You’ll have it to yourself

Hello Friends, A breezy, partly cloudy start to Monday morning with a light northerly breeze texturing the ocean. There’s a tiny, short period NE wind bump out at sea, but it’s just too weak and tiny to deliver much of anything to Dee Why. Looks like a great day for a swim or a walk […]

Sunny Sunday with soft waves on offer

Hello Friends, A mild and pretty Sunday morning with some soft looking but occasionally chest high wave faces to be had at the focal points along the better south exposures. At Dee Why the waves had a somewhat disorganised look but there were definitely workable sections – particularly on the take off. Swell at sea […]

Clean little waves here and there

Hello Friends, Swell’s still around the 2 metre mark out at sea and coming from the SSE, but the period is now 8 seconds, so set wave faces are mostly below shoulder high. Plus it was rather inconsistent and a bit tide affected when I checked. Wind as of 0900 when the pics were taken, […]

Bright sunny surf day

Hello Friends, A get out there if you can start to the day at Dee Why. Chilly, but sunny and offshore thanks to 11-15 kts of west wind. Set wave faces were head and a bit high on the bigger ones too thanks to a 2 metre SSE (161°), 9-10 sec swell. Tide hit a […]

Raw swell on an icy morning

Hello Friends, Lovely Antarctic blast of cold this morning. It was around 8C when I grabbed the snaps at 0745 and the wind was powering along at 13-19 kts from the west. As you can see, the swell’s come up in line with expectations. Out at sea it was 3.7 metres at 11 seconds and […]

Little swell pulse for Friday

Hello Friends, Energy for surfers this morning. Waves were in the waist to maybe chest and bit range but quality at Dee Why looked so-so thanks to a light northerly breeze. Skies were overcast and swell was a bit over a metre at 11 seconds from the east. Tide was low at 0720 and will […]

Small and smooth but surfable

Hello Friends, Smaller than I’d expected for this morning, but there’s still enough energy to produce the odd waist high set if you’re in the right spot along the beach north from the club. Wind was light NW (7-8 kt) at 0730. The longer period swell of yesterday has turned into a metre of SE […]

Surfable for sure

Hello Friends, Another sunny start to the day for us on Wednesday. And we have waves. Sets along the beach at Dee Why were into the shoulder high range while over at the point they were much less frequent and more like waist to chest. As of 0700 the wind was out of the WNW […]

Small uptick in energy

Hello Friends, Thanks to 1.1m of 13 sec SSE swell along with some 10-sec east component, there were knee to maybe waist plus sets along the beach toward Long Reef this morning. Surface conditions were smooth for the early as the wind was out of the NW at 7-10 kts. The wind’s set to stay […]

Grey and small but not flat

Hello Friends, Grey skies and a steady 8-12 kt north wind greeted early risers on Friday morning. Out at sea the swell was a metre at 11 seconds from the ENE (116°) and that was delivering waist to chest high wave faces on sets at focal points along the beach north from the point. Tide […]
