Windy, grey and tiny Saturday morning
Hello Friends, Looks like surfing is off the agenda this morning – unless you’ve got a kite rig or a sailboard. Not only was there a blustery 15-25 kts of SE wind ripping it to bits, but the south corners weren’t a prospect either thanks to only 1.5 m of 5-6 sec south wind bump. […]
Not a lot of surfing going on at Dee Why
Hello Friends, Light WNW wind and tide dropping to the low at 0910 when I checked Dee Why for the first time today at just after 0700. Skies were hazy and partly cloudy. The MHL buoy was showing 1.3 metres of 8-sec SE wind bump and as the pictures show, it wasn’t producing anything of […]
TG’s Surf Forecast
Surf forecast issued Thursday 12 October 2017: Seven day outlook for Sydney: While I was avoiding a seal in the surf here last week, Wazza was swimmng in Hawaii and there was a seal on the beach there… What’s going on??? Huh??? The lifeguards marked out an area around it to avoid an unfortunate incident. […]
Tiny bumps at Dee Why
Hello Friends, Mostly overcast skies this morning and only the barest hint of a wave at Dee Why beach (it was too small for the point). The MHL buoy was showing about a metre of 7 sec NE wind bump as of 0500. Tide was low at 0755 and will be coming into a high […]
Extreme dedication required
Hello Friends, Stopped by Long Reef this morning and as the pictures show, it’s not really a surf day out there. Along with the drizzly heavy overcast, the surf situation is dire. And, from the look of the forecast (see below) we’re not likely to see any improvement today. There’s just no energy in the […]
How keen are you?
Hello Friends, Solid overcast, drizzle and light SSE wind combined with a much faded SE swell to paint a less than appetizing picture at Dee Why. There were a few hardy types in the water at the point when I grabbed the pictures, but it looked pretty sad. I waited for a set to show […]
Waves for Monday morning
Hello Friends, Chest plus sets for the early session at Dee Why point this morning. Tide’s coming into the 1.8 m high at 1135 but wind was light for the first shift. At 0500 the swell was 1.8 m coming from the SE at 11 seconds apart. From the Bureau’s modelling, it looks as though […]
PICS: Sunday 08/10/17 Curl Curl
Stopped by Curl Curl Sunday around 0830 and stayed for an hour to shoot people catching some fun looking waves along the middle part of the beach. You can see the whole 246-picture gallery here.
Curly around 0900
Roughly 130 people in the water from one end to the other at Curl Curl this morning. Quite consistent too. Waves often getting out but heaps of shoulder high sets in the mix. Surface a little ruffled out to sea but inshore was smooth in a light offshore under broken high overcast skies.
Cool start but waves at SE spots
Hello Friends, A chill in the air as Saturday kicked off. The skies were mostly cloudy but the wind was light and the ocean surface smooth. Swell perked overnight as expected and while you probably couldn’t surf anywhere from Collaroy to Narrabeen (too small and tide too high) there were waist to shoulder high sets […]
