Swell big and raw

Hello Friends, Heaps of swell piling into Dee Why this morning and a reasonable crew was in the water at the point by 0700. It looks as though the bomb sets are turning up pretty regularly to give the crowd something to do. Set wave faces are still in the 1.5x overhead range and as […]

Swell for Wednesday morning

Hello Friends, Another chilly morning along the beaches. Although the forecast is for southerlies becoming variable later, the wind’s still coming from the westerly quarters as it did yesterday. That means textured but relatively clean surface conditions at Dee Why where sets in the 1.5x overhead range were rolling in. Swell at sea was 2.7 […]

Cold, showery, breezy but with waves

Hello Friends, It was a cold 8C just before 0800 this morning. Skies were mostly cloudy, but with the odd patch of blue and wind was out of the west at 8-10 kts. As you can see from the pics, there were a few shoulder high waves to be had along the Dee Why stretch […]

Sunny little Sunday

Hello Friends, A sparkling start to Sunday morning along the beaches. The carpark was full at Dee Why, there were chirping kids and parents with coffees and senior folks gliding past on eBikes and even a few hopeful surfers waxing up. The swell is 1.24m at sea is 7 seconds apart from the south. And […]

Looking fun this morning

Hello Friends, Another sunny morning with waves for Sydney today. Wind was coming from the WSW at 11-19 kts and swell at sea was 2 metres at 9 seconds from the SE. As you can see from the pics, that meant chest to shoulder plus faces on the sets. Water is 19C and clean at […]

Windblown mess

Hello Friends, As expected, we have another rest day for surfers in Sydney. It’s been blowing ESE at around 15-25 kts for a couple of days now so, although there’s 2 metres of 10-sec south swell, conditions are just too messy for most of us to bother. The junky conditions are set to persist through […]

Surprisingly clean early

Hello Friends, Given the forecast, I thought today would be a write-off surfwise, but Huey’s keeping me humble. Instead, there was a lull in the rain (replete with big patches of blue sky) and the wind was offshore. As of 0800 we had 2.3 metres of 14-15 second SE swell lighting up the beaches. Sets […]

Too small to surf at Dee Why Sunday morning

Hello Friends, A beautiful sunny morning in Sydney but there are no waves to speak of. Swell at sea was 0.9m at 14 seconds from the SSE and wind was coming from the north at 10-15kts. Weather should be sunny all day as we head to a high of 20°C. Despite the lack of surf, […]

Still raw and junky looking on Monday morning

Hello Friends, Monday started with passing showers, light westerly wind and 3.7 metres of 14-15 second SE swell out at sea. Despite the wind smoothing the surface, the swell was looking lumpy and messy, although big. I couldn’t see anyone in the water at the point when I grabbed the snaps. It looked like there […]

Clean lines for Saturday

Hello Friends, Up early for a run into the city, so not back to the beach until 9ish. As you can see from the pics, Dee Why had waves. These of course were what the sets looked like. It was pretty consistent at the beach, but much less so at the point. The last swell […]
