Where’d the waves go?

Hello Friends, Rest day coming up for Dee Why from the look of things this morning.Swell at sea was coming from 134° at 1 metre with an 8 second period. As the pictures show, it was too small for the point to work and looked to be nearly flat along the beach as well as […]

Clean, consistent and pumping

Hello Friends, Lots of lines piling into Dee Why this morning. Skies were partly cloudy and as of 0600 the MHL buoy was showing 2 metres of 10-sec SSE swell. Tide is dropping to a 0.4 m low at 1235 and the Bureau says we can expect the 5-7 kts of NNW wind to get […]

Surprise we have waves

Hello Friends, Swell ramped yesterday and this morning sees 2.5 metres of 7-8 second south swell lighting up the point and the beach with chest to shoulder high sets – and the odd bigger bomb. As of 0830 North Head was seeing 8-13 kts of WSW wind. It’s set to go around to the south […]

Dull looking start to Sunday morning

Hello Friends, Not the most appetizing start to the day. Grey skies, 20-25 kts of SSW wind and a 2 metre SSE wind swell with a typical period of 7 seconds do not add up to much of anything surfwise. There were a few bods hanging out in the shories at Kiddies, but I didn’t […]

Quiet and grey Saturday morning

Hello Friends, (Sorry for the late posting, having issues with the content delivery network. Putting this up for the historical value.) At 0500 the MHL buoy was seeing only 0.7 metre of SE bump at around 11 sec apart. Wind was a light NNW of 5-7 kts as of 0630. It should pick up later […]

Fading fast for Friday

Hello Friends, Well, that’s that for our week plus of swell. There was a trickle still coming into Dee Why at 0745 when I took the snaps. I’d call the sets waist and a bit. It looked lully too but comparatively clean in the 5-10 kt northerly breeze. At 0600 the MHL buoy was detecting […]

The Goat’s Surf Forecast

Surf forecast issued Thursday 7 June 2018: Seven day outlook for Sydney: Today Thursday it’s eased back somewhat but there were but still some decent waves (2-3 metres, 6-10 sec from East South East) for those with the skills, the endurance and the desire, at the right places. And it looks like there’ll be some […]

Another morning with waves

Hello Friends, Still some swell showing at the point and up the beach. Sets looked to be in the chest to maybe shoulder plus range with the odd bigger one. It’s gone around to the east (113°) and was 1.8 metres at a shade under 10 seconds apart out at the MHL buoy as of […]
