Foggy start to the last day of 2018

Hello Friends, Weird sea fog lapping against Dee Why beach as of 0830 when I tried to get a picture of the conditions. Appears I’ll have to wait until later on that front, so for now all I can do is report on the data. At 0600 the MHL buoy was seeing only 1.2 metres […]

Little bumps for Sunday morning

Hello Friends, Warming up as we head to a high of 32 along the coast today. Wind was coming from the NW when I grabbed the pics at 0800, but it should swing to north before settling to the NE and ramping up into the 15-20 kt range. There were a few bods in the […]

Puny Saturday surf offerings

Hello Friends, Not as much activity as I’d hoped this morning. Looks to be maybe knee to waist on the better ones, but that may be a excessively hopeful. Wind was NNE 8-10 kts as of 0700, but the Bureau says it’ll be 20-25 kts N-NE by this afternoon. That ought to push up the […]

Are you really keen?

Hello Friends, NNE 11-16kts at North Head as of 0800 under light blue skies. The 0500 report from the MHL buoy showed 1.9 metres at 7.4 seconds from the SE (138°). Tide was low at 0725 and is now filling into a pretty swampy 1.73 m at 1340. Dee Why looked textured from the wind, […]

The Goats Surf Forecast and New Year Message

Surf forecast issued Thursday 27 December 2018: Seven day outlook into 2019: Warm days continuing into 2019. Surf pretty much as it’s been. Continuing short period North East windswell.  Bigger at southern ends of beaches, where the wind will be heading but there are some light wind periods forecast by the Bureau. If you can […]

Warm, sunny and small but not flat

Hello Friends, Another lazy summer morning at Dee Why with little, barely surfable bumps rolling slowly in. Not too crowded and if you were lucky, you might score something approaching waist high. Yesterday’s unexpected little south pulse has faded away. The MHL buoy data from 0600 showed 1.7 m of 7-second east along with some […]

Warming up for Boxing Day waves

Hello Friends, I’m jealous. Won’t be able to surf for another month, and we have fun chest plus sets rolling into Kiddies and the Point this morning. Quality is not remarkable, but as of 0830 when I grabbed the pics, the NNE breeze was a lazy 6-7 kts under warm and sunny skies. Classic summer […]

Christmas warm, sunny with little waves

Hello Friends, Classic summer day coming up for Christmas. When I eventually climbed aloft to grab the pictures from the RealSurf crows nest, the wind was just beginning to puff lightly from the NNE. Skies were clear and in the direct sun it felt like we were already at the predicted 29 high for today. […]

Gorgeous morning along the beaches

Hello Friends, What a stunning start to Christmas eve. Light breezes, sunny skies, mild temps and, despite a big high tide, some waves to go with it. I checked Curly and Dee Why this morning and can report that as of 0820-0830, the former was the pick. Waves at south Curly were into the chest […]

Sunny Sunday and waves hooray

Hello Friends, Beautiful sunny morning at Dee Why for Sunday. Wave faces looked to be in the waist to shoulder high range along the beach – and a bit smaller at the point. The MHL Sydney buoy was seeing 2.9 metres at 9 seconds from the SSE (156-158°). Wind was coming lightly from the SW […]
