Little waves for the early

Hello Friends, Another sunny start with weak knee to waist high NE wind waves at the focal points. Wind was coming from the NNE at 7-11 kts as of 0700. As the day warms up to the 29C high, the wind will get into the 15-25 kt range. Swell at sea was 1.1 metres at […]

Just barely there

Hello Friends, It’s been NNE since 0300 and by 0800 it was 7-11 kts. Surface conditions were just beginning to show some texture, which would have been okay if there was more swell energy. It was coming from the east and a touch over a metre out at sea, but the period was just 5 […]

Weak and puny Thursday morning

Hello Friends, Had hoped it might be similar to yesterday this morning, but as the pics show, it’s not. A 7-11 kt ENE wind was texturing it up by 0800 and the 1.1 metre 9-sec east wind bump was struggling to deliver waist high faces on the sets at better exposures. On top of that, […]

Missable Wednesday morning

Hello Friends, Swell’s faded away to knee to waist high at best. It’s raining and although the wind was still SSW at 0830, it’s going to be southerly before long. Only people I saw in the water were the few hopefuls at Dee Why (see pics) and an optimist paddling out into the weak, little […]

Glassy little peaks everywhere

Hello Friends, Light offshore breeze to open proceedings this Thursday. And, as the pictures show, there were knee to waist-ish waves all over the place. You’ll do a bit of sitting around (so what else is new?) and they’re more soft than not, but you’ll definitely jag yourself a few. Onshores should come up this […]

A bit of NE windswell for the early

Hello Friends, NE magnets were delivering soft but rideable waist to chest high waves as Saturday kicked off in sunny style. It looked to be a bit of a wait between rideable ones too. Wind blew all night and was 6-9 kts at 0700. It’ll get up to 15-20 kts as the day goes along. […]

Waves about for Saturday morning

Hello Friends, Light NW wind and a metre and a bit of 8-second ESE was delivering waist to the occasional plus all along the beaches. And as the pictures show, there were plenty of surfers in the water by 0630. Tide was coming off the predawn low at 0410 and will hit the 1.67m high […]

Clean and very small on Saturday morning

Hello Friends, Cool and clean this morning along the beaches, with a fading NE wind swell in the metre at 9 second range, surf prospects however were marginal. The waits looked to be long and the sets struggling to deliver wave faces much above the waist high mark. Tide was moderately high at 0615 and […]

Puny tiddlers for the keen

Hello Friends, If you’re desperate for a wave, there are very soft and gutless little things wafting into those places that focus ENE wind swell. Size is in the ankle to knee high range with the odd waist plus bomb. Swell at sea was 1.3m from 64° (ENE) at a choppy 5 seconds apart. Wind […]

Hello Friends, Clear skies overhead at daybreak along the beaches. Swell out at sea has dropped a bit overnight with the buoys reporting 1.4 metres of 10-11 second energy from the SE (147°). Wind was westerly 12-16 kts at sunrise and should stay that way this morning before gradually swing toward the southerly quarters by […]
