The Goat’s Surf Forecast
Surf forecast issued Thursday 16 May 2019: Seven day outlook for Sydney: Fabulous weather, fabulous water, and what can you say about the waves?? Sometimes they’ve been ok… sometimes not. The outlook for the week ahead is for mostly more good weather… and mostly more not so good waves. But who knows… with mostly light […]
You could surf this morning
Hello Friends, It wasn’t big, but on the other hand it wasn’t flat at Dee Why as of 0730 this morning. Sea surface was pretty smooth thanks to a light westerly breeze. There’s about a metre of SE-SSE swell at 12 seconds, so when sets arrive they have a little push and the bigger ones […]
H ello Friends, Smooth and beautiful conditions at Dee Why. Sets are knee to waist at both point and along the beach. Quite a wait though. Looks to be pretty similar up the beach at Longy. Light westerly as the day kicked off under partly cloudy skies. Swell has gone a touch more south and […]
My bad, there were waves and here are some pictures
Left early without being able to see waves properly, so under-called it. Sorry! The reality is that magnets like north Curly were producing head high things on sets… Came back with a board to Longy later but south wind was beginning to texture it up and most of the shories were unmakeable shutdowns – although […]
Back to tiny
Hello Friends, Swell down to a metre from more or less the same SSE direction as yesterday. Sets look to be in the knee to waist range at best exposures. Tide was a swampy 1.7m high at 0400 and is now running out to a 0.4 m low at 1040. Wind was a light W-WNW […]
Overnight fade to small
Hello Friends, Yesterday evening there was still heaps of swell, but it was pretty torn up by the wind. This morning kicked off with sunny skies, light wind, smooth surface conditions and maybe waist and a bit high sets at Dee Why. As of 0500 the MHL buoy was seeing about 1.5 metres at 9 […]
Pictures from Dee Why this morning
Clean and fading fast this morning
Hello Friends, Running late, sorry. Swell had dropped since last night and crowd looks only slightly less intense. Wave faces at Dee Why looked to be in the waist to chest range, but there could well be the odd bigger one that I missed noticing when I grabbed the snaps. MHL 0700 report said 2.5 […]
Swell arrives Saturday afternoon
Hello Friends, Cycled down to Manly for Hands Across the Sand action at south Steyne and so got a good look at the south pulse that had begun filling in late this morning. By the time I was looking at it around 1430-1600, the MHL buoy was recording 3 metre heights at sea with a […]
Flat as a tack for the early, but could be big later
Hello Friends, There’s a dangerous surf warning for later in the day, but as the morning kicked off there wasn’t a hint of swell to be seen along the beaches. Wind was already 15-20 kts from the WNW as of 0700, but by midday we should be seeing 25-40 kts from the west. The swell […]
