Sunny start and fun looking waves

Hello Friends, Lovely start to the day at Dee Why. 1.5 metres of 8-9s period SE swell and light wind under mainly clear skies delivering waist to shoulder plus wave faces at the point and along the beach at 0700. Point looked moderately busy (a dozen or so on it) but the beachy was more […]

Rainy and small

Hello Friends, Nice morning for ducks. Not much wind early, so I guess that’s something. There were a few folks in the water when it finally got light enough to see (and the rain backed off for a minute). Looked smooth enough, but lumpy, and maybe waist to chest on the biggest faces. Unfortunately, the […]

Saturday morning with waves

Hello Friends, Pretty spring morning with an incoming tide and a fading SE wind swell. At 0500 the MHL buoy was picking up about 1.5 metres of 8.5 second ESE-SE wind swell. When I checked it around 0630, there were occasional waist to chest plus wave faces to be had from south to north Narrabeen. […]

Quiet but not actually dead

Hello Friends, Swell was out of the SE at around 1.3 metres on average with a typical period of about 8 seconds. Tide was low a little after 0700 and will be high a little after 1300. Wind was light SE but is expected to swing NE by this afternoon. At Dee Why the typical […]

Hello Friends, If you were up early, you were in for a fun sesh at lots of SE spots this morning. Depending on where you went, you’d find set wave faces in the chest to shoulder plus (on the bombs) range. Tide’s coming in pretty quickly, so I reckon by around 0930 it’ll start to […]

Mostly marginal but not flat

      Hello Friends, Just a tiny trickle of knee to waist high bumps for the early risers this morning. Tide was low at 0625 and will hit high around 1300, so the plan is to get in asap I’d say. Outlook across the next week is for more of this kind of thing […]

As you were

Hello Friends, A day to get on with other aspects of life I’d say. Sunny morning, true, but wind is lightly onshore and, worse, the SE swell is a sputtery 8 second thing with an average height at sea only a touch above the metre mark. I didn’t see anyone in the water at Dee […]

Not the best, but at least it’s not raining

Hello Friends, Light E to NEly breezes to start the day along the beaches of Sydney. That did no favours for the weak 8 second period, 1.5 metre SE wind swell that greeted early risers. The wind’ll pick up a bit more later, so your best shot at a wave will be in the protected […]

The late mail

Hello Friends, Was down at Dee Why right on dark for a picture shoot (might get a snap of me in the Sunday Tele), so I had plenty of time to watch the goings on at the peak just north of the SLSC. The 8 second period SE windswell may be a couple metres out […]

Hey! Little waves!

Hello Friends, A little 8s SE swell is providing a few small diversions at spots that like that sort of thing. Nothing too huge because it’s only 1.5m out at sea, but there should be the odd waist high set around the place. Tide’s high at 0915 and low at 1600. But the afternoon sesh […]
