Clean but fat and tiny early

dy beach surfer

Hello Friends, A pretty morning early. Breezy from the SSW under sunny skies, but sadly there’s not much going on surf-wise. The MHL buoy was showing 1.3m of 7-sec east wind bump at 0400 and a couple hours later when I grabbed the pics it was, as you’d expect, fat and tiny. There were a […]

Fat and full early but still some little waves

dy point

Hello Friends, As of 0700 the wind was light from the north and there was around 1.5 metres of 6-7 sec east wind bump struggling against the incoming tide (high’s at 0850). There were a fair number of bods in the water at Kiddies waiting for the odd knee to waist bump. We’re headed for […]

Smooth early and small waves

dy beach

Hello Friends, Wind faded overnight and first light saw foggy conditions with only a faint breeze. Surface conditions were smooth and there was a tiny east wind swell producing soft knee to waist high waves at magnets such as the area around the pole and Northy. The MHL buoy was showing 1.3 metres of 8 […]

Marginal at best this morning

dy point

Hello Friends, Not the prettiest morning and not much in the way of wave energy, but it’s not quite as flat as yesterday. The MHL buoy is showing 2 metres of 8 sec SE wind swell, so we’re looking at waist-ish at the bigger spots I’d say. Wind was light westerly when I grabbed the […]

The Goat’s Surf Forecast

Surf forecast issued Thursday 27 October 2016: Seven day outlook for Sydney: The big waves came and went.. and with lots of wind changes in the week ahead they’ll still stay went.

Very small this morning

dy point

Hello Friends, Swell’s faded right away this morning. Tide was just coming up to the high at 0700 when I checked it out for the first time today and the MHL buoy data was showing 0.8 of a metre from the SE at about 8 seconds. There was just the tiniest hint of a line […]

Swell fading fast but still a few this morning

dy point surfer

Hello Friends, As expected, energy levels have dropped off dramatically in the last 24 hours. Yesterday we had triple overhead faces on the bombs at the point, this morning looked waist to chest on the bigger ones. Wind was light from the WNW when the pictures were taken and tide was just past the high […]

Longy Tuesday evening session

long reef surfing

Went down to Longy toward dusk to see what was what. Lotta people in the water chasing big and lumpy high tide waves from about the guard hut north. Sets were still into the double head plus range, but there weren’t heaps of long ones. Few bods out the back too… Took a buncha pictures, […]

The Goat visits Bondi this afternoon

Bondi surf

Bondi centre some nice waves on sets…size starting to go down..smaller and harder to catch at North Bondi…great day for watching if you’re not fit and experienced…Don’t try to go out if you’re not!

A few pics from Dee Why point this morning

Grabbed a few shots at the point before the NE’r started to pick up. Sets were still in the 2-3x overhead range, but you’d have to say the quality wasn’t all that amazing. They were lumpy and tended to section a fair amount.
