Hello Friends,

Dee Why beach still showing a little something.

Tiny days are coming… but they aren’t quite here yet as reporter Rob has already noted. I was able to grab a snap of a little peak folding into Dee Why at aroun 0720. It seemed to be quite a wait between people catching waves though.  No wind to speak of, so it’s glassy and the sunny skies make for a pretty picture even if the waves are marginal and getting steadily more so.

The Bureau says the wind will be lightly out of the southerly quarters in the morning, before giving way to afternoon seabreezes from the NE. We’re still without the Sydney MHL buoy, but the Bureau’s call for 1-1.5 metre s to se windswell fits with what we’re seeing. The sets I saw had a period of around 8-9 seconds, and that’s pretty similar to what the Batemans Bay buoy is reporting.

The computer models are calling for very small to flat conditions across the next week for the Sydney region. It looks to me as though you’ll need to pull out your favourite tiny conditions gear. If you’re a bit light on in that department, you should consider dropping by the first ever RS Demo Day at Dee Why to Longy stretch. The good folk from GSI will have close to a dozen different brands for anyone to try out. Naturally there’ll be a good selection of mals and fishes from the likes of McTavish, 7S and NSP. Conditions look set to be ideal for beginners (and people looking to get something suitable for a beginner!) to try out a fun board, a softboard or a starter mal.

Have yourself a top old day and go well with your plans!

The waves are pretty dam average this morning. It’s about a foot or two, messy and closing out, the only thing MV has going for it today is the high tide, but even that probably won’t do it many favours, yeeeeww

Pretty small, people!

Despite the forecasts, the swell continues to hang around another day, but it’s dropped from y’day.

What a wild day it was Monday. Started off pumping at the Point, by mid morning has faded, then by mid afternoon that nor’wester kicked in, it all smoothed out and the swell started pumping again right up til about dark. There were some folks getting some great cover up and down the beach all day but it was shifty and the big ones mostly closing out. Still, the conditions were great, even if the banks weren’t.  

Hard to say what it’ll do today. Nobody on the Point at 0700 but crew of about 20 up the middle at Dee Why getting a couple nice ones now and again.  Sets in the chest to head high vicinity.  

Forecast is for the southerly to go nor’east later in the day and for the swell to drop. High temperature forecast is for 26 but it’s already 25 here in Dee Why at 0700… Cheers,  Rob

Fine, dry and warm on the Central Coast this Tuesday morning.  The swell is smooth and smaller at 1 – 3 feet from the southeast.  There is no breeze at the moment but forecast to go southeast then northwest then northeast later.  Low tide 0500 and high tide around 1135.  Local barometer 1008 hpa, 92% humidity, 19 degrees C.  Have a good one.
