Busy little waves for Dee Why this morning

Hello Friends, Pretty similar set of numbers from the MHL buoy compared to the same time yesterday (a metre of SSE 8-sec stuff). So, I’d expect about the same surfing conditions, ie knee to waist plus with the odd bigger one and somewhat inconsistent. Surface conditions are reasonably clean thanks to 10 kts of WNW […]

Good day for an election

Hello Friends, Our civic duty calls fellow NSW’ers, so vote before or after ya surf! Take the longest, floatiest option you have because it’s knee to maybe waist and weak as a very weak thing. From Northy to Kiddies and for a long way north and south of there, it is struggling to be surfable. […]

Little waves for Friday morning

Hello Friends, Interesting. There was a waist high peak at Kiddies around 0730 this morning. For the first time in many days, there was a proper crowd on it too. A couple people were at the point as well, but I didn’t see them catch anything. The MHL buoy isn’t looking special either. As of […]

The Goat’s Surf Forecast

Surf forecast issued Thursday 21 March 2019: Seven day outlook for Sydney: Nothing too thrilling on the horizon as far as surf goes. Small to medium mostly and with various winds. There are some times when light winds or slightly offshore are forecast and you might be able to jag a rideable wave.  Otherwise… just […]

Clean but very small

Hello Friends, Smooth seas inshore before 0900 this morning. Waves were tiny – maybe ankle to knee plus with the odd slightly bigger set. Skies were mostly overcast and wind was coming lightly from the west. It will come around to the south later as it builds into the 10-15 kt range. There was quite […]

Smooth but tiny this morning

Hello Friends, Light NW breezes for the early high tide session this morning. Sadly, the already marginal conditions look to have slipped backward. The MHL buoy was detecting just under a metre of 15-second energy from the SSE. It could be that I grabbed the picture between sets, but the fact that there were only […]

Smooth, clean and tiny at Dee Why

Hello Friends, Interesting looking skies this morning as Tuesday kicked into gear. Wind was coming lightly from the west at 5 kts as of 0750. The MHL buoy was showing a metre at 8 seconds from the SE and, as you can see from the pics, the 1.9 m high tide at 0740 is swamping […]

Clean but small for the early

Hello Friends, Cloudy this morning but there were patches of blue here and there too. Down at the beach the surface conditions were clean for the early thanks to a light WNW breeze. Swell was about a metre out of the east at 8 seconds. It was too small for the point to have attracted […]

More rain but not more waves

Hello Friends, 100% chance of rain today. It was drumming down when I wrote this, so the daily pic will be delayed. I’ll try to add something by 1000. Basically it looks to be lumpy and chest to shoulder on sets at optimally aligned stretches. Wind was SW 9-10kts and water quality from Narrabeen to […]
