Cold offshore little waves on Wednesday morning

Hello Friends, Very cold this morning but the swell’s come up a little and despite the temps there were a few people at the point and one or two visible in the beachbreak at Dee Why. Size looked to be in the waist to waist-plus range. Skies were heavily overcast and there’s an 80% chance […]

Rainy and tiny

Hello Friends, Rain’s lifted, so here’s a pic of the situation. Not exactly booming… Earlier: Waiting for a chance to get a picture once the rain backs off. But, from what I can see, swell is still lined up and tiny. The MHL buoy is showing swell 1.8 metres out of the S-SSE but the […]

Interesting at Northy

An intimate gathering of 35 or so talented riders were competing for clean chest to shoulder high waves at Northy late this afternoon under cloudy skies.

Sunny and tiny again

Hello Friends, You know yesterday? Like that, ie sunny, chilly with a light NW breeze and long but very tiny lines that are really too tiny to make surf. As of 0700 the MHL buoy was showing 1.1 metres of 14-second SSE swell. From the look of the swell models and the Bureau’s predictions, there […]

Little but not flat at Dee Why

Hello Friends, Another sunny cool and offshore morning with little waist high waves to be had. A reasonable crew was on it by 0745 too. There were little waves up the beach, but at least as far as No Mans is concerned, the waves were mostly shutting down. Wind is expected to be light and […]

Saturday you could be better

Hello Friends, Going telegraphic on you this morning… Wind was light westerly early, Swell was 1.2 metres from the SSE at 12 sec as of 0500 Tide was low at 0935 and back to high at 1615. Water temp is on 20C BoM: swell comes up Tuesday morning into 2-3m range – but wind will […]

Just surfable for Friday

Hello Friends, Yesterday’s little swell has largely faded this morning, but if you are really keen and very patient, waves in the knee to waist high range can be found at south exposures. The MHL buoy was showing a metre of 9 second SE bump off Sydney at 0700. First tide of the daylight hours […]

The Goat’s Surf Forecast

The Goat’s Surf Forecast Surf forecast issued Thursday 25 July 2019: Seven day outlook for Sydney: After today’s brief uptick, it’ll be back to smallness again for several days. When the swell starts to pick up a little later in the week from the South that will be accompanied by showers, cold temps, and SW/S […]

Nice lines early

Hello Friends, Chilly, sunny and offshore with sets into the waist plus range at Dee Why when I checked this morning at 0730. There was only one person in the water at the point braving the cold but clean conditions and I couldn’t see anyone north from there toward No Mans. The lines were quite […]

Back in Sydney and this is the welcome

Hello Friends, Just off the big bird from LA (15 fun-filled hours) and what do I find? It’s just as flat as it was in California. Still, the weather is gorgeous and it is great to be home again. This morning’s forecast says we can expect the swell to pick up from the south this […]
