Too tiny for surfin’

Hello Friends, The pictures tell the story this morning: there’s just about no surf. Even the spots that doing something with the weak south wind bump are only in the ankle to knee high range – on sets. Cloudy skies early and a steady 10-12 kts of south wind are making for a less than […]

Nothing doing on the surf front at Dee Why this morning

Hello Friends, Another day for your no-surf exercise alternatives at Dee Why. We’re heading to a high of 29C with a sunny morning and the chance of a thunderstorm this afternoon. The wind should come up into the 15-20 kt range from the N to NE later. Out at sea the buoys are detecting 1.3 […]

The Goat’s Surf Forecast

The Goat’s Surf Forecast Surf forecast issued Thursday 19 November 2020: Seven day outlook for Sydney: Another quick one from TBG (The Bionic Goat), cause he’s tired, worn out, needs a rest, and he says there’s not much to get too excited about anyway… But who doesn’t like variety in their weather conditions, wind directions, […]

Really tiny

Hello Friends, Wind was faintly out of the WNW as Thursday got started. We’re heading to a mostly sunny day with a high of 26C. Swell at sea was 0.9 metres at 9-10 seconds from the NE. First tide of the day is the 1.85 m high at 1210. Did the Manly run this morning, […]

Missable

Hello Friends, A partly cloudy start to the day for Sydney. Wind was coming from the ENE at 5-7 kts and out at sea the bump was 1.3 metres from the south at 8 seconds apart. So, no real improvement from yesterday. Tide was low at 0450 and will be back to a swampy 1.94 […]

Dull, grey and tiny early

Hello Friends, Not the most attractive morning out there. Grey skies, hazy and 10-15 kts of SSE wind. Out at sea the buoys were seeing 1.5 metres of 6-second SE wind bump, while inshore, as the pics show, it was knee high and junky as the tide was running into the very swampy 1.99 m […]

Tiny at Dee Why on a sunny Monday morning

Hello Friends, Going to 33C today and, as so often happens, when it’s hot, it’s micro. The standout spots are seeing the odd knee to thigh high set, but everywhere else is choppy and flat. Wind was 11-15 kts from the NE. Tide’s coming into a swampy 2 metre high at 0940 and out at […]

Sunny Sunday with tiny waves at NE magnets

Hello Friends, A proper summery morning with clear skies and knee high waves to be had at the NE magnets. It was too small for Dee Why though. I couldn’t see anyone on a board at that end of the beach. Wind was starting to come up from the NE by the time I grabbed […]

Knee to waist high and smooth early

Hello Friends, Partly cloudy skies, light WSW wind and a near-full tide were setting the stage for an 8-second 1.2 metres line from the NE to produce waist high sets at the better exposures. Lots of folks in the water from the get-go and it looks as though long lulls are the order of the […]

Looking flat down Dee Why way this morning

Hello Friends, Rained overnight but the showers abated around 0600 as a light NNE breeze perked up. Out at sea the waverider buoy data was showing 1.5 metres of 8-second NE wind bump and that was translating to, well, not much of anything where Dee Why was concerned. It’s not absolutely flat, but you’re going […]
