Sunday glassy and very small but not flat
Hello Friends, If you found waves yesterday, I’d go back for another look this morning because the data from the MHL buoy hasn’t budged. It’s still showing 0.9 m of SSE (151°) at 13 seconds. At Dee Why that means knee to waist high along the beach and at the point – with long waits. […]
Super clean knee high lines early
Hello Friends, A glittering, glassy sea along the beaches this morning as tiny, knee high lines rolled in from the south. There were people in the water from No Mans up to the life guard box at Longy, but it wasn’t super crowded. Around at the Collaroy-Narrabeen stretch the only surfable bumps were at the […]
Slumped to micro on Friday morning
Hello Friends, Looks like surfing is going to be a challenge this morning. Conditions range from absolutely flat at south Narrabeen to ankle to knee high at Dee Why. It’s glassy though! Wind was light SW under high overcast skies and the MHL buoy’s 0600 showed a metre at 13 seconds from the south. Low […]
The Goat’s Surf Forecast
The Goat’s Surf Forecast Surf forecast issued Thursday 11 April 2019: Seven day outlook for Sydney: Not much happening for surfing over the weekend. But if you feel like swimming from Newport to Avalon Beach on Sunday – and who doesn’t? – conditions should be ideal. Conditions for surfing look like improving Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. […]
Smooth and small early
Hello Friends, The odd light shower passing by at 0700 this morning when I had my first look at the conditions for the day ahead. Dee Why was lightly populated; a couple of folks at the point, a few on SUPs patrolling around and several people up the beach toward No Mans. Size looked to […]
Cool and scrappy south bumps
Hello Friends, Looking pretty rough and ready this morning at Dee Why. Wind is still southerly and was 12-20 kts at 0630 when I grabbed the snaps of Dee Why. As you can see, it’s not booming, and the surface conditions make the waist high waves less than inviting. Swell is coming from the south […]
Tuesday faded out on us
Hello Friends, No waves at the point this morning and only the barest hint of a line up the beach – I’d call it ankle to knee. Nice morning to go for a glide on a SUP or a leisurely swim along the beach. It was sunny with a light WNW breeze early, but a […]
Smaller and more inconsistent Monday morning
Hello Friends, Noticeably smaller this morning at Dee Why. There were a few people at the point where the sets looked to be in the waist high range – but pretty infrequent. The MHL Sydney buoy is out of action but splitting the difference between Port Kembla and Crowdy Head suggests it’s about a metre […]
Busy waist-plus Sunday
Hello Friends, Lots of folk in the water on a slightly hazy but sunny Sunday morning at Dee Why. Waves looked to be waist to chest with maybe even the odd plus. It’s about 1.3 metres from the east with a period in the 9 second range. As of 0730, wind was coming lightly from […]
Hello Friends, At first light the wind was coming faintly from the north under a mostly cloudy sky. Swell was around the 1.4 metre mark and coming from the SSE and NE at about 8-9 seconds apart. First tide of the daylight hours is a 1.6m high at 0950. We’re heading for a warm 27C […]
