Quiet start to Tuesday

Hello Friends, Fair amount of high cloud across the sky as Tuesday kicked off in Sydney. Along the beaches, wind was around 10 kts from the NW. Swell was coming from the SE at a metre but it was just 6 seconds apart, so I’d say the micro conditions at Dee Why will be replicated […]

Waves to be had

dy surfing

Hello Friends, Only one person in the water at the point as of 0730 and yet, as the pictures show, there were definitely chest plus waves to be had. Couldn’t see much up the beach, but there should be the odd option around the Pole. Water’s pretty likely to be woofy though. Wind was light […]

Small Sunday

dy point

Hello Friends A murky morning with the prospect of rain at near 100% – and not much of anything in the way of a wave showing at the bits of Dee Why I can see from the crows nest. At 0800 the wind was light from the WSW but it should start picking up soon […]

Rainy start to Saturday

Hello Friends, Light rain was sifting down in the hours before sunrise. Wind was lightly from the NW and the MHL buoy was showing 1.3 metres of SSE at around 11 seconds apart – so dialled down a bit from yesterday’s levels. Tide was heading into the high at 0645. Outlook is for wave energy […]

Waves for Friday

dy beach

Hello Friends, Friday kicks off with 1.3 metres of 13-second south swell making itself felt at Dee Why. The point was producing waist to chest high sets at around 0700 (about an hour after high tide) and although they were empty, it looked as though it might even be a touch bigger up toward No […]

A few pics from this morning at Manly, Curly and Dee Why

long reef wave

There were little waves on the dropping tide along the northern half of Manly this morning when I went by about 0900. Not super crowded and definitely a the odd fun one to be had in the chest plus range. At Curly it was similarly more interesting at the northern end and looked, if anything, […]

Little waves for Thursday

dy point wave

Hello Friends, Tide’s coming of an 0500 high as it drops to low at 1110. As of 0600 the main swell energy was still out of the SSE. It was about 1.3 metres and the average period was a healthy 14 seconds. That longish period is likely to mean a setty experience at the magnet […]

Waves about if you look

north curl curl waves

Did the usual run to Manly this morning and on the way back I grabbed some pics to share. While there wasn’t anything at the south end, at long intervals shoulder high sets would turn up for the crew braving the cold offshore conditions at 0830 at Queenscliff. North Curly had a crew of a […]

Looks like a layday at Dee Why this morning

dy point

Hello Friends, Swell faded yesterday afternoon and it looks to still be marginal. The MHL buoy is showing a metre from the SSE at about 10 seconds. Tide’s on the way down to the low at 1030 as I write this and unfortunately there’s not much going on at Dee Why. There were a couple […]
