Sunday sunny and hot but waves tiny and not

Hello Friends, Letter bate nan thever… as we would say in year five. Conspiracy of ordinary life events (breakfast with a friend, errands, you know the deal) sees me missing my morning report deadline big time. Not that it matters much. We’re still at a very low ebb energy wise. A couple of hours ago, […]

Just about flat folks

no mans

Hello Friends, Sunny and only a light breeze for the early this morning. But there’s a little problem – we have almost no swell energy. What we have is less than a metre of 5-sec east wind chop. And that means that about the best you can expect is the odd gutless knee high set. […]

Sunny Friday morning but so tiny at Dee Why

DY beach

Hello Friends, Beautiful morning as Friday got started. Wind was light, the tide was low but about to start coming in to the high at 1415. But, as with the rest of the east coast, there was less than a metre of 6-second east wind bump lapping listlessly along the beach at Dee Why. Good […]

Another foggy start to the day

Hello Friends, Wind was 10+ knots from the NE at 0700 and the Bureau says it’ll ratchet up into the 15-25 kt range later. Lots of moisture in the atmosphere too, so there’s a 95% chance of showers. The MHL buoy was showing a metre of 11-second SSE bump, but there wasn’t much of anything […]

Murky skies and minimal waves for Tuesday morning

dy beach

Hello Friends, Morning fog making the Northern beaches a dull scene, but worse, the wave activity has been reduced to little more than a faint easterly ripple. Tide is heading in to a high at 1140 – not that it matters all that much. We’re in for a steamy day says the Bureau, so it’d […]
