Little waves on Friday morning

Hello Friends, Finally, a few little waves showing at Dee Why this morning. It’s nothing amazing, but at least the sets are in the waist to chest plus range. Wind was out of the NW at 2-3 kts when I grabbed the snaps a little after 0700. First tide of the day was the low […]

The Goat’s Surf Forecast

The Goat’s Surf Forecast Surf forecast issued Thursday 10 September 2020: Seven day outlook for Sydney: Sigh.. the trouble I have to go to… I told TG it was time to do the forecast and he just whinged>>> “It’s too cold… Don’t feel like it…. Who’d be surfing now anyway? It feels like Winter has […]

Weak and junky for the keen only

Hello Friends, If you’re really keen and not put off by weak, small and junky onshore conditions – this is your morning to get amongst it. The 15-20 kt SSE wind was hammering the surface conditions and making the anemic 1.5 metre 7-second period SSE wind bump look, well, bumpy. But good on those hearty […]

Wintry look but a mild feel

Hello Friends, The southerly arrived right on schedule and this morning sees blustery SSW wind, lowering skies – but no real sign of an improvement to swell conditions. It’s 1.8 metres out at sea, but average periods are a choppy 5-6 seconds and it’s dead south.There’s really no prospect of an improvement to the waves […]

Pretty morning but pretty flat too

Hello Friends, A summery one coming up as we head to a high of 24C today. As expected, the ocean is pretty much flat at Dee Why again this morning. There’s no real prospect for an improvement in surf today and tomorrow, while we’ll see a little bump up in size, it’ll be cloudy and […]

Like Sunday only fewer bumps

Hello Friends, The pictures tell the story. No waves for us today. And it looks like the same for tomorrow. But maybe the south change on Wednesday will begin the process of building toward something in the surfable range for the end of the work week… Weather Situation A high pressure system lying over the […]

Sunny, breezy and tiny

Hello Friends, No sign of a surfable wave at Dee Why this morning. Wind is out of the ESE at 7-10 kts as of 0930. It should pick up a little more and get a bit more east as well, so surface conditions will be ordinary all day. Out at sea the buoy is seeing […]

Sleepy Saturday surf options

Hello Friends, Sunny skies and a smooth sea on a cool Spring Saturday morning with only ankle to knee and a bit high waves at best NE exposures. That pretty much leaves out Dee Why but there are a few peaks from about Surfrider Gardens to North Narrabeen. Wind was out of the west at […]

Puny Dee Why dribble

Hello Friends, Surf? Er, no. Not at Dee Why this morning. There’s a touch under a metre at 7 seconds from 67° out at sea and 7-10 kts of WNW breeze showing at North Head. Places with better exposure to the NE wind swell should have soft ankle to knee high bumps for your mal […]

The Goat’s Surf Forecast

The Goat’s Surf Forecast Surf forecast issued Thursday 3 September 2020: Seven day outlook for Sydney: Time flies when you’re having fun! and here it is September already. Surf?? No, not really much happening over the next few days, unless you’re lucky enough to get a small mal wave at the right tides. But by […]
