Stormy Sunday
Hello Friends, Too stormy to get a picture of Dee Why from the crowsnest, but it looks from the surf cams like you could get a shoulder high set wave every now and then along the beach. Of course it’s extremely choppy thanks to the brisk1 15-25 kt southerly. Tide is dropping to low at […]
Misty Saturday morning
Hello Friends, Gloomy drizzly skies and 10-15 kts of NNE wind from daybreak on Saturday morning. As the pictures show, there are little NE wind swell waves at the better exposures, but quality isn’t great. Out at sea it was 1.4 metres at 6-7 seconds from the NE, so not a lot of energy in […]
Tiny but not flat at south exposures
Hello Friends, Really tiny at Dee Why this morning. Good if you have one of those electric foil things to play with or a standup board to take out and work on your core strength. But driving out of a nice turn or popping the top off something, well that’s not happening. When will it […]
The Goat’s Surf Forecast
The Goat’s Surf Forecast Surf forecast issued Thursday 22 October 2020: Seven day outlook for Sydney: Lovely weather right now. Waves have been smallish and wind affected this week, but I did see some people taking advantage of the right tides occasionally. The outlook for the weekend and week ahead is for some rain and […]
Still micro at Dee Why (and everywhere else)
Hello Friends, The picture tells the story. No waves to speak of for Dee Why this morning. Out at sea the buoys were seeing a metre of 11 second SSE bump. Tide was low at 0655 and is currently heading to a swampy 1.7 m high at 1330. Weather should be partly cloudy with a […]
Still tiny at Dee Why
Hello Friends, You’ll be doing well to get a wave above the thigh high mark this morning. It’s not absolutely and totally flat, but it’s close enough to that mark for yours truly to get on the pushy instead of going for a paddle. Swell at sea was 0.9 metres at 11 seconds from the […]
Fat and tiny but glassy at midday
Hello Friends, Busy this morning, so didn’t see the beach until midday. As expected things looked pretty quiet along the Collaroy to Narrabeen stretch. There were weak little knee high bumps flopping over at various points but as the pictures show, apart from being glassy, they looked low energy. Swell at sea was around 1.1 […]
Showery, bumpy and tiny
Hello Friends, The super quick version: weak, messy, tiny with rainy intervals. The numbers at 0800: 6-7 kts of SSW breeze, 1.9 metres at 8 seconds from the SSE. Swampy 1.9 metre high tide at 1050. Daytime high of 21C with clearing showers. Water temp 19C. General outlook: if anything, even smaller across the remainder […]
Little bumps at lots of places
Hello Friends, A rather dull sort of morning, but the wind was still light at 0930 and while it was pretty fat thanks to a high tide at 1000, out at sea there was a 1.2 m, 10-second period SE swell which was delivering knee to chest high wave faces at the better exposures. I […]
Grey, glassy and small early
Hello Friends, Surprisingly surfable looking little knee to waist-plus glassy peaks all over the place this morning. The incoming tide was beginning to swamp them and the short period nature of the swell means there’s not a lot of power, so you’ll want to take your floatiest surf tool to get the most out of […]
