Marginal to micro Wednesday morning

Hello Friends, Almost no wind as Wednesday got started, but it should gradually come up from the east as the morning goes along. Dee Why was very small and weak looking at 0620 when I checked it for the first time. Waves look to be maybe knee high on sets. Waves are coming from the […]

Northy late morning

Out for a bike ride so dropped by Northy for a look. It’s setty and pretty soft and slow looking but faces on the bombs are head high (occasionally). Surface as of 1030 still smooth and crowd was under the 20 mark.

Little bumps for the keen

Hello Friends, Similar to yesterday morning, but maybe a tiny bit cleaner and with a slightly more distinct line. There were a few people winkling out knee to maybe waist high rides at the point, but I couldn’t see anyone along the beach north from there. The MHL buoy was showing 1.8 m of 14-sec […]

Marginal at best for Monday morning

Hello Friends, High overcast and a light SE breeze making for a less than attractive picture. There’s about a metre of 8-sec SE wind bump out at sea and it’d be struggling to be that big on wave faces at Dee Why beach. As the picture shows there were a couple of bods chasing slop […]

Still really small and junky but not totally flat

Hello Friends, Light east wind ruffling the surface from the get-go at Dee Why this morning. There were a few keen types looking for ankle to knee high bumps at Kiddies (it’s too small and gutless for the point).  Outlook is for the easterly to bumble along in the 10-15 kt range all day. The […]

Waist and a bit at NE magnets early

Hello Friends, The Bureau’s forecast (see below) notes ‘Very little change to this pattern is expected over the next few days.’ So, what we’ve got is pretty much what we’ve had for the last week – namely not much. As the pictures show, most places are just barely surfable. The NE wind bump is about […]

Still small and messy for Friday

Hello Friends, The Bureau says we’re almost certain to have showers today, but as of 0700 skies were partly cloudy with no obvious sign of precipitation. Wind was a steady 10-12 kts from the NNE when I climbed aloft to grab this morning’s snaps. Out at sea a few hours earlier, the MHL buoy was […]

The Goat’s Surf Forecast

Surf forecast issued Thursday 16 November 2017: Seven day outlook for Sydney: We’ve had some fab sunny days, but with onshores and small waves. There are some days of cloudy sky, much needed showers ahead and Noreasters are expected by the Bureau till Sunday, when the wind will turn more Easterly again, with onshores right through […]

Another tiny but pretty morning at Dee Why

Hello Friends, The Bureau says it will cloud over as the day goes along and that there’s a chance of a shower later on, but as Thursday fired up, it was sunny with a light NNE breeze. As the pictures show the wave activity was minimal at Dee Why and up to No Mans. I’m […]

Beautiful day but only tiny

Hello Friends, Another glorious day coming up for Sydney but it looks like only ankle to knee high for surfers. Wind was light WSW at 0700 but it’s expected to come around to the NE and be a bog standard summery 15-20 kts by this afternoon. At 0500 the MHL buoy off Sydney was seeing […]
