Micro but catchable Manly

Fat and knee to waisr little glassy stories at Manly. But every once in awhile a chest high one wave set appears to keep it interesting

Little waves for Weds morning

dy point surfers

Hello Friends, The wind was out of the south at 0700 but only a couple of knots. That meant it was relatively smooth from the point up to No Mans. Waves looked to be in the knee to waist high range for a little group at the point and maybe a touch bigger for those […]

Small and bumpy Tuesday morning

dy beach

Hello Friends, At 0645 wind was out of the SSW at 10 kts. Out at sea the long period SSE swell of yesterday has given way to 1.4m metres of 7-second wind bump. That means the point’s off the menu now and the beach looks to be in the knee to waist range. Tide’s high […]

Longy head high and busy

1615 and south swell in the chest to head high range focusing in frontofthe lifeguard box. 40 people chasing zippers but mostly quickly shutting down sections. Competition is intense and no real peaks from there south to maybe kiddies. Dozen at butterbox but hard to tell if any good. Bombing not doing much for the […]

Grey, humid, light chop but waves

Hello friends, A few bods at the point this morning chasing waist to chest plus sets. No one that I could see in the water up the beach, although there were definitely sets. The wind was ruffling it up though. It’s coming from the NNE and will pretty much stay that way all day. Dangerous […]

Southerly smashing it early

dy point

Swell’s kicked back up after weakening yesterday afternoon and as of 0600 the MHL buoy was showing 2.8 metres of 10-sec SSE swell. Tide was high at 0745 and is heading to the low at 1410. As the pictures show, at 0830 […]

Waves but kinda messy early

dy beach surfing

Hello Friends, Light ESE wind early was chopping it up pretty much everywhere at 0630. I’d been hoping for morning offshores to shape up the fading south swell. But no. Sets at exposed locations (eg the middle of Dee Why beach) were in the shoulder high range, so there’s still some energy around. But the […]

It’s here everybody

dy point

Hello Friends, Solid 10-sec, 3 metre south swell barreling into the beaches of Sydney this morning. Fanned by a light NW wind under sunny skies, it looks like the best morning for waves in a long time. Tide was high at 0630 and will be back to low at 1245. By then the Bureau tells […]
