Solid for the early
Hello Friends, Still some swell around, but definitely smaller and the wait for sets is really stretching out – which isn’t great for the crowded spots like the point, or the naturally inconsistent place like Longy. Wind was light before 0800 when I grabbed the pics, but the NE was beginning to come up and […]
The Goat’s Surf Forecast
The Goat’s Surf Forecast Surf forecast issued Thursday 21 January 2021: Seven day outlook for Sydney: Surf Outlook Over the last coupla days, all TG could see was white water and onshores… and more whitewater and onshores… so like most people, he did other things. Looks like conditions should slowly ease back to more Human […]
Big morning
Hello Friends, Solid swell, went to take pictures and discovered it was busy with only sporadic worthy sections. 30 people at Dee Why point and close to 40 at Collaroy (with another dozen at the Kick). Sets were maxing out Dee Why point and it was a challenge to make them even on the cleanest […]
Some size but not much quality
Hello Friends, Update: been out on the bike checking the surf and have really only seen people in the water at Collaroy (micro, mobbed), whiterock (long waits not really doing it longboarding inside sorta ok), and Dee Why point. A dozen people in the water at 1300, lumpy and sloppy with irregular head high sets […]
SE into it from early
Hello Friends, Passing showers, the odd sunny break, 2 metres of 12 second swell at sea, but coming from the 184°, and 16-23 kts of SSE wind, do not a pretty surf picture make. The extreme south angle of the swell ensures that anything without good exposure is really small and junky, while spots better […]
Too south for Dee Why
Hello Friends, Swell was showing on the buoy at 1.8 metres and 10 seconds from 171°, so getting close to dead south and therefore not refracting into our coastline too much. There were people in the water at Dee Why for the early but waves look to be in the knee to waist high range […]
Swell for Sunday
Hello Friends, Brilliant Sunday morning with nice lines coming in and light offshore wind under cloudless blue skies. Set wave faces at the best exposures look to be in the shoulder plus range, so be prepared to wear the odd bomb set. Swell at sea was 1.7 metres at 9 seconds from the SSE. Lots […]
Beautiful but small for Saturday morning
Hello Friends, Another sparkling Sydney morning for Saturday. The Bureau says the swell should come up and that the wind should stay offshore while it’s sunny all day. As the morning got started the waves were in the knee to waist plus range on sets at magnets – everywhere else was smaller. Tide was low […]
Friday not too interesting at the beach
Hello Friends, A light SSW breeze and high overcast for Friday morning. Surf is still in the knee high range and very weak and soft looking. So, yeah, if you’re really keen, take your tiny wave tool and have fun. Bump out at sea has come up a little and as of 0800 was 1.6 […]
The Goat’s Surf Forecast
The Goat’s Surf Forecast Surf forecast issued Thursday 14 January 2021: Seven day outlook for Sydney: Is that my tummy rumbling?? No it’s thunder, with a few flashes and little spots of rain. Which means to avoid the possibility of being zapped if you’re at the beach or in the water, you don’t want to […]
