Little waves about

Hello Friends,

Well, looks like we have some little waves. Overnight the windswell jumped from one up to two metres from the NE. Period’s only about 8 sec, so we aren’t talking huge and powerful, but there are definitely prospects for fun around the place.

Dee Why’s not usually the first place you’d look for a wave when the windswell’s out of the NE, but I saw a couple amusing looking chest high set waves when I climbed up for my traditional morning pictures.

We’re in for a stinkin’ hot day with NW wind, so it’s good to see that for once there should be a few waves to be had at most places (apart from those with mainly south exposure).

And just quietly, I’m liking the look of next week. More thoughts on that later…

On other matters, I’ve managed to get our spiffy shop graphic working on our main pages. I’ll try to add another product or two soon, but you can grab a FoRS shirt and cup right now.

Go well!

The heat

Hello Friends,

0650: NE windswell froths things up.

0650: NE windswell froths things up.

Pretty lumpy and messy looking at Dee Why this morning. As expected, the big blow yesterday afternoon and evening pushed up a reasonable amount of short period windswell. Sets at the point were getting toward the shoulder high range on the bigger ones, but the quality is not too impressive. I’d be looking at other, more NE windswell-friendly locations if I was keen to get in.

It has to be said that the water is looking pretty ordinary thanks to the heavy rains yesterday afternoon and evening. You wouldn’t want to go in with any unhealed wounds or if your immune system wasn’t in tip top condition. I’d be there will be a few surfers sitting in doctors’ offices looking for antibiotics later this week.

Surf is not likely to last long, but with luck it should hold through this afternoon. As most Sydneysiders will know, we’re in for a baking today with highs expected to reach 34. Wind is light and from the NW as I write this a little after 0700, but there is a strong wind warning for N-NW winds of 18-23 kts increasing to 20-30kts by this afternoon.
