TG’s Surf Forecast

Surf forecast issued Thursday 19 May 2016:  Seven day outlook for Sydney: Been fab weather, with small surf.  Good weather is pretty much expected to continue according to the Bureau (without today’s smoke haze), but there could be a little uptick in the surf from the South… Surf Friday: starting to come up in the 1-2 […]

Another very tiny day for Sydney

dy point

Hello Friends, Yet another sparkling morning with light offshores early, but no swell. Actually, the height of the swell at sea is up from yesterday, but the period is only 6 seconds. MHL is predicting that the period will improve into the 13 second range later today, plus the swell should start to pick up […]

Postcards from Gerroa and Hyams Beach

Hyman's beach

As I tap out these words we’re somewhere north of Bowral and heading back to Sydney. We last saw waves of any description at seven mile beach (see pics below) . . About an hour after Gerroa we wandered through Huskisson on our way south to Hyams Beach. Neither of us had been to the […]

Postcards from an unexpected road trip south

Sandon Point

Hello Friends, Not quite the day I’d originally envisaged… had to run my Surfing buddy from California back to the airport first thing, so knew Ai wouldn’t have time to get a report done first. Still, I can tell you that it was microscopically tiny at Manly when we went by the beach at about […]

Postcards from Curly this morning

sth Narra

Coffee drinkers at south Narra could watch one of the few surfable peaks in Sydney this morning. Not much quality really, but fun moments were possible with a bodyboard.

Slightly above microscopic

dy beach

Hello Friends, Yesterday afternoon’s little south pulse seems to have disappeared. At its peak it was hitting the 1.2 metre mark with a period of close to 9 seconds. Your correspondent was in the water at Longy and can report that there were some shoulder high wave faces in the mix. But, sadly, that’s all […]

Another morning of flatness at Dee Why

dy point

Hello Friends, Utterly flat at Dee Why this morning, but the Bureau says we can expect a south pulse into the 2.5 metre range over the next few hours. The Eden buoy spiked into the 3 metre range yesterday evening. It looks to have stayed over two metres for about 12 hours. Batemans Bay bumped […]

Micro Sunday morning

dy point

Hello Friends, Back in Sydney again and is it ever flat this morning. I couldn’t see a hint of a wave at Dee Why when I checked for the first time at around 0700. Perfect weather though. At 0600 the MHL buoy was registering about half a metre of 8-second SSE swell. Their model is […]

Postcards from Crescent Head this morning

crescent head surf

Saturday morning saw knee to waist with the odd plusses at the top of the point. Very few of them ran down to the carpark and energy levels were pretty modest, but with a log or similar, you could definitely get the odd glide. Hope to put up another update later…

TG’s Surf Forecast

Surf forecast issued Friday 13 May 2016: Seven day outlook for Sydney: We’ve had some cool mornings but fabulous conditions through the day, with sunshine and light offshore winds even if the surf has been smallish… though of course that has appeal to many players young, old, and in between. The fab weather is expected to continue […]
