Ultra micro Saturday
Hello Friends, Chilly, breezy, sunny and almost perfectly flat this morning. The only wave I saw ridden was the one shown below. So, if you were in exactly the right spot at exactly the right moment with exactly the right equipment… swell is about half a metre out at sea and wind is out of […]
As a tack
Hello Friends, Nothing happening at Dee Why this morning. Chilly and sunny with 7-10 kts of NNW breeze ahead of stronger westerlies later. Out at sea the buoy was seeing a metre of 10-sec bump from the SSE, but as the picture shows, any swell is being kept away from the coast by the non-stop […]

It’s a lake
Hello Friends, Sunny skies, light NNW winds, microscopic waves and a… gale warning. Yep, that’s right, the westerly should come up soon and it’ll be blowing 20-30 kts inshore.

Zippo at Dee Why
Hello Friends, The Bureau says the swell should come up a little from the east by around lunchtime. But at 0700 when I checked the beach for the first time, Dee Why was looking too small to surf under high overcast skies. Looking at the cams, there are a few waves in the waist plus […]
Swell-less in Dee Why
Hello Friends, It may be 2 m at 10 seconds from the south out at sea, but as far as Dee Why’s concerned, it’s just about flat. The only person I could see in the 18C water from the RealSurf crows nest was somebody having fun on their electric foil board. A beautiful morning in […]
Micro morning but beautiful
Hello Friends, Easy report this morning: no waves at Dee Why for now. There ya go. Coulda done that on Twitter. Anyway, the water’s up a tick to 18C according to Beachwatch. Swell at sea is dead south at a couple metres, but only 9 seconds apart, so not bending into the corners at all. […]
