Light SW early but small to tiny swell
Hello Friends, At daybreak the wind was lightly SW. Unfortuately the Bureau tells us it’ll soon swing around to the SE as it picks up to be 15-20 kts later. The Sydney MHL buoy was seeing just under 2 metres at 9 seconds from the SSE – so there may be a few dribbly sideshore […]
Tiny today but long range outlook interesting
Hello Friends, Yay. The Sydney MHL buoy is back. But it’s only showing 1.5 m of 6-second east bump for you this morning. Count yourself lucky if you find anything I’d say. Not that there would be many surf options anyway given that wind was out of the ENE at 10 kts just before first […]
Small Sunday but if you’re keen should be something
Hello Friends, A deep 1.7 m high tide at 0700 means everywhere was swamped for the early. There looks to still be some waist-ish weak little wind bump wafting in, so it’s not totally hopeless. Plus it’s going to be 29 C later, so finding a park at the beach will be a challenge. Wind […]
Bankable this morning
Hello Friends, Looks like a nice morning for a little surf session – as long as you can find a bank. Swell seems pretty straight and in the 8-10 sec range for period. Wave faces should be in the waist to even shoulder high range on the biggest ones. Wind is light for the early. […]
Waist plusses to be found if you look around
s There are waves around this morning with some places getting into the chest high range or even a bit bigger. Surface conditions were smooth for the early risers, but as with yesterday, the swell is kinda lumpy and disorganised. The MHL Sydney buoy’s been offline for a few days now, so I can’t give […]
The Goat’s Surf Forecast
Surf forecast issued Thursday 14 February 2019: Seven day outlook for Sydney: While you’ve been enjoying? warm weather in Sydney I’ve been enduring cold winds coming up from Antarctica. To make matters worse the winds didn’t even bring up any surf where I’ve been. Between the cold air, the cold water, and the .. surf… […]
Lumpy and bumpy for the early
Hello Friends, Looks like a mostly overcast start to the day in Sydney, but there are still a few waves to be had around the place thanks to the 2 metres or so of mainly south 9 second swell. Still some nort. . component in the mix, so conditions are floppy and bumpy with sets […]
Waves in Sydney, but not everywhere
Hello Friends, Looks like head high lines at the right spots this morning. As of 0400 the MHL buoy was showing a combo of NNE and SSE. The longer period, lined up stuff was coming from the NNE and the more choppy mix of short and longer period components were coming from the south. At […]
Longer period swell this morning?
Hello Friends, Overnight it looks as though the 1.3 metre SE wind swell you had yesterday has gone from 5-6 sec to 11-12 seconds from the east. With any luck there’ll be some chest plus faces to be had at optimally aligned spots. Wind was pretty light early and coming from the SW, but as […]
Not much in CA or SYD but…
Hello Friends, A warm (27C) mostly sunny day coming up for Sydney this Monday and then hot tomorrow. 1.3 metres of 9-sec SSE wind swell out at sea early this morning and a light westerly as of 0530. The wind should swing to the north by daybreak or shortly thereafter and then as the day […]
