Paddle practice day

Hello Friends, A beautiful autumn day along the Northern Beaches but next to no swell energy in the ocean. Out at sea it’s 0.75 m at 5 seconds apart from the SE. The wind is out of the NW 10-15 kts, and it’ll stay that way through the day as we head to a weirdly […]

Soft waist to chest high at Curly

Lots of folk in the water at Curl Curl chasing rather fat and soft waist to chest high bumps. The pics make it look juicier than it was btw.

Manly smallness

Only around knee to waist high on a glassy morning at Manly.

Cool and partly cloudy with small waves

Hello Friends, Swell has faded overnight and now looks to be in the knee to waist high range at Dee Why. There were still a few people in the water at the point winkling out the odd little slide along the rocks. The beach seems to be a touch bigger but of course it’s still […]

Sunny again and getting smaller but not flat

Hello Friends, Swell continues it slow fade as expected. Height at sea was 1.5 metres at 10 seconds from the SE and along the beaches it was about the same, ie waist to chest and a bit. Quality looked okay, but the lack of decent banks continues to make surfing along the beach an exercise […]

Passing showers and waves still

Hello Friends, A few showers around this morning along with 7-10 kts of SW wind early. The wind is set to go southerly, then SE late in the day. At 0730 there were a fair few people in the water at Dee Why and waves looked to be in the chest to occasionally shoulder high […]

Pumping Monday morning

Hello Friends, Overhead sets stacking into Dee Why point and along the beach as Monday got started. Wind was 9-10 kts from the west and out at sea the 2-3m swell was coming from the SE (159°) at 12-13 seconds. Tide is dropping to the low at 1145 and weather should be sunny with a […]

Swell arriving this morning

Hello Friends, As of 0900 the offshore waverider buoy was 1.2 to 2 metres from the SE at 9-10 seconds. At Dee Why the wave faces on sets were around the waist high mark at the point and closer to chest to shoulder up the beach – where they were mostly shutting down. Tide is […]

Hello Friends, Beautiful if chilly morning in Sydney as Saturday kicked off. Swell at sea was 1.2 metres at 10 seconds from 70° (ENE). As of 0630 the wind was out of the NW at 12-22 kts. Next tide is a low at 1000. High will be at 1620. As the pictures show, it is […]
