Still tiny on Thursday

Hello Friends, Too tiny to surf this morning at Dee Why. But people are trying anyway so kudos for keeping the stoke alive. Wind bump at sea is a metre at 4-5 seconds from the NE. Average wave height should get into the waist high range at exposed spots – if you’re a fan of […]

Warm day ahead but still tiny

Hello Friends, Only a faint 1 metre, 6 second east wind bump lapping in under largely clear skies. We’re heading to high of 29C and Beachwatch said water was 23C yesterday, so there may not really be any waves, but at least the water is nice. It doesn’t look as though tomorrow will be much […]

Sunny, mild and near flat

Hello Friends, Your surf options are pretty limited this morning. If you have the gear for ankle to calf high waves, pull it down from the rafters and go for a paddle. As of 0800 the wind was out of the NNE at 9-10 kts under mostly clear skies. It should pick up into the […]

Beautiful but micro

Hello Friends, Perfect weather, light wind early, sunny skies, but it’s only knee to maybe very occasionally waist high where the surf’s concerned. We’re heading to a high of 28C along the beaches and Beachwatch reports the water is on 21C . Swell at sea this morning was around 0.8 metres from the SE at […]

Beautiful Sunday morning with glassy little waves too

Hello Friends, What an absolute corker of a morning in Syney. Puffy white clouds against a bright blue sky, a faint WSW breeze and tiny knee to waist high waves courtesy of a 1 metre 8-9 second SSE wind swell. We’d all like more wave energy, but at least there’s something for everybody coming out […]

Bumpy Saturday

Hello Friends, Not a great morning for a surf really. There are some scrappy waist plusses thanks to nearly 2 metres of 8 second ESE windswell, but quality is poor thanks to a weak period and 10 kts of SE wind. Water should be ok anywhere away from lagoon entrances and the temperature is around […]

The Goat’s Surf Forecast

The Goat’s Surf Forecast Surf forecast issued Friday 8 January 2021: Seven day outlook for Sydney: Right now it’s windy and the surf is windblown choppy rubbish.  Sheltered corners? >> there’s not a lot happening. The outlook is for the wind to ease and swing around to a Summer Noreaster, which means summer surf conditions […]

Another gloomy and southerly Friday morning

Hello Friends, Pretty much in line with expectations this morning, as the picture shows. So, you need to be super keen to get in. Wind was 13-17 kts south as of 0830, swell at sea was 2.25 metres from the SSE at 8 seconds apart. Wave faces along the beach were in the waist to […]

No surf at Dee Why

Hello Friends, 15-20 kts of SE wind from the get-go on a beautiful sunny and mild morning. Dee Why looking like a real mess surfwise. Swell conditions out at sea are 2 metres from the south at 7 seconds and that means there only junky waist to maybe chest high slop at the best exposures. […]

Light chop and tiny early

Hello Friends, A pretty ho-hum morning surfwise. for Dee Why. Heavy overcast skies threatening to sprinkle and 8-10 kts of SSW do not a pretty picture make. Swell at sea was 1.7 metres dead south at 6 seconds apart and that was translating into knee to waist high gutless dribble at Dee Why. The weather […]
