SE junkiness this morning
Hello Friends, 15-20 kts of SE wind knocking the 2 metre 7 second period SE swell about in the way you’d expect. Dee Why looking very junky and messy – but not flat. As usual this summer, the forecast is calling for a shower or two and cloudy skies. On the good side, the MHL […]
Grab the last scraps if you can v.2
Hello Friends, We had a light SW breeze for the early risers this morning. It was chopping lots of places up and generally maintaining yesterday afternoon’s so-so surface conditions. Huey’s turned the power setting down on the two metre SE swell. It’s now around the 7 second mark, so yesterday’s average wave is more like […]
Rainy morning with a helping of onshores and a dollop of SE dribble
Hello Friends, Once again, not the most delightful conditions as Saturday got started along Sydney’s beaches. Showers and drizzle were being pushed ashore by a lazy E to SE breeze. There were a few hardy types trying to extract a little fun from the flabby knee to waist high wind swell working into the corner […]
Not too pretty
Hello Friends, There is some energy about this morning, but gee it’s not too lovely looking. The wind’s out of the ENE at 10-15kts, so it’s solidly onshore at Dee Why. The swell is a couple metres out at sea and coming from the SE, but Huey’s got the power setting at an anemic 7 […]
Rain but little waves too
Hello Friends, Out of the usual routine this morning, so running a couple hours late with my observations. Never mind, I can report that there are some small, junky and fairly weak waves around the place. For instance, at around 0730 folks were catching waist high plus sections at the Bower. Tide’s coming in though, […]
Heat gone, greyness back
Hello Friends, As expected, the windswell has perked up slightly this morning. It’s nothing fabulous at Dee Why but there are a few folks chasing lumps along the beach north from the SLSC. According to the latest data from the MHL buoy, the swell’s out’ve the SE at two metres but since the period’s only […]
Burgerland
Hello Friends, Light easterly winds are delivering a chopfest to our beaches. Outlook is for the wind to be E/SE all day, so you’ll want to be extra keen to get in the water I’d say. On top of the wind, or rather under it, the sea is currently slopping a rather ordinary SE windswell […]
Midday snapshot
Just back from another wander around the northern beaches and it appears that there is nowhere really doing it. About the best of the bunch were the chaotic sections popping up at Dee Why point and the tide-fattened little sections at south Steyne. Reporter PB and I had a coffee at the cafe across from […]
Blowy old day
Hello Friends, Our old friend Mr. SE’r is running around making a mess of things this morning. Yes, the size has picked up a little more overnight so that it’s now averaging around the 2 metre mark, but while there has been a slight improvement to the power setting, it’s still not quite 8 seconds.
