Not much of interest to start
Hello Friends, Saturday kicked off with a weak little east wind swell of about a metre at around 7-8 seconds apart. At Dee Why it was manifesting as knee to waist plusses along the beach. The point was back asleep again after its brief wakefulness on Wednesday arvo. Wind was light from the SSW to […]
The Goat’s Surf Forecast
Surf forecast issued Friday 24 January 2014: Seven day outlook for Sydney: Well that would be right – long weekend starts weather closes in… we need the rain but couldn’t it do that later… when people are back are work… the weather looks like improving hahaha oh how we laughed… Never mind. Surf – well…keep […]
Dropped a lot but not flat
Hello Friends, Looked like the plan was to hit it early at Dee Why on a dropping tide and before the NE’r picked up. Swell has dropped to about half its 3 metre peak around the middle of the day yesterday. (It always looked raw and lumpy when I checked it through the day, but […]
Midday at Dee Why
A few snaps for you. Conditions were very lumpy and sectiony but there was a healthy crew on the point because it’s the first head plus waves we’ve had in weeks. Not many being made through, but that kinda works for a crowd – everybody gets a chance to eat it after two turns. A […]
Cursed Again
Well finally some solid swell but cursed again by onshore winds. Ugly and bumpy but the odd freak 5ft bomb set amongst it all. Swell is SE and wind is an ugly east so nowhere really to hide. Some more size due for the weekend so dont panic. Mark – Surfboards Direct
Light onshore but solid swell
Hello Friends, Well, whadya know. The modellers were right and we do in fact have actual swell this morning. The MHL buoy data from 0400 showed 1.9 metres of SE swell at 12 seconds apart. Very nice numbers. Sadly, as the pictures show, we had 10 kts of easterly from the get-go and the ocean […]
Drizzly beginning
Hello Friends, Wind went SSE to ESE right after daybreak, so although the swell has perked up noticeably, there aren’t going to be too many surf options around the place. The MHL spectra chart shows the main energy coming from the east at two metres and nearly 11 seconds apart. If only it was sunny […]
Some swell but onshore with it
Hello Friends, Into the grey and showery zone again. Well, the gardens can use it, even if it does mean unappetizing surf conditions. We do actually have a little more energy around than this time yesterday. It came up a bit in the afternoon and seems to have persisted overnight. Unfortunately, along with the drippy […]
QLD Wins
If this low pressure was a waves State of Origin Qld would have smashed us. Pumping sunny waves up there and we get 2ft of onshore dribble. What a disappointment. Oh well, at least its not 1ft? High tide midday. Mark – Surfboards Direct
Silvery start but still tiny
Hello Friends, No point looking at Dee Why with surf lust this morning. It is close to lake like in its stillness and inactivity. Every now and then a tiny and surprisingly feisty looking ankle high little line folds over on the sand, but really, you’d be scratching around elsewhere for something micro to catch. […]
