NE bumps for the keen before the wind ramps up

Hello Friends, Dee Why was seeing a few little waist high sets, but for the most part it was smaller than that, plus there seemed to be a fair old wait between wave catching opportunities. There were a few people hanging around at the point too, but if anything the waits looked to be longer […]

Tiny, fat and full early

Hello Friends,Sparkling sunny Sydney morning with a light NNE breezse texturing the ocean. Tide was coming off the 0540 high as the sun peeped over the horizon. Low tide arrives at 1130, by which time the NE’r should be well established and ramping toward 20-25 kts by late afternoon. It should stay sunny all day […]

Clean and surfable little lines

Hello Friends, Partly cloudy skies, light WNW wind and 1.45 m of 7-10 second south swell (172°) delivering waist to maybe shoulder high sets along the beach and at the point. That said, waves at the point looked to be fairly infrequent but a bit more consistent along the beach. Tide is currently dropping to […]

The odd wave to be found

Hello Friends, As of 0700 wind was coming lightly from the SSE. It’s not expected to pick up much, but it will keep coming from the eastern quarters. Out at sea the buoys were seeing 1.6 metres of 8-second wind swell from 156° (SSE). First tide of the daylight hours is the 0910 low. High […]

Lumpy bumpy – and a new US president in January

Hello Friends, Lumpy and choppy this morning at Dee Why and looking as slow as an American electoral count too. There were folks in the water along the beach toward No Mans and at the point and sets looked to be in the waist to chest high range with the odd plus in the mix. […]

Waves to be had early

Hello Friends, Wind backed off overnight so as Saturday began we had a light WSW breeze and smooth surface conditions most places. Swell faded significantly overnight too. There are still a few shoulder plus sets in the mix but mostly it seems to be in the waist to chest high range. Fairly busy in the […]

Dee Why not too messy for the keen

Not my cup of tea, but Dee Why point had a few hardy types tackling the big lumpfest at the point (the beach was a write-off). The crew were doing a fair amount of waiting around while dodging the bombs. Watched for quite awhile and only saw a few waves ridden, of which only two […]

Big, lumpy and bumpy

Hello Friends, The radar shows showers hugging the coast as of 0700. Early wind is still out of the SW at 7-9 kts, but the Bureau tells us it’ll go southerly and power up into the 15-25 kt range this morning. Ocean looked very lumpy and messy, but it has come up dramatically since yesterday […]

Gales for today and tomorrow

Hello Friends, Back to cloudy skies and 20-30 kt S-SSW wind for Thursday morning. Swell and seas are 1.7m and 2.8m respectively. The juicy 10+ second stuff we were seeing yesterday has been replaced by 4-5 second period chop. There’s a 95% chance of precipitation in the 20-35mm range. So, not really a morning for […]
