Curly and Dee Why flat too

Hello Friends You can write off surfing this morning. It’s flat everywhere – and choppy. The SW’ly should kick in this afternoon and by tomorrow be going strongly. At the same time this morning’s forecast from the Bureau confirms what the models have been saying for awhile now, namely that we should see a south […]

Rest day

Hello Friends, Yesterday’s early pulse started fading pretty quickly and overnight it’s now dropped to less than a metre from the SE and the NNW isn’t adding anything useful to the equation. It looks from this morning’s models as though we’ll have to wait until Tuesday for the energy levels to improve again. At this […]

Swell at selected spots this morning

Hello Friends, Most places were too small to surf this morning when I did the daybreak check for my Saturday radio report. But there were solid chest high sets hitting Northy and along the middle stretch of Dee Why beach. Yesterday evening when I was down at Dee Why it was flat but in just […]

Much smaller

Hello Friends, Although swell was showing 1.5 metres of 12 sec energy from the SE at 0500 and tide was low at 0600 and is now heading into a high of 1.45m at 1215, Yesterday’s shoulder to head high sets are all gone. Wind was out of the WNW at 5-10 kts just after 0900 […]

Wave machine on again

Hello Friends, Huey’s dialed it up again overnight and this morning sees 3.5 metres of 10-sec SSE swell piling into Sydney’s beaches. At Dee Why there was a fairly constant supply of chest plus waves which were mixed in with 1.5-2x overhead sets. Wind was a light westerly as of 0730. It’s expected to go […]

Gallery from Tuesday evening at Dee Why

A selection of snaps taken just before dark on Tuesday. There were 30 people in the water at the point and the swell was fading, but every now and then a solid set would roll through and some lucky and or well positioned surfer(s) would score. Click any picture to visit the entire gallery.

Looking good

Hello Friends, Fun shoulder high sets lining into the point at 0700 – and mostly shutting down along the beach. Tide was coming into the 1035 1.5m high. Wind was going pretty hard. At North Head it was WMW 18-24 kts. The forecast says it’ll gradually go more W to SW this morning – but […]

Longy midday

Jumped in at 1030 to see if I could snag any long period sets at the zombies. They were there but lulls were very long so only had five waves. Still a couple were head and a bit and ran at least 100m so well worth the effort. Wind was chilly but water stupid warm […]
