Sunny surfy Sunday
Hello Friends, The point was very crowded and the really big sets were rare this morning. But there weren’t many lulls, so even with 30+ people there were frequent opportunities. This afternoon the Bureau warns us to expect the swell to pulse up into the 4-6 metre range. When I grabbed the snaps the swell […]
Swell hitting
Hello Friends, Well, that’s a nice surprise. Yesterday it didn’t look as though we could expect much of an improvement until Thursday… good to be wrong in this instance. Swell looked kinda raw at Curly where a handful of hardy types were chasing somewhat lumpy looking shoulder to head high sets. Around the corner at […]
Windy Wednesday
Hello Friends, Blown pretty much flat this morning. If you were super keen and didn’t mind the wind chill (which must have been in single digits early), there were some waist high sets struggling against the roaring offshores. One of those days when taking off is like being blinded by a firehose in the face […]
Clean with possibilities
Hello Friends, Partly cloudy skies and clean lines as the last Monday of autumn kicks off. Swell at sea was 1.9 metres at 8 seconds from the SSE. I saw what looked to be a solid head high set (pic below) up the beach toward the pole and there were little lines at the point. […]
Sunny breezy Sunday morning with waves
Hello Friends, Another beautiful autumn morning along the beaches. Wind was out of the west at a stiffish 11-16 kts and skies were mostly clear. Swell is a mix of 10+ sec NE and dead south which was delivering the occasional chest-ish set to the point at Dee Why. It was more lined up and […]
Autumnal waves on Friday morning
Hello Friends, Sunny skies, light westerly wind and a 1.3 m, 14-15 sec SE swell. There’s a little east energy in the mix as well. Set wave faces were into the head high range, but they were mostly shutting down along the beach and only rarely appearing at the point. That long period doesn’t play […]
Sunny and waves to be had
Hello Friends, There were twenty people in the water at Dee Why point before 0800 on Wednesday morning. And for obvious reasons. Wind was coming lightly from the west and out at sea the swell was 1.5 metres from 152° at 13 seconds apart. That meant sets into the head plus range were hitting both […]
Good morning to have slept in
Hello Friends, You had to be very, very keen to hit it this morning at Dee Why. As the pictures show, there were waves of a sort, but between the showers and relentless onshore wind, it didn’t look like an all-time experience. It seems we’re in for another three days of SE wind and showery […]
Long and clean south lines
Hello Friends, A chilly, breezy, sunny start to the day – and there’s swell. It’s SSE and 1.9 metres at sea with a juicy 15 second interval. As the pictures show, this means it’s mostly shutting down along the beach, but it’s also wrapping around the point. Mostly the waves are in the waist high […]
Another tiny morning at Dee Why
Hello Friends, Everything’s perfect at the beach this morning – apart from the waves. Swell out at sea is dead south again and about a metre at 8 seconds apart. So, it’s just going right past us, leaving the surf prospects at close to nil. It looks as though tomorrow might be up a bit […]
