Micro Saturday for Sydney
Hello Friends, Early risers encountered almost no wind this morning. Unfortunately, the tiny gutless east wind swell is looking awfully feeble. About the best you can hope for is a gentle takeoff on a waist plus lump that will subsequently end a few seconds later as you slow down and sink out as it turns […]
Another warm one coming up
Hello Friends, The forecast says 30 degrees and a 70% chance of a shower this afternoon for Sydney. There was a 1.4 metre bump coming from the E at 9 seconds apart in the wee small hours. Wind was faintly from the NE at daybreak and tide was heading toward a high at 1120. Ocean […]
The Goat’s Surf Forecast
Surf forecast issued Thursday 7 February 2019: Seven day outlook for Sydney: If you’ve been lucky enough to catch a wave… then you’ve been lucky enough to catch a wave! The outlook is for continuing variable wind directions, so there’s not much chance of a swell building. But.. there should be enough movement in the […]
Thursday tiny bumps
Hello Friends, From the look of the various cams early, there isn’t much going on wavewise for Sydney. Wind was light from the northern quarters as the day got started under mostly clear skies. It’ll pick up later this morning as it settles to the NE. Swell looks short period and knee to maybe occasionally […]
Weak and tiny here and there
Hello Friends, Looks like a nice sunny summer morning in Sydney with light NE breezes but only the faintest of wind swells making itself felt. If you can dial expectations down to ankle to knee, you should be about in line with what’s on offer. Ocean temp according to Beachwatch is sitting on 22C. High […]
Back to Cali
Hello Friends, I’ve returned to California for family reasons and so will be doing the over-the-horizon thing through to March. So, here goes… Checking the swell situation this morning in Sydney and I can see that at least where the size and period are concerned, it’s not all that different from southern California. As of […]
Sunny Sunday summer morning in Sydney
Hello Friends, Looks like a beautiful Sunday morning along the beaches. Sadly the swell is a barely there little east-ish looking wind bump. The best exposures, eg Curly, should be seeing knee to waist with the odd chest plus when a couple of the short period bumps double up just as they get to a […]
Drizzly morning for the runners
Curly looking sizable but too messy at 0630Hello Friends, Out for a drive this morning to check it conditions ahead of the ABC 702 Weekend show gig. As you can see, there’s not much to recommend in the way of surf. Curly was a stormy looking mess and the Collaroy Narrabeen stretch was equally unattractive. […]
Smooth little lines
Hello Friends, Went for a drive to see what the swell was doing around 0700 and, as the pictures show, it was clean but basically really small most places. I didn’t see anyone in the water on the Narrabeen to Collaroy stretch, although there were at least plausible looking shories at South Narrabeen. Around […]
