Clean start to the morning

Hello Friends, Light wind and clean conditions for the early at the point and along the beach. Swell’s out of the SE (141°) 1.6 metres at 10.5 sec. Tide hit a 0.6 m low just before 0800 and will come back up to a 1.3 m high at 1410. It’s going to be a cool […]

Tuesday and clean early

Hello Friends, Cloudy start to the day with the prospect of rain very obvious from looking at the horizon. Wind was coming lightly from the west as of 0730, but the Bureau says it’ll go south to SE soon and by the end of the day will be around to the east. At 0600 the […]

Collaroy-Narrabeen not small

Hello Friends, Checked out the Collaroy-Narrabeen stretch from Mactier Street a little before 0800. There appeared to be a few bods in the water up at Northy and then, apart from a couple of keen bodyboarders somewhere south of Emerald Street, there wasn’t anyone else surfing until you got down to Collaroy. It seemed to […]

Monday and still solid sets in the mix

Hello Friends, Just slinging the pics up right away as I have to run an errand. Will add more details in due course!       Weather Situation A complex low pressure system in the Tasman Sea is slowly moving east, while a high pressure centre near Tasmania extends a ridge over western New South […]

Sunday gallery Dee Why point

Went shooting at the point this morning and grabbed enough shots to make a small gallery to share. It was pretty wild and woolly but there were a few clean ones in the mix…  

Solid Sunday not for beginners

Hello Friends, At 0700 the MHL buoy was showing 3.3 metres of SSE (142°) at 10 seconds. Wind was 15-25 kts from the SSW at 0820 which, as you can see from the pictures means relatively clean surface conditions at the Dee Why end of the beach. Waves were up to double overhead on the […]

Stormy Saturday

Hello Friends, You wouldn’t have wanted to be out at sea in the predawn hours. According to the MHL buoy data the 4.3 m south swell and seas were hitting peaks of 8.4 metres at 0500. Wind along the shore was out of the SW at around 20-30 kts, but Wattamolla was showing 40-50 kts […]

Big but not huge at dusk

Hello Friends, Late afternoon saw overhead faces at the point, but nothing like the crazy bigness happening offshore and up the coast. There were a few people in the water dicing with the lumpy conditions. Wind was SW 10-20 kts and an hour or so earlier the MHL buoy was showing 3.7 m from the […]
