Extreme enthusiasm required
Hello Friends, Although the NNE’r was still 10-15 kts at 0200 this morning, it hasn’t pushed up anything of interest for early risers. The latest MHL data shows only a metre of 7-sec SE wind chop as the 1.67 m high tide tops out and begins dropping back to the low at 1250. I reckon […]
Knee to waist at SE magnets
Hello Friends, High tide was 0510 and low’s at noon. Wind was light offshore at 0630 and the latest MHL report was showing 1.3 metres of 7-sec SE wind bump. From a scan of the cams it looks to be in the ankle to knee range most places but knee to maybe even occasionally waist […]

Postcards: waves where there usually aren’t any
Huge rains in southern California mean there are some ephemeral river mouth banks in places that never otherwise see a surfable peak. One such has formed just east of the harbor in Santa Barbara on a stretch of beach that almost never sees a wave above a foot. It’s very likely that these conditions will […]
Postcards from Rincon
The day before the big storm, I headed down to Rincon and grabbed a few shoulder to head and a bit waves with a biggish crowd competing for every one of ’em. By the time I got out the sets were starting to push into the 1.5x overhead range. Water was a chilly 13-14 but […]
No need to rush
Hello Friends, At 0540 wind was WSW 15-20 kts at North Head and the MHL buoy’s latest update was showing 1.6 metres of 6-sec SE wind bump. Put those together and you have… a good reason to sleep in. The Bureau’s forecast is calling for the wind to swing south and for wave heights to […]

Waist plusses at east magnets early
Hello Friends, Definitely some activity this morning in Sydney thanks to close to 2 metres of 10 sec mainly east wind swell. The North Bondi pic hints at the potential elsewhere. From what I saw on the cams, it’s looking to be waist to chest and maybe a bit at magnets as of 0630. Wind’s […]
