Strong wind, not much swell for Sydney

california street

Hello Friends, Not looking like much of a surf day coming up for Sydney. The Bureau’s hoisted a strong wind warning for north going NW’ly 20-25 kts this morning. As of 0200 the swell was SE at 1.3 metres but with a period of just 8 sec. So maybe, if you take something really big […]

Grey and dull but there are waves still

Hello Friends, Uniformly grey skies, light offshores and comparatively mild temps as the day kicked off. Tide was low at 0725 and is coming back to the high at 1345. Swell has decayed overnight but the MHL buoy was still showing 1.5 metres of 10 second SE swell at daybreak. Outlook is for the swell […]

Waves for Sunday morning

Hello Friends, Sunny skies and better than that, a couple metres of 10-sec SSE swell lighting up Dee Why with chest to shoulder high sets at the point and along the beach. Tide’s heading into the high at 1245. Wind was out of the west at 10-15kts and it’s expected to move more SW later, […]

Pics from south Narrabeen this am

sth narrabeen surfing

Stopped by south Narrabeen for a look around 1000 this morning. Lots of fine looking lines stacking in, but the high tide and banks weren’t playing well together. Sets were solidly overhead, but it was hard to get very far down the line, plus they were weirdly fat some of the time. Quite a few […]

Cold Saturday morning

dy beach

Hello Friends, According to the thermometer in my car, it was about 5 degrees at daybreak this morning. Throw in 10-15kts of westerly wind and it was exceedingly brisk. Even so, there were a few people already in the water at Dee Why and at South Narra. Swell’s definitely filling in too. The MHL buoy […]

Looking flat on Friday morning

dee why

Hello Friends, Clear skies and chilly NW wind as Friday kicked off. There’s a gale warning for the Sydney coast, so the wind’s going to pick up into the 25-30 kt range as the day goes along. As the pictures show, there’s really no swell to speak of at Dee Why. At 0500 the MHL […]

The Goat’s Surf Forecast

Surf forecast issued Thursday 23 June 2016: Eight day outlook for Sydney : The Daily ran a good story by John Morcombe this week about ‘The Storm of  the Century’… Not that little blow the other day…but the Sygna storm of May 1974.  Other significant recorded storms are mentioned, but I don’t remember them first […]

Hmm, nice lines there Huey

dy beach

Hello Friends, A chilly 9 at RealSurf HQ at 0700. Wind was coming from the NW at about 10 kts. As of 0300 the MHL buoy was showing 1.7 metres of SSW at 10-12 seconds. However the forecast tells us to expect it to fade through the day. At first light there were a few […]

Little lines hint at something surfable

Hello Friends, Light NNW wind and swell coming from the SSW as Wednesday got underway along the beaches. In the middle of the night the MHL buoy was showing close to 2 metres at 11 seconds, but the swell angle and the wind are combining to keep the energy away from us. That said, there […]
