Junky Friday morning
Hello Friends, Nothing of interest for surfers this morning between Dee Why and North Narrabeen (and every where else no doubt). 10-15 kts of ESE wind going when I checked around 0815. Waves were in the waist to chest high range at Long Reef but smaller everywhere else. Outlook is for more showers today – […]
The Goat’s Surf Forecast
Surf forecast issued Thursday 11 October 2018: Seven day outlook for Sydney: What kind of weather do you call this!!!?? It’s cold, wet, windy, uninviting, and the surf matches it. Six weeks of lovely warm to hot weather in Europe and assorted places in between and I come back to this! Oh well, six whales […]
Chilly, grey and windy
Hello Friends, 12-16 kts of SE wind to kick off the morning’s beachside activities. More cloudy skies too, and although the swell popped up to 3 metres at 11 seconds from the SSE (158°), it’s not looking too enticing at Dee Why. As of 0830 there didn’t appear to be any people in the water […]
Back in grey
Hello Friends, 20 kts of southerly under dark grey skies as Wednesday rolled into view. The wind is beating up the surface conditions at Dee Why and the swell is still small and weak (it was 1.6 metres at 5 seconds from the south as of 0600). The Bureau tells us to expect it to […]
Sunny skies
Hello Friends, A change from the recent rainy conditions as this morning sees sunny conditions with a light westerly breeze. Sadly the swell has dialled back at Dee Why. At 0500 the MHL buoy was seeing 1.2 m from the ESE (127°) at 10 seconds. There might be a little more energy showing at better […]
Clean looking early with more showers on tap
Hello Friends, 12-15 kts of SW wind at 0800 made for clean looking surface conditions at Dee Why. Another area of showers was sweeping in from the south as I grabbed the pictures. As of 0500 the 2 metre swell was coming from the SSE (148-152°) at 7 seconds apart. The call is for the […]
Sunday morning and waves
Hello Friends, Sunday morning sees mostly cloudy skies with regular light showers, a chilly SW wind and clean chest plus sets at Dee Why point and just up the beach toward No Mans. Around at Curly there were some weak and occasional sets into the same range at the south end. But the rest of […]
Great morning for a little extra kip
Hello Friends, Raining lightly but steadily when I cracked the peepers for the first time this morning. Over at North Head the wind was out of the SSW at 10-18 kts. The forecast calls for it to come up into 20-30 kt range from the SE before long. There’s a warning for large and powerful […]
Much needed rain but surfing is out
Hello Friends, Went out in the rain for a look at the surf conditions and can report that protected spots such as Collaroy are way too small to surf. The exposed stretches were hopelessly blown out thanks to the gale conditions. So, a good day to get on with other things. Rain should slacken off […]
Raining lightly early
Hello Friends, The rain was falling lightly but steadily when I climbed aloft for a look at the conditions. As the picture shows, it was very small at Dee Why as of 0720. Wind was south at 8-9 kts and the latest MHL data from 0600 showed 1.4 metres from 158° (SSE) at an eye-popping […]
