Little bumps for the keen
Hello Friends, Mostly cloudy start to Thursday with a light SSW wind at 0700 and an incoming tide (high’s at 1100) for the first shift at Dee Why. A small crew at the point was chasing mostly knee to waist high waves at the point and various other similar size peaks were seeing interest up […]
South Curly at 0900
On the way to the physio spotted this. Hold that thought Huey, I’ll be back in a bit.
Sunny, light winds and little lines
Hello Friends, Clean little lines coming from the south this morning but it’s only just big enough to make the point surfable and up the beach toward Longy the size is similar (knee to waist) but the shutdowns are frequent. The MHL buoy’s 0500 observations recorded 1.75 metres of 9-second SSE swell and the North […]
Swell swells up overnight
Hello Friends, It should be southerly soon, but at 0700 when I grabbed the snaps, the wind was coming lightly from the west and there was a solid crew on the point chasing the output of a 3 metre, 9-sec south swell. Sets looked to be in the chest to shoulder plus range, but it […]
Flat for Monday morning
Hello Friends, Sparkling clear morning with a steady offshore breeze and, unfortunately, absolutely no swell energy. At 0700 it was impressively flat at Dee Why and from the look of the swell models and the Bureau’s forecast, we can’t expect anything to show up until after the 20-25 kt southerly arrives this afternoon. Even then, […]
Marginal swell but a perfect morning otherwise
Hello Friends, Warm with light and variable WNW breeze as of 0800 on sunny Sunday morning. There’s a tiny 8-second period east wind bump drifting into Dee Why but it seemed to be getting swamped by the 0745 high tide. The Bureau says the wind’ll come around to the west and be into the 25-30 […]
Saturday throws the switch to sunshine
Hello Friends, Had to run the odd errand around midday and since I was out and about I checked the surf again. There sitll aren’t any waves to speak of at Dee Why or Manly for that matter, but both mid to south Curly and North Narrabeen had a few very soft knee to waist […]
Rainy and blustery Saturday morning
Hello Friends, Energy levels at a low ebb as the day gets started. MHL shows the swell as about 0.7 metres from the SE at 7 seconds. I didn’t make the usual Saturday morning picture run because of the steady rain, but I did brave the elements from the crows nest to grab a couple […]
Another day on hold
Hello Friends, Swell? No, sorry. Not this morning at Dee Why. There’s about a metre of 7-sec SE wind bump out at sea according to the MHL buoy at 0500. Wind was light from the SSW as of 0745, but it should be coming around to the easterly quarters as the day warms up. Unfortunately […]
