Scrappy Sunday surf

Hello Friends, Light NW breeze chopping up a small SE wind swell this morning at Dee Why. Sadly the period is just 7 seconds, so along with the gloomy grey skies and lackluster surface conditions, the waves were looking very weak. Nevertheless, there were a few keen types scattered along the beach north from the […]

Clean NE wind swell early

Hello Friends, After blowing hard into the late evening hours, the NEr had backed off to be NNE 10-12 kts by daybreak. It’ll kick back up again soon, so for the cleanest surface conditions, you want to hit it sooner rather than later. Size on sets at the best exposures were into the shoulder high […]

Little waves, big climate strike

Hello Friends, A mild breezy start to the global #ClimateStrike day. Yours truly is getting ready to bus it into the Domain with family and friends, so I’ll be passing on this morning’s soft knee to waist high wind swell bumps at Dee Why. Wind was already 8-10 kts NE as of 0800. Swell was […]

TG’s Surf Forecast

TG’s Surf Forecast Surf forecast issued Thursday 19 September 2019: Seven day outlook for Sydney: Still some size there today, though a bit ordinary in places.  Size is easing back today and should be fun size tomorrow morning, then build a little through the day with the Noreaster behind it. Lots of runoff in the […]

More rain keeping the water woofy

Hello Friends, It was a Pollution Possible day at every surf spot from Little Bay to Palm Beach yesterday afternoon. And it’s raining again as I write this a little before 0800 on Thursday morning. As the picture shows, there is swell and there were a few devil-may-care surfers in the water at Dee Why […]

Wild and rainy morning

Hello Friends, 20-25 kts of southerly and rain this morning along the beaches. As of 0600 the MHL buoy was seeing 4.5 metres of SE swell at 10 seconds apart. That’s more than sufficient to wrap around Longy into the Collaroy surf zone as the WRL cam image from 0700 shows below. But, if you […]

Not happening this morning

Caught the early bus from Collaroy this morning and grabbed a snap of the non- action. Swell has faded to nothing but the forecast says we could get a little perk into the waist high range after lunch. Wind will probably be bumping it up in the south corners. Outlook is for ordinary conditions tomorrow […]

Rest day

Hello Friends, Wind was SSE 10-15 kts inshore by 0700 on Friday morning. Yesterday’s surprisingly punchy swell seems to have vanished – in line with expectations. It was about a metre at 11 seconds from the SSE out at sea, but as the picture shows it was closer to ankle to knee high at Dee […]

Lotsa waves this morning

Hello Friends, That’s interesting. Yesterday’s forecasts and models pointed to declining energy levels overnight, but it only looked a bit smaller as of 0700. There were shoulder plus sets along the beach north of the surf club and chest to shoulder plus at the point for the 20 or so already in the water. Wind […]

Fun looking morning

Hello Friends, Conditions have settled down into the waist to chest high range at south swell magnets. Weather outlook is for sunny and SW wind early going NE later. Swell is out of the SSE at 9 seconds with heights at sea close to the 2.5 m mark. There was a 1.3 metre high tide […]
