Postcards: Little waves at Lennox this morning

Nice morning in Lennox Head. Looks like chest high plus on sets out at the reefs and waist to chest up at the point. You’ve got close to 2 metres of 10 sec south swell in Sydney, while we’re probably closer to 1.5 metres up this way. Sydney’s in for a sunny day with light […]

On the road

Getting close to beach … wonder if there are any waves…

Postcards from Crescent Head

Spent the day driving through the showery grey weather and arrived at Crescent right on dusk. Happily there were waves, so I’m being cautiously hopeful about tomorrow morning… set faces at the top of the point were briefly into the head high range on takeoff, however the sets were few and far between for the […]

Only tiny waves for Mum this morning

Hello Friends, Sorry surfin’ mums, you deserve better waves than this. The 1 metre swell is coming from the east at about 10 seconds and wind was ESE at around 9-10 kts. Dee Why was showing knee to maybe thigh high sets as we headed to a 1.4 m high tide at 1030. Wind should […]

Small but not flat early

Hello Friends, Pushing the limits of surfability this morning. The MHL buoy was picking up a metre of 10-sec east wind bump at 0500. That’s down a foot or so from yesterday – which was already pretty marginal. At daybreak the wind was faintly from the west and the tide was filling in on its […]

Cogged down but not yet flat

Hello Friends, Light shower falling when I grabbed this morning’s pics of Dee Why. High tide’s at 0910 and although it’s a 1.4m peak, when combined with the weak swell, the results are pretty feeble looking. Sets look to be waist and a bit – maybe. Swell is out of the SE and was showing […]

Curly sets waist to chest plus

Just checked out curly and grabbed a few snaps. Very much affected by the high tide. Most waves are good for a couple of turns before they fade out or shut down. Lotsa folk in the water.

The Goat’s Surf Forecast

Surf forecast issued Thursday 11 May 2017: Seven day outlook for Sydney: Should still be some waves tomorrow similar to today’s conditions, then easing back to smaller all week but enough of a wave to ride on most days.  If you decide to go for a dip swimming don’t be fooled by small wave size….watch out […]

Hello Friends, Had a chance to be in Dee Why before report writing time, so a few extra pictures for you this morning. Conditions were beautiful too. Light offshores, waist to shoulder high faces (it’s SSE 1.5m at 10 sec), sunny skies… pretty busy, but not crazily so and I reckon it could be better […]
