Not much today
Hello Friends, As you look at the depressing flatness of your favourite beach this morning, it’s worth knowing that you could go pretty much anywhere on the east coast and not find anything much better. There’s not much of anything in this morning’s forecast data either. We might possibly get some little bumps at east […]
Tiny but clean this morning
Hello Friends, Rather cool – by Sydney standards – this morning, but the wind is offshore and we still have a microscopic line trickling in. The primary swell direction is out of ESE and it’s a about a metre on average out at the MHL buoy, but the average period is close to 7 seconds. […]
Cool start, autumn is in the air
Hello Friends, Sunny morning in Sydney once again, but quite a bit cooler than yesterday. A harbinger of mornings to come as autumn gears up. Energy levels are still at a low ebb on the surf front though. We’re almost at the midway point of April and we’re still not seeing things fire up along […]
Beautiful autumn morning… but…
Hello Friends, The forecast says we have an 80% chance of rain this afternoon, but this morning the weather was just about perfect. Only problem is the swell has dried up almost completely. The MHL buoy is showing about a metre of 6 second period dribble from the NE. That translated into knee high sets […]
Good day for voting
Hello Friends, No sign of a rideable wave at Dee Why this morning. Not a sausage. Beautiful start to the day though. Kinda chilly maybe, but lovely nonetheless. While there’s really not much of any hope for a wave this morning, you might find a little something toward dusk tomorrow when we just might get […]
Good morning for a sleep in
Hello Friends, What can you say? The forecasts were right. The last little traces of swell disappeared from Sydney overnight. The MHL data shows less than a metre of 7 sec south chop. You won’t be doing much surfing around here today. I thought about what I’d do today, and I think I’m sleeping in. […]
Looks flat from here
Hello Friends, Well, as expected, it was really very small this morning as the sun rose on 1 July 2010 in Sydney. The MHL buoy is showing just half a metre of 8 second period south swell. From the look of the other swell buoy data along the coast, the flatness prevails from Eden to […]
Flat? Sure is
Hello Friends, At about midday yesterday, Huey started turning down the juice very quickly. It went from around two metres at 11 seconds to a metre at 6 seconds this morning. But that’s what you get when the wind blows hard offshore like it has been overnight. The latest forecast is for the SW wind […]
It was a dark and stormy morning
Hello Friends, One of those mornings when I don’t mind the prospect of a coffee and desk work so much. 20-30 kts of SSE wind, lowering grey skies and a 2 metre SE swell with a power setting of only 6 seconds. As this morning’s picture shows, it was not an attractive scene where Dee […]
very, very nearly flat
Hello Friends, Looks very small but not quite flat. There are a few little ones getting into the stretch between No Mans and Dee Why and between Gardens and Northy. However, it is really small. Knee high bomb sets and 5 metre rides is pretty much the story. Outlook for the rest of the day […]
