Last day of 2015 sees glassy little lines early

dy point surfing

Hello Friends, Lightly offshore at 0700 and waist high waves on tap at the point and along the beach thanks to 1.5 metres of 8-sec SSE wind swell. Reasonably busy, as you might expect, but not completely insane. Tide was low at 0655 and will be back to high at 1305. Wind is expected to […]

Long Reef about 1100 (vid)

Long Reef beach video

A minute of video from 1100 this morning at Long Reef beach. Little waves on tap and holiday crowds under sunny skies.

Sunny skies, light wind and little waves

dy point surfing

Hello Friends, What a nice change. Sunny, not much wind and a few little south wind swell bumps to lure you into the water. Set wave faces at the point were in the waist range and along the beach a touch bigger. But again, the bank situation remains dire and pretty much every wave I […]

Southerly smashing it on Sunday

dee why

Hello Friends, Usual lazy Sunday start for your correspondent. Climbed up to the crows nest just on 0900. Wind was coming vigorously from the south at 20-25 kts under grey skies. Tide’s coming up to high at 1020. The MHL buoy was picking up 2.8 metres of 7-sec south to SSE wind swell at 0600. […]

Ok size at the magnets but…

long reef surfer

Hello Friends, The NE’r was making itself felt at 0700, but there were shoulder plus waves to be had if you were in the right spot at the right time. The combo of 9sec 2.4 metre SE and a similar size NE wind swell was providing ample energy. That said, when I checked the Dee […]
