Missable Monday
Hello Friends, The day kicked off with a band of showers coming in from the south along with 15-20 kts of SE wind. Overnight the swell out at sea swung from the ESE to SSW and the period dropped from 12 to just 6 seconds. So, it’s pretty much onshore, tiny and gutless. Sorry to […]
A bit scrappy but fun ones to be had this morning
Hello Friends, The rain was hanging out to sea this morning and the wind had a westerly inflection, so the 2 metre, 10 second ESE swell was delivering the odd very surfable option. Tide was low at 0705, which meant that stretches like Narrabeen could definitely be crunchy (see pic below of consequences for one […]
Size but messy and missable
Hello Friends, Raw conditions this morning. Swell was 3 metres at 10 seconds from the SE and wind was SSE 13-18 kts as of 0700. So, while there were head plus wave faces, the quality was strictly ordinary even in the semi-protected corners. The showery stuff is set to continue all day and through tomorrow, […]
A few soft little set waves to be found this morning
Hello Friends, Early risers scored some weakish waist-plus wave faces at the better exposures this morning. Swell at sea was a metre at 8 seconds from the NE and wind before 0800 was coming lightly from the north under hazy grey skies. The Bureau tells us that the wind will pick up into the 15-25kt […]
Sunny, glassy and oh so tiny
Hello Friends, Apart from the weak and tiny waves, it was a perfect morning for a surf along the beaches. At the better exposures, like south Curly where today’s pics come from, bomb set wave faces were approaching the chest high mark. Unfortunately, they few and far between. Mostly it was a case of sitting […]
Waves on tap in the right spots
Hello Friends, Still a few waist to occasionally shoulder high waves to be had around the place this morning. Swell was 1.3 metres at 9 seconds apart from the ENE and wind was out of the north at 8-12 kts as of 0630. Tide was low at 0620 and will be back to high at […]
Sparkling Saturday surf morning
Hello Friends, Glassy, sunny and offshore for the early session along the beaches. Swell faded overnight, but there are still a few shoulder high plus sets at the magnets. It’s due to continue to fade across the day, so hitting it earlier rather than later looks to be the plan. Wind was NW 7-11 kts […]
Small, stormy start to Saturday
Hello Friends, The short version: stay in bed. Saturday kicked off with grey, rainy skies, blustery SSW wind and a weak looking 1.4 metre, 9 second SE swell offering little of interest to surfers. There were a few stalwarts braving the elements at Dee Why point, but it looked to be just barely into the […]
Low energy morning
Hello Friends, Swell’s faded overnight and the northerly wind is pushing along strongly ahead of what promises to be a blustery south change with possibly heavy rain late in the afternoon. Only a few desperate types in the water at Manly, no one at Curly and one at Dee Why. Looked like long waits for […]
Waves for the Weekend Warriors
Hello Friends, Conditions really came together this morning for the dawn patrol. We were seeing smooth surface conditions thanks to a WNW breeze and a south + east swell combo. Wave faces were in the shoulder to head-and-a-bit high range at the focus points. First tide of the day was the low at 0810, so […]
