Grey and lumpy but surfable if you’re keen
Hello Friends, Wind was lightly offshore at Dee Why as of 0700. Skies were grey with occasional showers. Swell’s come up as expected, but, also as expected, it’s short period (7-8s) and only about 1.3 metres at sea where it’s coming from the south. There were a few bods in the water at the point […]
The Goat’s Surf Forecast
TG’s Surf Forecast Forecast issued Thursday 22 October 2015 Seven day outlook for Sydney: The current southerly conditions look like clearing pretty quickly and the wind will gradually swing through the east to north east, with another southerly on Thursday…and the changing winds will be relected in the waves. There should be medium to small […]
Zippo at Dee Why
Hello Friends, As of 0700 we were looking at 1.3 metres of 8-second SSE wind swell along Sydney’s beaches. There was also a little 10-sec NNE component, so there were tiny waves in some unexpected places like the south end of Manly where set wave faces were perking into the chest high range. Meanwhile, more […]
Scrappy small stuff at Dee Why
Hello Friends, Interesting looking spectral data on the MHL site this morning. Sydney was getting combo’d with some 6-10 sec NNE and 6-12 sec SSE. Average height was a touch under 2 metres, but I didn’t see anything much above the waist high mark at Dee Why when I grabbed the pics. There will probably […]
Little bumps for Tuesday morning
Hello Friends, Wind was lightly from the NNE at 0800 and the tide had just come off the low (high’s at 1400). Swell was out of the south but although it was averaging around 1.6 metres out at the buoy, the 6 second period means you’ll be doing well to find anything much above the […]
Yep, small to tiny at Curly and Manly
Monday Manly run confirmed the earlier observations at Dee Why – it’s real small, but if you were very keen and patient, the odd little something could be had at Queenscliff and from about mid-Curly north. As the wind comes up from the NE, it could add a little more height to the wave faces […]
Small but not quite flat
Hello Friends, Back in Sydney after the Surfrider conference at Delicate Knobby over the weekend. There were little waves up that way, but you had to hunt around to find ’em because it was basically just short period wind swell junk. Water was comparatively brisk too. As of 0800, wind was coming lightly from the […]
Minor but still catchable
Hello Friends, Heading toward a high tide just before 1100 and about 1.5 metres of 6-sec period ENE wind swell lapping in as the day gets started. Not much wind about early and waves at Dee Why beach were in the knee to waist high range. It might have been possible to get a little […]

Smaller surf as a result, but there will be waves at the right places right tides right equipment. Surf Friday: in the 1-2 metre range North East Saturday: around 1 metre or so North East, before […]
Yay! A little more activity this morning
Hello Friends, The NE wind will be along soon – it’ll be 15-20 kts later – but at 0700 conditions were still smooth and, better than that, there were catchable waves both in the corner and at the point. Set wave faces were into the chest plus range, although mostly it was closer to waist. […]
