Southerly Monday

Hello Friends, In a hurry this morning so just the one pic for now. A rain squall was coming in as I grabbed the picture, so I didn’t get a chance to really watch the conditions for long enough to form a solid impression of what’s going on. The main thing is that as of […]

Rainy periods and small wavesmoments

Hello Friends Bit of a late start today. Had to get friends to the airport, as you do. So, on the way home, had a look at the beach… as you do. Manly was glassy and very small, maybe ankle to knee for the most part. Couldn’t find a park to go grab a pic, […]

Hello Friends, As dawn broke, wind was light from the SW and tide was dropping to the low at 0755. Skies were heavily overcast following some overnight rain. The MHL buoy was picking up close to 1.4 metres of 13-14 sec SE swell at 0500 – which is more than the Bureau was forecasting. The […]

Smaller than yesterday but not flat

Hello Friends, In a rush this morning so just tossing up a pic for now. Yesterday morning’s fun waves have faded to knee high bumps at the point. I could see a few people up the beach but they didn’t catch anything while I was watching and I’d say, from where they were sitting, waves […]

The Goat’s Surf Forecast

Surf forecast issued Thursday 15 June 2017: Seven day outlook for Sydney: Quick forecast…We know how changeable the weathef has been…so current poutlook is for Waves all week, mostly small to medium, but also with wind at times. The swell is likely to come up from due South on Monday but will mostly be going […]

Oh look, there are waves after all

Hello Friends, Always good when that happens. Figured it’d be smaller again this morning… I was wrong. There are in fact some waist to shoulder high sets along the No Mans stretch and the odd waist high line at the point. Wind was light from the NW under sunny skies. Tide was low at 0615 […]

Low key Wednesday

Hello Friends, As the pictures show, there wasn’t much excitement on the surf front this morning at Dee Why. There didn’t seem to be anybody at the point and the south end but there was at least one person bobbing around up the beach toward No Mans. Size looks to be in the knee to […]

Small and chillly but not flat

Hello Friends, Had a chance to get a close up look at the beach from Long Reef about 0750 and can report that the wind was cold and the waves tiny up at the Long Reef end. But there were cleaner looking options down the beach toward No Mans. Actually got a picture of a […]

Tiny lines again

Hello Friends, Fog over the Harbour and the Hawkesbury this morning but clear skies along the beaches with light offshore wind at 0830. MHL’s buoy data is still off the air, so going by the look of it, I’d say the Bureau’s call for a metre of east looks about right where Dee Why’s concerned. […]

Clean and glassy little waves early

Hello Friends, Surprisingly clean little NE line coming in this morning against the 0925 high tide. Wind was faintly from the SW at RealSurf HQ high atop Collaroy Plateau. The MHL buoy’s haven’t been updated for awhile, so I don’t have solid numbers to go by, but it looks to me as though sets along […]
