Small waves for the early but wind threatens

no mans wave

Hello Friends, Light wind inshore most places at 0630 and a few little scraps of yesterday’s SSE swell at the magnets. But the NE’r is coming. At 0400 the MHL buoy was still showing some near 14-sec period SSE stuff and that was periodically delivering waist to chest wave faces at spots like No Mans, […]

Dropping but glassy and fun looking this morning

dy beach

Hello Friends, At 0700 wind was light and there were still occasional chest plus sets at Dee Why. Reasonable number of people in the water for the glassy little waves too. The wind’s expected to go from nothing much now to light east to SE later. As of 0500 the MHL buoy was showing 1.7 […]

More energy this morning

dy point

Hello Friends, Wind was lightly offshore at 0700 and there were set wave faces into the head high range at the point and along the beach from about No Mans. Waves look to be a bit slow and flabby but that could be as much due to the incoming tide (high at 0925) as anything […]

Grey, southerly and small

dy point

Hello Friends, No obvious reason to rush down to the beach this morning. Southerly was ripping along at 20-30 kts. As of 0500 the MHL buoy was registering 3.6 metres of 9-sec SSE swell – which makes the lack of substantial energy at Dee Why point this morning somewhat surprising. As you can see from […]

Tiny waves for the keen early Monday

dy beach

Hello Friends, Light winds and sunny skies for Monday morning. At 0400 we had 1.5 metres of 7-sec SSE wind bump lapping into Dee Why. That’s too small for the point and just barely into the catchable range on sets along the beach. Figure knee to waist for mals and SUPs and you’ll be about […]

Sunny, weaker, smaller, choppier but not flat

dy beach

Hello Friends, By 0900 the NE’r was beginning to stir and the 8-sec SE wind bump was around 1.5 metres at sea. Tide was high a couple of hours earlier and set wave faces looked to be in the waist to chest range. The wind’ll be coming up to 15-20 kts soon and it looks […]

Waves for the early this Saturday

dy beach

Hello Friends, Smooth and glassy most places as play opened this morning. And there was swell. At 0400 it was around 2 metres and coming from the SE at 9 seconds apart, so although the tide was running into the high at 0610, there were surf options around. I saw a few folk bobbing around […]

Pics from North Steyne

North Steyne

A medium size crew was working a small bank or two at North Steyne around 0840 before the SEr really got into gear. Waves mostly promised more than they delivered, but you could get a few turns in before it all went pear-shaped.
