Lines but options limited
Hello Friends, Another beautiful morning with a light SW breeze, sunny skies and 1.3 metres of 14-second south swell to go with it. This means long lines (mostly) shutting down the most exposed stretches. Yes, there are the occasional makeable ones, but they are very few and far between. It’s one of those mornings where […]
Tiny at Dee Why on Monday morning
Hello Friends, Dee Why point was off the surf menu this morning and from RealSurf HQ it looked like you’d need to head up the beach toward Longy to even have a chance of a catchable one. Swell at sea was 1.4 metres at 8 seconds from the SSE, so that should mean waist-ish high […]
High tide and tiny to start Sunday
Hello Friends, A glassy, sunny morning along the beaches, but there’s only a tiny south line trickling in. It’s around the knee high mark with the odd waist-ish set turning up every now and then. Tide was just on the 16 m high when I grabbed the pictures and swell at sea was 1.25 metres […]
Clean and tiny early
Hello Friends, Our swell energy has dropped down a notch overnight and this morning saw a small SE line showing at the better exposures. It looked to be mostly in the knee to waist high range, but with the odd slightly bigger one. Out at sea, the MHL buoy was seeing 1.3 metres of 8-second […]
Glassy, but barely-there waves
Hello Friends, A few optimists in the water at the point around 0830 this morning, but in the time I watched, nothing came through for them. You’ll want to be walking up the beach toward Longy where there’s a wee bit more swell showing. At 0600 the MHL buoy was detecting 1.7 metres of 9-second […]
South exposures early
Hello Friends, Contrary to the Bureau’s forecast, wind was light westerly at 0730, so the surface conditions were smooth at spots picking up the dead south swell. The buoy data was showing average swell height at sea in the 3.5 metre range with periods around the 9 second mark. So, while there were some solid […]
Waves early on Wednesday
Hello Friends, Heading for another warm one (27) with showers and a late south change. At daybreak the wind was NNE at 9-14 kts and swell was 1.9 metres from the east at around 9 seconds apart. Tide was high at 0600 and will be back to a 0.58 low at 1300. There weren’t many […]
Almost foggy, glassy early and chest plus sets
Hello Friends, The better exposures were seeing close-together but chest-to-shoulder-high faces as Tuesday kicked off. Swell was dominated by the 8-second 2 metre easterly component, but there was also a bit of SE in the mix as well. I had to amp up the pictures to even make out what was happening at the point […]
Glassy again but those sets are even less frequent
Hello Friends, In a rush this morning, so here are the pics… Manly Dee Why Weather Situation A weak trough lies along the New South Wales coast while a high pressure system is gradually moving east across the Tasman Sea. This high will extend a ridge towards the coast and replace the trough later today […]
Glassy, shoulder high sets
Hello Friends, Small group on the point at 0930 where it was glassy and small, but with shoulder high ones turning up every 10-15 minutes; mostly single waves, not sets.. As of 1000 swell was 1.5 metres from the SE at 16 seconds apart – hence the long wait for sets to turn up. If […]
