Looking small and scrappy Monday morning
Hello Friends, This morning saw sunny skies and light WNW wind chopping up the metre or so of 9-second SE swell that was washing into Dee Why. It was too small to light up the point and the beach looked, shall we say, undistinguished, with only the occasional choppy knee to waist high set offering […]
Sunny Sunday start with waves to be had
Hello Friends, Sunday kicked off with sunny skies, light WNW wind and a fading 1.3 metre, 10 second dead south swell. Tide was filling into the moderate 1.3 m high at 1110. Given the benign conditions, it didn’t look overly crowded for a weekend morning with waves. Quality was ok, but not exceptional and the […]
There be waves
Hello Friends, Looks like there are waves for you this morning and the wind’s still okay as of 1100. Image is shared from MHL. Here’s what the Bureau says about the next three days. Go well, stay safe! Weather Situation A strong high over the Bight extends a ridge over southeast Australia. It is expected […]
Waves and people galore
Hello Friends, WSW wind and 3 metres of 9-second south swell were producing waves of a sort at Dee Why this morning. On the Friday morning a couple weeks ago when I was hobbling up the beach following my tussle with the rocks at the point, I noticed that a distinct peak had formed north […]
Late Friday, tiny waves spotted by the Goat
Two kids find the only wave at a secret surf spot in Sydney and have it all to themselves… Dark clouds loom from the south, possibly with some wind too. Water still stained from the Hawkesbury runout to sea but I guess their young immune system a can handle it. TG
RealSurfer cops a knock
Hello Friends, Apologies for the gap in reporting since Friday. Add my name to long list of Dee Why rock off casualties. On Friday morning when swell was pumping, I decided it would be more fun to go for a swim with my camera at the point rather than try to mix it with fit […]
Plentiful and sizeable clean surf this morning
Hello Friends, What a morning! Get out there if you can (but only if you’re an experienced rider). Sets at Dee Why were solidly overhead thanks to a 3 metre, 11 second ESE-SE swell. At 0800, the wind was still coming lightly from the west and tide was coming into the 1105 1.4 m high. […]
Gallery North Steyne 11-04-2024 am
North Steyne riders on a sunny Thursday morning, with 7-10 kts of WSW wind, an hour or so before a 1.5 m high tide. Swell was dead south, 3 metres at 9-10 seconds apart. High res files suitable for big prints are available, just email me via don [at] realsurf [dot] com. images
Massive morning
Hello Friends, Swell was pounding in this morning at Dee Why and yet weirdly the Bureau hasn’t hoisted the large and powerful surf warning. Definitely a day for the fit and experienced riders only. Conditions look pretty raw and lumpy it has to be said. Sets were big enough to max out the point, and […]
Rough and ready
Hello Friends, Skies were mostly overcast at 0745 when I grabbed the snaps from RealSurf HQ. They’re a bit soft because the 17-26 kt SW wind was blowing my camera rig around. It was also producing lumpy conditions in the corner at Dee Why where set waves were in the shoulder to head plus range. […]
