Minimal activity Monday

Hello Friends, A beautiful morning for the start of another work week – and it doesn’t look like you’ll be distracted from your duties by the surf. At least where Dee Why’s concerned, there isn’t any. Out at sea, the MHL buoy was showing a metre of 9 second swell from the S by SSE […]

Very quiet on the surf front

Hello Friends, This morning’s picture tells the story. Even with four on the oars, it was a struggle to get into the tiny waves at Dee Why beach this morning. Not too surprising when you consider the swell was only a metre at 7 seconds from the south as of 0700. Skies were bright thanks […]

Very small but there were bumps early

Hello Friends, Pretty quiet out there this morning. Solid overcast skies and a light breeze from the SSW as of 0630. The MHL data from 0500 showed 1.9 metres from dead south at just 6 seconds apart. So, as the pictures show, it was in the knee to maybe waist high range and very weak. […]

Tiny NE bumps around the place

Hello Friends, A mild sunny morning to remind us that spring is on the way. And there are even tiny, weak NE windswell waves to be had at the magnets. As you can see from the pics, the biggest ones are struggling to get to waist high. Waits are long and rides are short and […]

Smooth but small

Hello Friends, Not much wind as the day got started, so conditions looked smooth – but very small. There were a few bods poking around near Kiddies, but the point was struggling to be plausibly surfable. At 0500 swell was 1.4 m at 11 seconds from the S-SSE (148-152°) and as I write this, North […]

Wind not too bad early

Hello Friends, Wind was only 2-3 kts early but it was coming from the SSE. Looking back at the history, it appears to have faded at around 0530, so I think the light air won’t last long enough for the bump to subside. Swell looked to be waist to chest plus along the beach and […]

Scrappy but the odd sunbeam

Hello Friends, Not the most appetizing morning for a surf – despite the occasional sunny break. Wind was out of the ESE at 10-15 kts before 0700. Swell has shifted around a bit more to the SE (156-160°) and is a couple of metres at 11 seconds. So there is energy, but as the pictures […]
