Sunday looking very nice early
Hello Friends, Can you get out there this morning? Good! The east swell has filled in overnight and it’s not looking too shabby. It’s about 2 metres at sea with a juicy average period of 10 seconds. Wind was light early, but should come in from the NE at 15-20kts later. So, earlier will see […]
Waves for the early risers
Hello Friends, Let’s get straight to the point. There are little waves to be had this morning and with luck they’ll stick around through lunch time. Size is around the waist high mark but there are definitely a few bigger ones when the peaks focus. There were lots of said peaks on the Collaroy-Narrabeen stretch […]
Smallness in Sydney & postcards from Cali
Hello Friends, Not a great seat of numbers as Monday got started in Sydney. The MHL buoy is showing around a metre and a half of 6 second period east wind junk. A southerly seems to be hitting down south and high tide is about 0800. A chance of showers too. Swell’s supposed to go […]
More postcards from Cali
Hello Friends, At 0500 the Sydney MHL buoy was reporting a metre of north east wind swell with a period of just 6 seconds. Wind was N-NE at 5-10 kts. High tide’s about 0720 and it’s going to be 30 today with a chance of showers. The NE’r should be pretty stiff by close of […]
Postcards from Cali
Just a few snaps to share from a couple days ago… We were expecting a solid NW pulse to arrive at some point during the day, so we decided to wait for it at a place called Naples (west of Goleta). Unfortunately for us, the pulse only started to fill in solidly when we got […]
Extra puny tinyness with your tinyness?

Goin’ quiet
Hello Friends, Light north breeze and a small, but not miniscule east wind swell for Sydney this morning. Dial the expectation-o-meter down pretty low and you should be able to talk yourself into a splash at your favourite beach break. Figure knee high to maybe waist on the bombs I’d say. The Bureau sez: North […]
SE all day every day…
Hello Friends, Could the endless SE’r be giving it up soon? According to this morning’s marine forecast for the Sydney region, it should go around to the NE this afternoon. Meanwhile, at 0500 the swell was 2m from the SE with an average period pushing up toward 10 seconds. Not a bad set of numbers […]
Another southerly day ahead
