Post-surf report

Hello Friends, Jumped in for an exercise paddle after seeing Longy looking like the above (0900-ish). The wind was coming lightly from the north and the NE swell was 1.5 metres at sea with a period of 11 seconds. Tide was coming into the rather high high at 1040. After paddling out, I discovered that […]

Another hot and tiny one

Hello Friends, Another sunny morning with knee to waist high sets along the beach at Dee Why. Swell at sea is around 1.4 metres at 9 seconds from the east to NE. Tide hits a swampy 1.87 m high at 0950. Wind was NW at 0730, but it’ll gradually swing around to the NE as […]

Another warm one with minimal surf

Hello Friends, The Dee Why SLSC overflow car park looked to be full by 0900 on what promises to be another very warm and sunny day. As the pictures show, surfwise it’s only a notch above absolute flat. You might get the odd little knee high set wave, but the waits will be long. Wind […]

High tide early and tiny

Hello Friends, We had a light NNW breeze at daybreak along the beaches and out at sea, the swell was a metre from the SSE at 12 seconds apart. You’ll be doing a fair amount of waiting this morning for a rideable one at the south exposures, and even then it’s struggling to be much […]

Tiny Friday morning

Hello Friends, Wind was 5-6 kts from the SW as of 0830 and swell at sea was 1.2 metres from the south-east at 11 seconds according to the MHL data from 0700. Dee Why wasn’t showing much of anything surfwise. You might be able to putt along for a few metres on a knee-high thing […]

The Goat’s Surf Forecast

Surf forecast issued Thursday 7 March 2024: Seven day outlook for Sydney TG didn’t see anything much good after the southerly came thru today.. only saw one desperate out. Outlook is not too exciting. particularly with more wind changes expected by the Bureau. But keep your hopes up and your eyes open and you might […]

Back to tiny again

Hello Friends, A warm and sunny start for Thursday, but our swell has faded away. Swell was coming from the SSE and was about 1.5 metresĀ  at 13 seconds. So, while Dee Why’s not doing much, I’d expect to find a few fun ones at the south exposures. Tide was a high 1.74 m at […]

Dee Why fading

Hello Friends, There are waves again this morning, but at least where Dee Why’s concerned, the sets are much smaller and fewer and farther between. Waves at the point were in the waist to chest-ish range and a bit bigger up the beach, but the long period means they’re mostly unmakeable shutdowns. The MHL data […]

Heaps of swell

Hello Friends, “Large and powerful surf conditions” ahead for today and tomorrow according to the Bureau. And, as you can see from the pics, swell is piling into Dee Why on a sunny and offshore autumnal morning. Swell at sea was 2.8 metres dead south at 11 seconds apart as of 0500. There’s definitely some […]

Sullen and southerly

Hello Friends, The wind went southerly last night and as of 0730 it was 17-26 kts under grey skies. Swell is beginning to build. At 0500 the MHL buoy was detecting 3.2 metres at 12 seconds from the south. The buoy off Port Kembla was seeing 4.8 metres, so the Bureau’s call for swell to […]
