That’s not very nice Huey

Hello Friends, Good day for Sydneysiders to tack into Christmas preps because the beach is forgettable in a big way. Stiff southerly blowing the tops off a trashed and gutless south wind swell. And it’s set to go SE later. Honestly, the less said about today the better. So, thoughts turn to tomorrow, and here […]

Lumpy bumpy bits and pieces

Hello Friends, A bit more bump around this morning courtesy of yesterday’s wind. Outlook is for wind to be north again this morning at 15-25 kts ahead of a midday southeasterly change. Swell is out of the NE at around the 2 metre mark but with an average period of about 8 seconds. That means […]

Little Sunday sloppy surf

Hello Friends, Extremely hazy this morning at 0830. Guess that means it’ll be a humid and warm. Topping at around 32 says the Bureau and chance of thunderstorms out west in the afternoon. Wind should be NE 15-25 kts later – it was already 10kts at 0900. Swell is a disorganised, junky and weak south […]

Grey skies, SW wind, teeny-tiny wind swell

Hello Friends, Really not much of a morning for surf it has to be said. SW wind meant that it was comparatively clean lots of places, but the residual NE wind swell is awful weak and gutless and tiny. You really need an air mat or similar large floaty object (kids’ inflatable wading pool maybe?) […]

Last Xmas Report for Me

Last report from me for a couple of week as I’m off the New Caledonia for a tropical Xmas. Will post some surf photos if we score.  Today has the little NE windswell that Manly is a good reason to live in summer for. 2 foot sets rideable on a shortboard, bit ruffled but well […]

And the wait for waves continues

Hello Friends, If you were in early at NE spots, you might have found the odd knee to waist lumpy bump. Dee Why at 0600 wasn’t one of those places however. Only one or two bods having a poke around in the sloppy and weak conditions. Beautiful morning though for what promises to be a […]

The Goat’s Christmas Surf Forecast

Surf forecast issued Thursday 19 December 2013: Seven day outlook for Sydney: Chill out.. Chillax, relax, enjoy life, stay cool, enjoy the little waves and have fun! Changeable winds (and weather temps) = not much chance for the swell to build up.  So buy your pressies and enjoy your family and friends at Christmas.  Merry Christmas […]

Santa SUPing

Such a cracker of a day there was even Santa having a stand up paddle.  Hardly any waves but if you have a longboard it was worth a float in the morning sun. Mark – Surfboards Direct

Another micro day coming up

Hello Friends, Another morning of essentially flat conditions for Dee Why. However, at 0200 the MHL buoy was showing about a metre of 10s SE swell, so maybe an optimally configured bank at just the right tide would see the odd waist high set wave face. Outlook remains pretty ordinary with the best hope being […]
