Super tiny
Hello Friends, Another near-flat day. There were a few wait-10-minutes knee to waist high bumps at Curly when I checked it this morning. Apart from the lack of swell, conditions were near perfect. The swell models are still showing a small pulse from maybe late Thursday. It’s not looking too amazing, but chest to shoulder […]
Saturday south swell morning
Hello Friends, Another chilly start for keen surfers this morning. But there are chest to head high sets to be had at south swell favourable places like Dee Why. Wind was coming lightly from the west as the day got started. Out at sea the swell was 2.6 metres at 9 seconds from 170° (south). […]
Pumping swell, offshore and sunny skies
Hello Friends, If you’re an experienced rider or a solid intermediate, there should be a wave for you if you look around. At 0900 conditions were clean and very good along the Manly stretch. Curly wasn’t producing the quality but around at Dee Why there was the odd intense bomb set at the point and […]
Stormy skies and swell
Hello Friends, Swell’s dialled back a little from yesterday, but it’s still 2 metres at sea and coming from the east with a period of 11.5 seconds, so wave faces on sets at the best exposures are solidly overhead. Wind’s been blowing out of the northerly quarters since yesterday evening and so the surface is […]
Burgertown with onshores
Hello Friends, Another missable morning on the surf front, sad to say. Wind was light easterly as of 0630 and swell at sea was out of the ESE at a shade under 2 metres at 8 seconds apart. Not too inspiring. There’s an energetic low up north, so we should see the swell perk up […]
Lull day
Hello Friends, Swell faded back steadily yesterday and overnight with the consequence that it was getting toward flat at lots of places by first light on Saturday. That said, there were still a few catchable bumps for the dawn patrol. It wasn’t consistent, but as the pics show, if you were in the spot, a […]
Cold as a very cold thing
Hello Friends, Bitterly cold this morning and raining too. Wind stayed SW, so there were reasonably clean surface conditions at Manly late this morning when I checked. Dee Why was lumpier and stormy looking but as the pic above shows, there were occasional waves to be had at the point. Swell at sea is 3.5 […]
Tuesday bonus pics
Hello Friends, Had to run some errands, so took the camera and captured a few shots of the swell around midday…
That’ll do fine thanks
Hello Friends, Last day of our little Crescent sojourn and yet again we awoke to cloudless skies, a glassy sea and a faded but still mildly frisky chest to shoulder high eastish swell. The carpark was filling fast and the well occupied caravan park surf crew were making their way to the jump off at […]
Postcards from Crescent
Hello Friends, My mate Paul sent me a text a few days ago, drawing my attention to the possibility of waves at Crescent later in the week. Was it good time to go? In some ways not, but it was possible, so I filled the Tesla with electrons, slung the boards on the racks and […]
