Dee Why trying
20 people at the point trying to will sets to appear but the waits were long and the waist to chest high sets for the most part surprisingly gutless. A similar number just up the beach from the club were having at least as much trouble finding something makeable among the shutdowns Offshore and sunny […]
Curly news
The straight south angle of the swell means it’s almost double the size of Manly. Sets are head and a bit along the mid south zone where the bulk of people are surfing. It’s really lined up so most waves are closing out – particularly on the sets. Not sure the dropping tide will help […]
Just barely at Manly
Queenscliff picking up the odd knee to waist high set this morning. You need to be patient though.
Swell perked overnight
Hello Friends, Clear skies, chilly and light WNW breezes on tap as Thursday got started. It was utterly flat at sunset yesterday but overnight the swell jumped to 3 metres offshore. At 0500 it was coming from the south at close to 11 seconds apart. As the pictures show it was around the chest high […]
It’s a lake
Hello Friends, Minimal swell plus days of offshores has delivered us near perfect flatness this morning. At 0700 there was no way you’d catch anything, anywhere along the beaches. There was less than half a metre of 3-second north breeze bump. The good news? This should be the nadir of the flatness according to the […]
Still quiet but…
Hello Friends, This morning sees even less swell than yesterday. At 0500 the MHL buoy was detecting just 0.6 m of 13 sec SE swell. And that means we’re seeing ankle to maybe knee high ripples along our beaches. So, I guess the good news is that it can only go up from here. For […]
Very small to flat at Dee Why this morning
Hello Friends, Another beautiful morning out there as Monday got going. Surface conditions were smooth but, as the pictures show, there wasn’t anyone in the water at the point or up the beach. The MHL buoy was showing less than a metre of 13 second SE swell. That 13 sec period does make me wonder […]
You’ll have to hunt around
Hello Friends, Mostly sunny skies and light westerly breezes as Sunday kicked off. A perfect beach day for Sydney in every respect but one. Swell is a metre at 8 seconds from the south, so it’s up a tiny bit since yesterday. Dee Why however still didn’t look surfable from the RealSurf crows nest. Yesterday […]
Very tiny but not flat early
Hello Friends, Just one notch above flat this morning along the beaches. Basically it was 99% unsurfably flat, with 1% knee high peaks.Still, it was glassy, the temperature comparatively mild and an incoming tide was giving the sub-metre east bump a little help. If you’re keen I’d get on it asap because the outlook is […]
Very small but maybe
Hello Friends, What a beautiful morning along the beaches. At 0800 skies were mostly clear and wind was coming lightly from the north. Unfortunately, in line with predictions, the swell is fading on us. It’s dropped from 1.6 m yesterday to 1.2 m this morning. The period’s gone from 13 seconds to 9 and the […]
