Dee Why and Longy mobbed

Party wave! That’s the call echoing up and down the Dee Why Longy stretch this morning. As the pics show it’s around the knee high mark up the beach at Longy and maybe a bit smaller as you go south. Wind not a factor as of 0900

Sunny and hot Collaroy-Narrabeen

Hello Friends Out and about without my proper camera so using the phone and binocs rig. Already warm at 0800 and waves are tiny. Collaroy-Narrabeen looks to be knee to maybe waist on the biggest ones. Wind is light for now.

Little waves to be had for the early

Hello Friends, If you were in the right spot around 0700 this morning, you could get a waist plus set wave – but you need to be patient because the wait between rideable sets was impressive. Tide was low at 0545 and will be back to a 1.6 m high at 1210. The MHL buoy […]

Really small but there are bumps

Hello Friends, It looks a tiny bit better this morning than yesterday. There were a few more people in the water along the beach north from Dee Why – which is a hopeful sign – and the weather is sunnier too. Wind at 0720 was coming lightly from the east at 6-8 kts. Waves are […]

The Goat’s Christmas Surf Forecast

Surf forecast issued Thursday 21 December 2017: Seven day outlook for Sydney: Will it be cold? Or will it be hot?? Will the surf be up? Or will it not??? Should I eat a little? Or should I eat the lot?? Should I go for a surf? Or stay in the cot??? There’ll be a […]

Not sweltering but still tiny

Hello Friends, A steady 12-14 kt SE wind was blowing from before 0730 this morning and yet, in the corner at Dee Why it was relatively smooth. Unfortunately as the pics show, there was no sign of significant swell.  The latest MHL data from 0500 was showing 1.2 metres of 7 second SSE wind bump. […]

Hot and tiny Wednesday

Hello Friends, Yep, it’s hot along the beaches too. And as so often happens with these conditions, wave activity is minimal at best. I couldn’t see anyone at Dee Why as of 0700. A scan of the local cams suggests there isn’t much anywhere else either. Good for a swim I guess. Not that it […]

Late morning Nth Narra

Next stops at little Narra and Northy. Same size as Mona and Warriewood but breaking closer to shore and therefore a bit snappier. But rides just as brief.

Mona and Wazzawood

Out for a bike ride so will toss up a few pics as I go. Looks like a reasonable crowd at Mona Vale where wind still light and waves are knee plus but very slow and weak. Not as energetic at Warriewood but similar size. Above Warriewpod bomb set 1030

Ankle to knee at best

Hello Friends, Yet another grey start to the day along the beaches. As of 0700 the wind was coming lightly from the SW, but the Bureau has a strong wind warning for later when it expects 15-25 kts of N to NE. The MHL data from 0400 is consistent with what the pictures taken 3 […]
