Hot Sunday coming up, waves early
Hello Friends, A faint north breeze under sunny skies as of 080 this morning. Swell’s lost about half a metre over yesterday, but the period is still around the 13-sec mark from the SE and people were picking up waist to chest high sets at the point and along the beach. Busy of […]
Swimming at the Point this morning
It was way too busy at the point for me to bother competing this morning, but I felt like taking pictures, so I went for a swim with everybody instead. Swell seemed to be tapering off and it wasn’t really quite doing it at the point. Still, water is warm and it felt good being […]
South swell Saturday
Hello Friends, As of 0400, right in line with the forecast, the MHL buoy off Sydney was showing some serious numbers. There was a mix of two swell influences, but the one out of the SSE (154°) was dominant with a height at sea of 1.8 m at close to 17 seconds apart. Wind at […]
Overcast, southerly and small this morning
Hello Friends, You’ll want the SUP or a mal this morning to catch anything at Dee Why. Swell was showing 1.6 metres from the SSE but it was only 7 seconds apart, so wave faces were in the ankle to knee high range. Throw in heavy overcast, 8-12 kts of SSE wind and a peaking […]
TG’s Surf Forecast
The Goat’s Surf Forecast issued Thursday 15 March 2018: Eight day outlook for Sydney: Hmm…. hmmm.. not what you’d call straightforward. Lots of things to consider, whirling around in the sky and the sea. Ok how can I put this as something you’ll easily understand ??? OK..I know… You know when you’re juggling three […]
Waves for the early, wind later
Hello Friends, Bit of a late one because I surfed before writing the report. There’s still some swell about (the MHL buoy was showing 1.6 m from 120° at 11+ sec) and the wind was light northerly for the early sesh. Unfortunately the head high sets at Dee Why where I got in were annoyingly […]
Pictures from around about this morning
Thumping swell
Hello Friends, At 0500 the Sydney MHL buoy was showing 2.5 m of 11-12sec SE swell. By the time it was light enough to get the pictures, it was looking solid at the point and on the verge of being too much for the beach. Sets looked to be in the head to overhead […]
Easily missable this morning
Hello Friends, You’d have to be incredibly keen to go for surf this morning. Wind is onshore from the east and skies are heavily overcast. There is some wave activity, but while it’s jumped up out at sea to 2.2 m at close to 11 seconds apart from the south, Dee Why didn’t look […]
Fun little bumps – if you’re in the spot
Hello Friends, Another beautiful morning on the Northern Beaches. As of 0800 there was a little remnant swell from yesterday. It wasn’t as consistent and the size has dropped into the knee to waist range. To put some numbers on it, yesterday morning when it looked like this, the swell had a touch more south […]
