Clean and small on a beautiful morning

Hello Friends, The Bureau says the swell will increase this morning and they’ve issued a warning for deceptively powerful conditions by this afternoon. But, as you can see from the pics, as of 0740 it was just catchable at the point and maybe waist high up the beach toward No Mans. At 0600 there was […]

Big stuff all gone and back to tiny

Hello Friends, Three days of thumping swell dried up overnight and Monday morning sees ankle to knee dribble at the point and knee to waist and a bit as you move north along the beach. Tide is filling into a 1.5m high at 0855 and wind was coming from the WNW at 7 kts. The […]

Gallery: Sunday morning, Dee Why

Swell a bit smaller and slightly less consistent, but the beach was firing up more than the day before. Click here to see all 155 images!!

Sunday rocking the crowd for good reason

Hello Friends, Grabbed this morning’s pics right on the 0800 1.5 m high tide. As you can see the point was firing nicely thanks to 2.4 metres of 134 degree (SSE) 14-sec swell. Wind was light and out of the NW at about 5 kts, so the point had a bit of surface texture going […]

Picture taking at Dee Why 

Good size crowd at the point chasing the rideable ones. Solid overhead sets particularly with crew surfing guns. Regular storyboards not always the right tool. Will post a gallery in next day or so…

Dialled up

Hello Friends, At daybreak the wind was coming from the west at a steady 10 kts and temp was about 8 degrees under mostly clear skies. Swell is out of the SSE at 13 seconds and out at sea it’s 3 metres. Along the beaches it’s probably 3 metres on faces at exposed spots, maybe […]

Manly styling

Cold but clean waist to chest sets at Manly this morning. Bit of  a wait for the sets and you needed to be in the spot but some quality sections to be had. Much more consistent toward Queenscliff end.  

Cold and offshore

Hello Friends, Icy wind but heaps of chest to head and a bit waves at the point thanks to around 3.2 metres of 11-sec south swell. Tide was a 1.4m high at 0610 and will be back to a 0.4m low at noon. Wind was coming from the west at 13-20 kts as I tapped […]

The Goat’s Surf Forecast

Surf forecast issued Thursday 20 July 2017: Seven day outlook for Sydney: What an interesting week ahead.  Even if you’re not going in the water it should be fun to watch. Currently 3-4 metres offshore SSW but late today there were waves around 2 -2+ metres or so at places open to the South. Waves […]
