Smaller by a bit by still surfable

Hello Friends, Looks like the swell’s dropped a little since yesterday, but there are definitely sets still in the mix. The MHL data for this time yesterday was showing 2 metres and now it’s 1.7. So a foot in the old money. Swell’s still out of the SE and crucially the average period is sitting […]

Huey deliveries the choccies

Plenty of Easter Sunday waves at Dee Why – and plenty of takers too! Occasional set waves on the point were head high, though for the most part it was more like chest high at 7am. Over at the beachie the size was perhaps a little more reliable and the crowds were already thick. Around […]

Easter Sunday waves for all

Hello Friends, Shoulder to head and a bit at Dee Why this morning with light north wind under sunny skies. Healthy holiday weekend crowds of course too. Outlook is for the wind to remain variable and light across the day. The MHL buoy shows the dominant swell direction being from the south with an average […]

Surf options aplenty on Saturday morning

Hello Friends, Dropped from yesterday, but not by too much. Super clean for the early with 2.5 metres of 10-sec SE swell lighting up lots of spots from Dee Why to South Narra – and beyond no doubt. Set faces varied from knee to waist at Collaroy to head and a bit at magnets like […]

Far North Collaroy gallery coming

Just uploading about 100 pics from this morning at Mactier Street. 99% heavy shutdowns, but if you were in the right spot there were a few highly photogenic seconds between you and getting smashed again. Images will be online tomorrow… but for now a wee taste…

Good Friday very good

Hello Friends, Light NW wind early and heaps of SE swell ensured that the water was very busy before 0700 when I took the pictures. Sets look to be into the head high range with the odd bigger one. Happily for the crowd, it also seems to be very consistent. The MHL buoy was showing […]

The Goat’s Easter Surf Forecast

Surf forecast issued Thursday 13 April 2017: Seven day outlook for Sydney: Well the wind looks like finally easing up but there’ll still be some sizable waves pushing through for some days yet at places open to the South and even getting into the protected corner, before it too starts to ease back. The Low […]

Surf report

Still some size coming through..cool wind pushing behind it. Not many takers.

Thursday surf on tap

Hello Friends, As the pictures show, we have swell this morning – and plenty of it. Sets are overhead by a bit at the point and by a bit more along the beach. Both venues were rather busy with the Easter Hols crowds. Wind was light WSW at 0700 and according to the forecast should […]
