Blowy early but waves too

Hello Friends, Wind was already 8-10 kts from the NNE wind by 0800 and swell at sea was 2 metres of 11 second energy from the east. The wind is expected to build to 20-25 kts this afternoon. It was fairly sunny as the day kicked off, but there’s a 60% of a sprinkle as […]

Grey skies and waves

Hello Friends, As expected, swell has perked up again this morning. The offshore buoy was showing 1.67 metres of 10-11 sec  ENE (70°) energy.  Surface conditions at Dee Why looked kind of sloppy and lumpy with sets in the waist to chest plus range. Checking some of the cams, it looks like, as usual, the […]

Dull grey skies and a sluggish sea

Hello Friends, Not looking too surfable at the Dee Why end of the beach. Looks to be around the knee high mark and dumpy under heavily overcast skies with 5-10 kts of SW breeze. It’s set to swing southerly and pick up into the 15-20 kt range. Out at sea swell is 1.65 metres at […]

Tiny at Dee Why

Hello Friends, A 10-13 kt NNE breeze was already doing its thing as of 0730. It’s due to pick up into the 20-30 kt range as the day goes along. Swell at sea was 1.7 metres from the NE at 6-8 seconds and the tide was coming in to a 1.6 m high at 1100. […]

Little NE wind bump

Hello Friends, You’re probably not going to find anything above the knee high mark on bomb sets at Dee Why on this sunny and summery Sunday morning. Wind was starting to bump things up at 1000, so it’s going to be semi-protected north corners for the cleanest conditions soon. The models show periods staying below […]

Micro to flat but otherwise beautiful

Hello Friends, The occasional waist to chest high set of yesterday has turned into the occasional ankle to knee high set this morning. Although the offshore buoys are still seeing some longer period stuff, there was no evidence of it anywhere I checked this morning as I prepped for the usual Saturday morning surf chat […]

Firing Friday

Hello Friends, Beautiful start to Friday with sunny skies, a light NW breeze and head high plusses on the bomb sets along the beach at Dee Why and to a lesser extent at the point. Swell at sea was out of the SE (145°) around the 1.5 metre mark with the odd bigger one amongst […]

Still waves for the morning sesh

Hello Friends, Skies were mostly cloudy over the coast as Thursday got started, but it looked to be clearing out west. That’s in line with the forecast which called for a morning shower followed by a sunny day. Wind was light westerly early but should go SW and then around to the east and SE […]
