How it looked Good Friday morning at the point (vid)

Hung out at the beach from around 0900 to 1000 but ended up just shooting a video clip and grabbing a few pictures because I didn’t really feel like joining 25 others at the point or the 100 or so from Dee Why to Longy. Still some swell, so there were waves to be had. […]

Good, Friday waves

dy point surfer

Hello Friends, Swell’s continued its very gradual decline overnight, but Dee Why point and the beach are still seeing head high wave faces on the sets. The latest MHL data for Sydney shows the swell coming from E by ESE at about 1.5 metres with an average period of close to 11 seconds. As the […]

TG’s Surf Forecast

Surf forecast issued Thursday 24 March 2016: Seven day outlook for Sydney: Well there’ll be waves for Easter, but good and bad amongst them… Tomorrow looks the best combination of waves wind and weather, but there may be good pockets at other times… and while the swell is easing back from today there will be […]

Dee Why point clip from around midday

Stopped by the point this morning and decided to jump in for a shot at the odd wave. Got a few, not more than my share, but fun anyway. Didn’t have the gopro with, so after I got out, I shot a short sequence to give you an idea of how it was looking once […]

Thursday and the swell continues

dy surfers

Hello Friends, Very similar start to yesterday, but with slightly less energy than yesterday. Wind was offshore at 0730 and should be variable and light through lunchtime. Swell’s got a bit more east to it as well, so with luck that’ll mean a few more surf options around and the crowd pressure at the point […]

Some solid sets this morning

We were seeing occasional faces into the 1.5x overhead range (on the bombs) this morning at the point. I picked up a shoulder high one with my GoPro rolling. As usual, the GoPro makes it look like knee high. Oh well! You get the idea sorta. Really pretty conditions but because it was one of […]

Ocean full of lines

surfer at Dee Why point

Hello Friends, Swell’s pumping this morning. It’s pretty much straight south and at 0500 was close to 3 metres with a period just under the 12-second mark. The lines were stacked out to sea when I checked for the first time at 0700 and there was a reasonable crew chasing the 1.5x overhead sets. Wind […]

2 vids from last night at Dee Why

Hello Friends, Put this post together last night because I expect to be on the road by the time I usually file. Last night just before dusk kicked in, I grabbed a couple of video clips of the point. Looked sorta fun for the 20 odd in the water, albeit a bit lumpy and slowish. […]
