Postcards from Cali: tiny Saturday

Hello Friends, Visited Ventura yesterday, so came back along the coast this afternoon and grabbed a few snapshots of the non-action. Lovely day though!

Saturday morning and ya got next to nothin’

Hello Friends, Just had a look at surf conditions in Sydney a little before 0700 and waves are just about not there. From what I could see, ‘surf’ was in the ankle to knee high range at best. The MHL buoy was seeing a metre at 7 seconds from the SSE and wind was coming […]

Tge Goat’s Surf Forecast

​Surf forecast issued Friday 28 June 2019: Seven day outlook for Sydney: The Goat is in Dorrigo! frolicking around the hills and hasn’t seen the surf for a week after travelling round the bush (very dry west of the Great Divide ) but he’s got his people in Sydney to keep him in touch with […]

So very small either side of the pond

Hello Friends, My S.O. sent me a phone snap from south Steyne this morning on her way to work. It looks very tiny, but she said there were a few people at the Queensie end. Dee Why was flat and according to the Bus Man, up the peninsula was no better. Looking at the MHL […]

Looked okay at Bungan early

Our loyal busman sent a snap of Bungan this morning, but I was jolting around Santa Cruz island until late this afternoon… so apologies about the tardiness..

A few more postcards from Santa Cruz island

Hello Friends, Looks like Sydney is really messy and not offering much in the way of quality on the wave front today. 10-15 kts of SSE wind can’t be helping matters… Meanwhile your correspondent spent another day lurching and crawling along the narrow “4-wheel drive in low only” roads of Santa Cruz island as I […]

Post cards from the island

Hello Friends, Looks like Sydney surf conditions are pretty bad today. Southerly wind and showers and junky swell as best I can make out. So, thought I’d send along a few postcards from Santa Cruz Island off the coast of southern California where I’m currently helping my brother on a research project that involves drone […]

Short period and windy for the early

Hello Friends, Sunday morning saw offshore WSW breezes for the early and a 7 second period 2.7m wind swell from the S-SSE. Inshore you’d be lucky to see much above shoulder high faces on sets, but magnets might have the odd bigger one. Lots of showers out to sea as I write this and the […]

Saturday surf report

Swell is up – about 3-5 metres offshore but as it’s from dead South most of that is going straight by. Beaches that are open to the South have waves of some sort, say around 2 2+ metreish – while beaches protected from South swell are tiny to small…The swell period is 6.8-9.7 jut under […]
