

Hello Friends, After bucketing all day, the wind backed off inshore in the late arvo. Things were biggish and messy at Curly when I went by around 4pm. No one was in the water and it really looked like a case of why wouldja. Over at Dee Why a small crew were messing around in […]

Memories…

It has all been said this morning.  So I’ll take you back to yesterday and a few memories….  Check it out at www.surfphotosofyou.com.au.

Wind? You want more wind?

Hello Friends, RealSurf HQ is socked in as I write this, so pics will have to wait until the visibility improves. The MHL buoy is showing 3.6 metres of 9 second SE swell and wind is out of the south at anywhere from 15 to 30 kts along the Sydney coast. The Bureau says it […]

Windy n Wild

So yesterday turned out better than anyone thought. A few hours of pumpingish surf and then a late increase in swell size. This morning it’s still big. Maybe 6 foot sets but only a couple of chargers braving the wind at the bigger Queenscliff end and a bunch hiding out down south where Joe average […]

SW early… with waves

Hello Friends, From the MHL data it looks as though Sydney’s getting the best of the scrappy SE wind swell. It’s close to the 2.5 metre mark out at sea, but because the average period is only about 8 seconds, the wave faces along Dee Why beach aren’t much above the head high mark on […]

A little blowing in

The early southerly has cleanish conditions at Manly with almost 3ft of swell getting in. 8:42am high tide isn’t helping but the wind will swing around more east so it wouldnt have been a bad call to get out early.  99% of surfers are south of North Steyne going for the cleaner conditions but there […]

Did you know

After last night’s lightening show we are left with 2ft of SE junk. A brief pre-dawn wind change to southerly briefly made things a touch cleaner but it has crept back around to ugly SE. Girls can head down to Manly this morning to have the RipCurl bikini tour teach them to surf and exercise. […]
