Hot one ahead but no waves
Hello Friends, The Bureau tells us it’ll get to 38 in Sydney today. There was a faint westerly wafting off across the shore, but there’s less than a metre of 6-sec east wind bump out at sea. At Dee Why that means barely a hint of whitewater along the rocks at the point and tiny […]
Grey, smooth and micro
Hello Friends, Have something else to do today? Good. The wave situation is dire at Dee Why. I couldn’t see anything above the knee high mark- if that. Tide was high at 0705, so that didn’t help, but the real problem is the less than a metre of 6 sec east wind bump out at […]
Full and tiny at Dee Why Monday
Hello Friends, Not much of anything showing at Dee Why around 0650 this morning. The wind was around 10 kts from the NE and at 0500 the MHL buoy was showing 1.7 metres of 7-sec of east wind bump out at sea. Tide was high at 0610, so Dee Why looked fat and very small […]
Knee to waist high bumps at Dee Why early
Hello Friends, At 0730 wind was out of the NNE at 5-7 kts and the 0500 data from Sydney’s MHL waverider buoy was showing 1.25 metres of 7-sec east wind bump. Tide was heading toward the low at 1135 (it’ll be high again at 1730). There were a reasonable number of people in the water […]
Tiny and glassy early
Hello Friends, Light wind early and therefore glassy every where before 0700. Waves are around the knee high mark and coming mainly from the east. A few people in the water at Northy, one person chasing bumps at south Narrabeen and a reasonable scattering of punters from Longy to Dee Why when I first checked […]
Little waves for the early at Dee Why
Hello Friends, Light east breeze showing at North Head around 0730, but Dee Why was looking glassy. There were knee to waist high bumps along the beach and, if the crowd hanging around out there’s any guide, there’s something at the point too. MHL’s Sydney buoy was registering a metre of 7-sec east bump as […]
The Goat’s Surf Forecast
Surf forecast issued Thursday 5 January 2017: Seven day outlook for Sydney: Two Highs and a couple of Lows in the coming week mean a mixed bag of wind… (I think I’ve known a couple of blokes who fit that description)…Mainly light winds will at least settle round to NE NNE after tomorrow for a […]
Rainy to start
Hello Friends, Completely socked in with steady rain at report-writing time this morning. The local cockatoo flock took the opportunity for some rain bathing right outside my window, so I grabbed a picture to share. Wind at North Head was 10-12 kts from the NE and the MHL buoy at 0500 was showing 1.3 metres […]
Reminiscing
Photo of world bodyboarding champ Ben Player competing at Whale Beach in winter 2016. It would be nice to see some waves like this in summer.
SE chop at Dee Why
Hello Friends, 10 kts of SE-ESE wind at North Head when I grabbed this morning’s pics. There were a few folks in the water at the point and at Kiddies, but it was choppy and obviously smaller than yesterday’s peak (figure knee to maybe waist). A glance at the MHL data shows the swell’s come […]
