Fat Curly
Stopped by north Curly for a look about 0900. Tide was smashing it and while there was about a metre of swell, the peaks were so fat even the lone SUP rider was having trouble getting into ’em. Still, the surface conditions were smooth and the water is bath-warm, so at least it was nice […]
Waves for the early
Hello Friends, Swell pulsed up yesterday and this morning sees set wave faces at Dee Why point in the waist to chest range. The beachy is slightly bigger on average and it looked as though the setty nature of the swell yesterday evening continues. The MHL buoy was picking up a mix of 12-sec NE […]
Tiny Tuesday start but not flat
Hello Friends, A sunny and very warm Tuesday coming up. There were knee to waist sets showing at Dee Why beach as of 0645 and a few bods were hanging around at the point too, but nothing came through while I was watching. The MHL buoy was showing 1 metre of 7-sec east wind swell […]
Tiny peak at south Curly
Long waits and most of the beach was flat, but every now and then there was a very brief peak at south Curly at 0915.
Tiny line at Dee Why on a sunny Monday morning
Hello Friends, Beautiful morning out there but surf conditions were marginal to near flat. When I first checked this morning around 0715 the waves were around ankle to knee at the point and not much better at the beach. The MHL buoy was showing 1 metre of SSE at 10 seconds. Tide was coming into […]
Waves to be had this morning
Hello Friends, Cloudy and mild as Sunday got started. The good news is that there are waves. It’s not booming, but Dee Why was showing plenty of waist high activity along the beach and at the point. Wind was light early and the tide was coming into the high at 0820. Swell was out of […]
Hello Friends, Light SSW wind for the early, so surface conditions were comparatively smooth. But the wind’ll swing southerly soon and that, combined with a 0735 high tide, means the 1.5 metres or so of 8 sec SSE wind swell won’t be producing much of interest. If you were out early, before the wind kicked […]
Trailing away rapidly but not flat
Hello Friends, Swell’s dropped fairly dramatically overnight. At 0400 the MHL spectra was picking up 1.9 metres of 11-sec SSE swell. There was also a tiny amount of NE component in the mix, but I don’t think it’s of much importance. As the pictures show, it was in the waist to chest range at the […]

Dee Why point, late morning (vid)
Swell was powering along late Thursday morning. It was coming from the SE (mostly) at 3.4 metres with a period of 14 seconds.
