Looks like we have little waves this morning, but the indications are that it will slip toward flatness over the next 24 hours and then stay that way from around Sunday to Tuesday. The plan is definitely to go early and catch the dropping tide at south swell spots that don’t mind breezes from the northern quarters.
Size looks to be around the waist high mark with the very occasional slightly bigger one. The last couple days have seen pretty ordinary conditions, but this morning did look just a touch cleaner to me when I checked Northy and Dee Why. Set the expectations for barely surfable and I doubt you’ll be disappointed!
Have yourself a top old day!

Little lines stack in to the point from the ESE.
Hello Friends,
There seem to be some small waves around this morning at Dee Why. A few bods were flopping around at the point where the sets look to be in the waist to chest high range. Quality looks okay but the period is only around the 8 second mark, so they’re not exactly juicy. Swell direction is now ESE and from the look of the charts it will, if anything, get more east in it as the day goes along.
Wind was lighlty offshore when I checked it at first light, but the call is for the wind direction to swing more to the northern quarters. The good thing is that it’s set to be light all day.
With luck we should start to see the swell perk up a little as the day goes along. The average heights up the coast from about Coffs north is currently sitting above the two metre mark. Given that the swell generator is up that way, I think we can at least entertain hopes of improvement for late this afternoon.
oops gotta do the 702 ABC radio report… back shortly
Next tide is a high at 1043 followed by a low at 1612.

Lots and lots of folk having a splash this morning.
Sunday starts out with light winds and a little SE swell for the thousands to enjoy. Dee Why looks pretty crowded (whadya expect given the mild sunny temps on the first weekend of the hols?). Sets look as though they might occasionally get into the chest high range, but for the most part I’d be expecting to find mostly waist high and smaller waves this morning.
Swell direction looks to have moved a little more to the east overnight. Sadly the MHL buoy is off the air again, so we don’t have the extra assurance of an objective record. Reminds one of Mr Dylan’s famous line… you don’t need a weatherman to tell ya which way the wind blows.
If you’re getting out there for a wave – and I reckon you should do – looks like the plan is to get yourself into the patient zone so you can enjoy your share of whatever Huey feels like serving up.
Go well!
