Waves this morning at Dee Why

Hello Friends, Looking a bit choppy this morning, but it’s sunny and the set wave faces are pushing into the head high plus range, plus it’s reasonably consistent. Wind was WNW 5-8 kts at 0830 and it should gradually drift around to the NE this afternoon and pick up into the 10-15 kt range. Swell […]

Utterly missable at Dee Why this morning

Hello Friends, Well, as expected, surf conditions are awful as Wednesday gets started. The NE wind was 15-20 kts by 0630, smashing the little 6-sec period choppy NE wind swell. Skies were clouding over, making the forecast 90% chance of 4-10mm of rain later look entirely plausible. It’s set to rain even more tomorrow (15-25mm) […]

On to other things today Sydney surfers

Hello Friends, Dee Why was looking almost perfectly flat this morning and there is no obvious reason to think it’ll change for the next 24-48 hours. A good day to catch up on the non-surfing stuff. From the look of this morning’s swell prediction models, we’re going to have to wait until Thursday morning for […]

Clean little waves for Friday morning

Hello Friends, After a rainy night, Sydney awoke to a mostly sunny Friday morning with a light NW breeze along the coast. Out at sea a 1.2 m 8-second ENE wind swell was making its way shoreward to deliver set wave faces in the waist to chest high range. Weather outlook is for a rain-free, […]

Quiet morning for Dee Why surfers

Hello Friends, Back to weak and tiny along the Dee Why stretch this morning. On the incoming tide (it’s high at 1130) set wave faces were in the knee to maybe waist high range with the odd slightly bigger one. Swell at sea was straight south as of 0740 with heights in the 1.3 metre […]

It’s on this morning

Hello Friends, The point was at full capacity before 0700 this morning thanks to a combination of sunny skies, a light westerly breeze and 1.8 metres of 14-15 second south swell. Wave faces on sets looked to be solidly head high, if not a bit bigger. And not many were getting through the hungry crowd […]

NE spots only today

Hello Friends, Wind blew NE all night and the Bureau says it’s not backing off until tomorrow afternoon. As the pictures show, there’s still some solid looking swell. As of 0730 it was 2 metres at 15 seconds from the SSE (158°) out at sea. That was translating into messy, chaotic looking head high plus […]

Sunny start and surf too

Hello Friends, Head high with the odd plus among the consistent sets at Dee Why this morning. Wind was WSW 4-5 kts by 0730 (but due to swing around to the NE later). Swell at sea was 2.2 metres at 12-13 seconds from the SE and first tide of the daylight hours is the low […]

Only for the slightly crazy and very fit

Hello Friends, Gale force southerly under clearing skies and 3 metres of 8-sec SE swell meant it was a morning for only the keenest of the keen.   Weather Situation Gale force southerly winds and hazardous surf conditions with large and powerful waves are developing along the northern half of the coast as a low […]

Sunny micro morning for Dee Why

Hello Friends, The last day of winter started out with sunny skies and a steady 6-9 kt westerly breeze. There was only a tiny 0.8 m 5-second SE wind bump showing on the buoy feeds, so it’s flat along the beaches. There’s not much showing on the buoys off to the south of us, but […]
