Not the nicest morning

Hello Friends, Short period SSE wind swell of around two metres is pushing in along with 20+ knots of SSE wind. Looks like a morning for non-surfing activities to me. The wind’s expected to go around to the east to SE, so there’s no obvious prospect of an improvement today. And just for good measure, […]

Friday Funk

Pretty ugly stuff for the keen Friday dawn patrollers. 1-2 ft SSE onshore junk.  Unfortunately the forecast for the weekend also looks pretty bad with rideable size but ugly onshores.  I wish surf season would hurry up and kick in Mark – Surfboards Direct

Not the greatest

Hello Friends, Really small at Dee Why this morning. You might possibly be able to catch something if you’re equipped with the necessary floaty object. But with sets struggling to make knee high, you’ll want to be very keen. The most recent MHL data from 0400 was showing only the barest hint of 7 second […]

Surprise Sections

The wind that blew hard all night produced some nice 2ft+ sets for Manly this morning.  As the tide dropped after 6:20 the shape looked to quickly improve. Should still be ok for a late morning session despite the seabreeze. Mark- Surfboards Direct

Marginal to nearly not there at Dee Why

Hello Friends, Low energy levels this morning for Sydney. Just before first light, the MHL buoy was showing 1.3 metres of 6 second period ENE wind swell. Apart from a solitary surfer at Kiddies (see the pic below), no one else was in the water at the Dee Why end of the Longy-Dee Why stretch. […]

It’s back to small but not flat

Hello Friends, Nice conditions early. Light winds, clear skies, smooth surface… but… energy levels have slumped since yesterday. You should be able to find a waist high plus wave face if you look around at your fave SE options. But Dee Why might not be the first place to check because the point’s barely picking […]

Not Really

Manly was not happening again this morning. I just saw a lot of waiting and a clubby on a paddle board thing getting the only waves. A little NE windswell bump over top of the slightly smaller south swell. Head out of Manly if you want to surf or maybe wait for the midday low […]

A few more piccies from this morning

Went for a surf this morning at the point and pulled a few frame grabs from my shoulder mounted gopro hero3 footage. Water was lovely, and wind not a factor until well after 11. Sets were around the chest to shoulder mark, but mostly it was smaller than that.

Get it while you can

My photos are being posted late but they were about 7:30am when the tide was starting to drop and it looked a touch better. Early at Manly was tough to find one with the high tide plus all the swell was going past as you can see from Don’s photo’s. I would have gone elsewhere […]
