Soft and small but not hopeless

Hello Friends, Going to a high of 30 today. It’s sunny this morning, but there’s a 60% chance of showers later. There is some bump about thanks to 1.3 metres of 8-9 second NE wind swell. Best exposures should be seeing waist high sets with the odd chest plus bomb. Tides heading into a fairly […]

Clean and soft little lines

Hello Friends, Smooth and glassy under foggy skies as Saturday got started. There were a fair number of folks scattered along the north Collaroy to Narrabeen stretch and similar numbers south of there at Dee Why to Longy. Sets at the best peaks were into the waist high range, but mostly it was knee high […]

Barely a bump

Hello Friends, Heading to a toasty 30C this morning as the wind comes up from the NW ahead of an afternoon southerly change. First tide of the day is a high at 0755 so waves were fat and tiny when I grabbed the snaps. There were a couple of folks at the point chasing knee […]

Dee Why still waiting but longboardable lumps at magnets

Hello Friends, High tide at 0715 and sunny skies combined with 1.3 metres of 14 second straight south bump saw nothing much happening at Dee Why as Wednesday kicked into gear. There were a few little lumps up the beach and the point looked as though it might have see a just catch-able thing every […]

Surf will come again maybe even this afternoon

Hello Friends, Not much energy showing at Dee Why this morning thanks to a near absence of swell along the stretch. The offshore buoy data was showing 1.3 metres of 9-second bump from the SSE but, with a high tide at 0630, it was not looking surfable at Dee Why. You might find something in […]

Sunday for not surfing at Dee Why

Hello Friends, Well, it’s pretty much dullsville on the surf front at Dee Why this morning. I couldn’t see anyone in the water, nor any reason for them to be there on a board. My exercise plan has switched to bike riding, what about yours? Looks as though we’ll be waiting until Tuesday for our […]

Tiny but definitely catchable

Surface conditions were clean ahead of the northerly wind later today. Tide hits low at 0910, so at least there should be […]
