Marginal but a little something

Hello Friends, Definitely a bit of surf activity this morning. While the point isn’t doing anything there are knee to waist high things as you go up the beach. The WRL cam at Flight Deck was showing a distinctly east component in the mix. According to the MHL data here’s 1.6m of t-sec east dominating […]

Dee Why micro this morning and unlikely to improve

dy beach

Hello Friends, Swell’s about where it was yesterday morning, ie about a metre at 8-9 sec apart from the SE. Wind was out of the west at 0700 but the Bureau says it’ll go NE then north 20-30 kts. At the same time the swell’s predicted to bump up a little offshore. That’s probably not […]

Small lines, small waves

Hello Friends, At 0500 the Sydney MHL buoy was showing 1.5m of 9-sec SSE swell. A little before 0700 Dee Why point was picking up what looked to be the odd knee to waist set – although nobody was in thew water at the time. Up the beach there were similar size options. I grabbed […]

dy beach

Hello Friends, Another beautiful day coming up for Sydney. Unfortunately for DY surfers there was nothing going on at the point and only the odd knee high ripple along the beach when I checked it out at 0720. I reckon the best of the magnets will be in the knee to waist range with the […]

Hello Friends, Sparkling morning with an icy SW turning making a wine dark sea. One of those mornings where every detail seems to pop. Not a lot of surf activity at the Dee Why end of the beach, but there appeared to be possibilities as you went north toward the pole. As of 0710, wind […]

Little waves this morning

Dee Why up closer

dy beach surf

Went for a walk to Dee Why and grabbed some snaps along the way. The point and the beach were chest to head and glassy. Waves were a bit wobbly, but they looked fun – particularly to guy with a busted wing. On the other hand, the water looked truly foul with stormdrain pollution. I’d […]
