Clear skies and tiny bumps for Friday morning
Hello Friends, At 0600 the MHL buoy off Sydney was picking up a metre of east wind swell with a typical period of 7 seconds. When I checked Dee Why an hour later there were a few hopefuls at the point trying to get something going with the ankle to knee high lumps. I couldn’t […]
TG’s Surf Forecast
Surf forecast issued Thursday 14 April 2016: Seven day outlook for Sydney: Don’s report today: “The swell’s not inconsistent, but it’d feel that way in the water because our dire bank situation continues. At all three beaches (Freshwater, Curl Curl and Dee Why) the shutdowns were running at about 90%. Maybe we need a Royal […]
Glassy and knee to waist
Hello Friends, Had the opportunity to see Freshwater, Curl Curl and Dee Why this morning at about 0700. As the headline says, it was glassy and knee to waist at all three places. The swell’s not inconsistent, but it’d feel that way in the water because our dire bank situation continues. At all three beaches […]
Little bumps for the keen on Wednesday
Hello Friends, A few little knee to waist high bumps at the point this morning thanks to about 1.5 metres of 9-sec SSE swell. Wind was light and offshore for the early and tide was low at 0730 and will be back to high at 1335. Weather was partly cloudy early. Outlook is for the […]
Swell and southerly rising
Hello Friends, Light S to SSE wind and drizzling skies at Dee Why around 0700 and tide was just starting to come back in to the next high at 1230. An hour earlier, the MHL buoy was showing 2m of 8-sec south wind swell and, as you can see from the pics, when I looked […]
A micro Monday for Dee Why
Hello Friends, Sunny skies, cool, light offshores and a tide coming into an 1130 high made for excellent settings as Monday kicked off in Dee Why. Just one little problem with the picture: swell’s less than a metre SE with a period of 8 seconds. So, as the pictures show, it was struggling to get […]
Smoky and micro Sunday morning
Hello Friends, Still and smoky start to Sunday in Sydney. There were a few SUP riders looking for something, anything, up the beach from Dee Why proper when I checked for the first time at 0700. Size looked to be in the ankle to knee range in that area, but smaller still at the Dee […]
Dee Why this morning (vid)
Shot this clip before 0700 on Friday. As you can see, it was near, but not quite flat. Long boards ruled!
Real small but not absolutely flat
Hello Friends, Ankle to knee with the odd waist high bomb as Saturday got started on the beaches of Sydney. Swell’s a metre or so out of the SSE at a touch under 8 seconds apart. Wind was coming lightly from the west and from what the Bureau says, it’s not going to get up […]
