The Goat’s Christmas Surf Forecast and TG’s Christmas Message
Surf forecast issued Thursday 22 December 2016: Seven day outlook for Sydney: Summer has arrived and just in time for Christmas… I can already taste the turkey, smell the ham, savour the wine, and already feel I’ve eaten too much pudding! ( I heard that person who said you look like you have already!)… Lots of balmy […]
Small grey morning at Dee Why
Hello Friends, A light easterly wind and 2.4 metres of 9-sec SE swell out at sea were translating into surprisingly unimpressive conditions at Dee Why around 0730. Tide was dropping to the low at 1000 and the Bureau tells us the wind will be SE 10-15 kts later. So, pretty marginal, but if you’re really […]
Almost too small to surf
Hello Friends, Very tiny along the Dee Why and Narrabeen stretches this morning. I saw one person frantically paddle into a knee high dribbler just north of the club. They popped up and then fell off the back of the little bump. And that seemed to be a set. Some morning haze around at report […]
Longy Tuesday morning
Went in for a quick sesh between the lagoon and the Pole. Distinctly ordinary conditions. Mostly knee to waist. It was waist to shoulder and much better up in front of the lifeguards but it was also far more crowded. After I got out I grabbed my surf’-of scope rig and snapped some phone pics […]
Swell’s backed right off overnight
Hello Friends, Late yesterday afternoon Longy fired up pretty impressively as 2-3 metres of 13-sec SE swell swept in. This morning sees it very much smaller but not flat. There were a few in the water at the point and others up the beach. The point looked to be in the waist to chest-ish range […]
Longy doing its thing Monday arvo
When I paddled out at about 5 there were just weird fat lines of whitewater. An hour later it was another world and waves were rifling up the beach from the tower. I whipped out my trusty surf-o-scope right and grabbed you a few snaps.
Small lines at Dee Why
Hello Friends, Another mainly grey skied morning for Monday at Dee Why. At 0640 there looked to be waist and a bit sets at the point and chest and a bit up the beach. Surface conditions are pretty choppy too. Wind was out of the ESE at 8-10 kts by 0700. According to the Bureau, […]
Dee Why dreck surfed
Stopped by the beach on an errand just before 10 and grabbed some surf-o-scope shots to share. Conditions were not good but you could get chest plus sets in the chaotic shorebreak and waist plus bobblers at the point. The beach was more consistent but harder work than the point and from what I saw […]
Grey, junky and dodgy looking water
Hello Friends, Wind was 10-15 kts from the SE when I climbed aloft at 0730. According to the MHL data from 0500, swell was 3 metres from the SE at 9 seconds apart. As you can see from the pictures, it was lumpy and junky and the water looked like tea. Interestingly Beachwatch is rating […]
Glassy and waves for the early
Hello Friends, A real window of opportunity this morning with light winds and consistent waist plus mix of south and NE wind swells. There were pretty fun looking (and busy of course) things coming in at Northy for the early. As well you could probably find the odd corner down the beach in close-out land, […]
