Postcards from Lennox and Boulder

Lennox Head

After posting this morning’s pics, we got in at seven mile more or less out in front of the pub if you know the place. Swell’d definitely perked overnight and about every 10 minutes we’d see a long, lined up set. For the most part they were in the chest to shoulder high range, but […]

Postcards from Boulder this morning

Boulder Beach surfing

After a quick look around at the options this morning, we fetched up at Boulder beach. Weirdly there were only 4 or 5 people in the water when we paddled out to chase the chest high sets. It got busier later (12-15) but the wind stayed offshore under sunny skies the whole time. A few […]

Seems like it might have come up a touch over yesterday morning when we were getting knee to waist ones before the tide fatted it out. The MHL data shows that swell up our way is getting toward the 2 metre mark at sea from SSE. Problem is the average period is still sub-10 seconds, […]

Postcards from Lennox

Hello Friends, There were blown out shoulder high waves last night, but this morning they’re gone and Lennox is offshore, super clean and so tiny no one was in the water from the point to the far end of 7 mile beach. Off for a sniff around soon, so maybe another postcard or two later… […]

Postcards from Crescent

Crescent Head surfer watershot

Hello Friends, Your correspondent started tapping out this note somewhere between Macksville and Coffs as we were making our way through an apparently endless sequence of roadworks slowdowns. Your tax dollars are definitely at work up this way. Stayed in Crescent last night. When we pulled in an hour or so before dark the skies […]

Grey and glassy but very small on the early high tide

dy point

Hello Friends, Swell, such as it is, is coming mainly from the E by ENE this morning. At 0600 it was about 1.5 metres but with an average period of just 7 seconds. Those settings are pretty close to yesterday’s, so if you managed to find something worthy of your effort then, the same conditions […]

Micro Mum’s Day at Dee Why

dy point

Hello Friends, What a difference three seconds makes. Yesterday the swell was about a metre from the east and this morning it’s the same again. But then it was 10 seconds apart and now it’s only about 7 seconds. So what had been knee to chest at magnet spots is now more like ankle to […]

Saturday tiny style

dy surfer

Hello Friends At 0500 the MHL buoy was showing a metre of E swell with a period of 11 seconds. So we have about the same energy levels as yesterday at the same time, but the swell’s not coming from the SE. Wind at report time was light and west; it’s set to go north […]
