Still a few in the tank

Hello Friends, Waves are getting smaller and the lulls are longer, but there were still a few head plus wave faces at magnets as Wednesday got started. The forecast tells us it’ll probably be around the chest high mark at those places by this afternoon. Swell at sea was 1.7 metres at 11 seconds from […]

Be careful

Hello Friends, Huey’s dialling it up today, so if you’re jumping in, know your limits. As of  0740 swell was 2-3 metres at 10 seconds from the SSE (168°). At 0800 the wind was coming from the WSW at 10-15 kts, but as the forecast below indicates, it’s going to ramp up into the 20-30 […]

More waves for Wednesday

Hello Friends, And the amazing Autumn of 2021 continues. As of 0730 the swell was 1.5 metres at 13 seconds from the SE (165°) and wind was 10 kts from the west. Tide is low at 0800 and a modest 1.26 m high arrives at 1410. Did the Manly run and can report that wave […]

The marine forecast tells us the Bureau expects the low offshore to deepen – meaning both an […]

Little but not flat everywhere

Blowing the top off a shutdown section at mid Curl Curl

Hello Friends, More smoke haze from burning off expected in Sydney this morning. The waves have clicked down another notch too. It’s a metre at 12 seconds from 159°(SSE). Wind was light WNW early, ocean is 21C and first tide of the day is a 1.7 m high at 0900. It’ll be back to low […]

Sunday evening snaps

Went for a bike ride at the end of the day and checked the beaches on the way home. Kinda choppy surface, but not badly so and while mostly in the waist high range, better exposures were chest to shoulder on the sets.

Offshore early but faded from yesterday

Hello Friends, Swell’s cogged down overnight, shaving off about 0.5 m over yesterday at this time. As of 0730 it was dead south, 1.5 m and 8 seconds apart. Wind was coming lightly from the west and tide was coming off the 0600 low. It’ll be back to the 1.58 m high at noon. Should […]
