Another waiting day, but not just another day
Hello Friends, A grim morning for your correspondent given events in the USA. But you didn’t come here for my thoughts on that, so on with the report, and we’re facing another day of extremely marginal to flat conditions at Dee Why. There’s a lot of moisture in the air so skies are hazy and […]
Initial thoughts on the American election
Last night I spent hours talking with mates in California as the final nails were pounded into the coffin of Democrats’ hopes. We’re all on the progressive side, so it was not a fun chat. My childhood friend Peter is an American history expert and his take was that this is without precedent in the […]
Quiet and grey morning at Dee Why
Hello Friends, What a dull old morning. A good one to be headed off to work or school really. As of 0630 Dee Why was flat, choppy and sideshore thanks to the SSW wind. The MHL buoy was picking up about a metre of 6-sec bump from the SSE and wind was coming from the […]
Fallen in a heap
Hello Firends, North East, 1.3 m and 7 seconds. Not good for Dee Why and only marginal at NE magnets. Yesterday’s liney south well is but a memory. Wind was coming from the NNW when I tapped these words out at 0630. The Bureau says it’ll be southerly from around midday but there’s not much […]
Still some sets
Crowded and sideshow and a little too south but some head high options rolling in at Dee Why point this morning
Swell still firing for Monday morning
Hello Friends, Good news on the swell front this morning. It didn’t drop as much overnight as had been predicted and as of 0630 there were head plus sets at the point and much the same up the beach. The latter however appeared to be shutting down just as relentlessly as yesterday. According to the […]
Sunday swell
Hello Friends, Dee Why point and beach were already well populated at 0700 thanks to a set of near perfect conditions. Wind was light from the WNW and the SSE swell was around 2 metres at about 10 seconds Sets at the point were into the head high range on the bigger ones and it […]
Barely there, but there barely
Hello Friends, Swell has faded to almost nothing this morning and a steady NW wind wasn’t helping either. At 0400 the MHL buoy was detecting less than a metre of 6-sec SE wind bump and that means very weak and very small at even the best spots. The biggest waves I saw at 0630 were […]
