Very small on Monday morning
Hello Friends, Light NNW wind, sunny skies, but very tiny looking at Dee Why. Couldn’t see anyone in the water. A quick scan of the cams shows that you might get a knee high dribbler elsewhere thanks to the 1 metre 9-sec east wind bump. Take a very floaty object and an optimistic attitude if […]
Warm start on a day of tiny waves
Hello Friends, A light easterly breeze was wafting across the beaches at 0730 this morning. There didn’t seem to be much energy down at Dee Why though. I couldn’t see anyone in the water at the point or up the beach. The MHL buoy was seeing 1.1 m of 11-sec SE swell. Tide is low […]
So-so Saturday
Hello Friends, The odd sunny break as Saturday got started. Wind kept going all night but as of 0630 it was 7-8 kts from the SE at North Head – it should pick up soon though. Tide was dropping to the 0.57 m low at 0730 (high is 1.7 m at 1345 and out at […]

Skies may have been cloudy, so the colour wasn’t too interesting, but the waves were pumping for the early session at Manly beach’s North Steyne on Wednesday morning. Here are a few samples… To see all 300+ images from Wednesday morning click here. See all 300+ pictures taken at North Steyne
Waves for the early session
Hello Friends, The wind is set to swing around from the NW to the south soon and by lunch it could be 15-25 kts. That’ll radically reduce surf options. And then there’s the deep 1.84 m high tide that’ll peak at 1250. So get on it ASAP if you can. Swell was coming from the […]
The Goat’s Surf Forecast
Surf forecast issued Thursday 7 December 2017: Seven day outlook for Sydney: It’s a very busy time of the year… Yesterday I saw every break from the Bower to Pittwater as I drove past them… to do other stuff. Pre-storm they were all the same… A Mess…. with individual variations from A Big Mess to a […]
Thursday late morning update
Hello Friends, Hope you were lucky enough to get in somewhere this morning. What a beautiful postcard of a day. Fun shoulder to head and bit sets were on tap from Long Reef to the point – and lots of other places too. My first tentative surf after my surfer’s ear op a couple months […]
Looking good at Dee Why
Hello Friends, The pictures tell the story. The point looked solid this morning and the pre-work crew were on it. Here are the numbers: east, 2 m, 10 seconds with wind NW 5-7 kt. Tide was low at 0530 and will be a deep 1.95 m high at 1155. I’d say there will be lots […]
Late morning update
Tide swamping it this morning. Pick of the spots looked like North Steyne, but there were waves at the Bower, south Steyne, Queenscliff, DY point, DY beach, south Narrabeen and North Narrabeen.
Swell pushing in on Wednesday morning
Hello Friends, Wind was coming from the SW at 5-10 kts as of 0730. Swell was coming from the north east and the south, but the latter was the dominant note at 3 metres and about 10 seconds apart. Tide is coming into another very deep 2 metres at 1100, so the current full looking […]
