Smaller but not flat

Hello Friends, Grey skies this morning and the prospect of the odd light shower on the cards for us today. Swell has faded overnight and it looked as though the point was the only option at the Dee Why end of the beach as of 0630. As the pictures show, sets were in the waist […]

Waves for the keen

Hello Friends, Kind of grey and scrappy looking at Dee Why but as the pictures show there are a few shoulder high moments at the point and probably up the beach as well. Wind was out of the ESE and pretty light for the early session. It’s set to stay that way for a bit […]

Swell starting to show early

Hello Friends, Clean conditions and long south lines starting to turn up as Monday kicked off. Sets at better exposures were delivering wave faces into the chest high range. Wind was light early and out of the WNW. First tide of the day was a 1.3 m high at 0610. The 0.5m low is at […]

Still waiting on the waves

Hello Friends, Another briskly WNW and sunny morning along the beaches. There’s some swell out at sea, 1.8 metres at 10 seconds, but it’s coming from 170°, so it’s mostly skipping past Dee Why. Better exposures could be seeing waist plus faces, but at Dee Why the beach was lined up and maybe knee high […]

Zippo Saturday morning

Hello Friends, No surfing for you this morning. Conditions were otherwise nearly perfect with sunny skies and chilly (and accelerating) offshore winds. Out at sea the buoys were seeing 0.74 metres of 9 second SE wind swell. Ocean temperature is still 18C and we’re heading to a high of 18C along the beaches. There is […]

Sunny start, gales inbound

Hello Friends, A light, cool northerly under clear blue skies as Friday got started along the beaches. As the picture shows, it was still flat at Dee Why point and there was only the tiniest of tiny lines coming in up the beach. The Bureau tells us to expect a strong westerly change of 20-30 […]

And the short term outlook is… Yes.. pretty much more of the same for the next coupla days, but then there might be a little […]

So pretty, so flat

Hello Friends, Sorry kids. No surfin’ for you this gorgeous spring morning in Sydney. The ocean is a lake. Best thing about the conditions are that they can only improve from here. The Bureau says it might bump up a touch at south magnets this afternoon, but I wouldn’t be expecting much above ankle to […]

Micro but beautiful Wednesday

Hello Friends, Looking nearly flat at Dee Why this morning. If you’re really patient, there might be the occasional ankle to knee high set. It might be a tiny bit bigger at better NE exposures, but I wouldn’t be overly hopeful. Out at sea the buoy is seeing a touch under a metre of 9+ […]

Windy, mild and little waves

Hello Friends, A mild 10 kt westerly at 0700 when I grabbed the snaps. Tide was coming in to the 1.7 m high just before noon and out at sea the swell was around the 1 metre mark at 9 seconds from the east. There looked to be a few knee to maybe waist-and-a-bit plusses […]
