Should be little waves about

Hello Friends, Looks as though there should be a few small waves about this morning. The settings are virutally identical to yesterday. Swell is out of the SSE at around 1.5 metres on average with a period of 9 seconds. Find yourself a spot with optimal exposure and you ought to see the occasional chest […]

Couple pics from high tide Manly

Hi all High tide was doing a number on the waves at Manly this morning. The swell was/is fun size, the wind was from a good direction and the weather was nice. It wasn’t even super crowded on the Manly scale. However, the banks seem to be pretty subtle and with all the water over […]

Afternoon notes

Hello Friends, Did you get in? Seems that the swell decided to track around to the SSE as Saturday went along. Happily it held on to its size and period, so there should be some in the tank yet. I had business elsewhere most of the day, but when I finally had another look at […]

We still have waves, but go now

Hello Friends, Fair amount of cloud overhead at first light this morning. Swell has dropped a fair amount in the last 24 hours and is now averaging a touch under 2 metres from the SSE at around 9 seconds apart. Wind’s not going too hard as the day gets started. Doesn’t look as though it’ll […]

Grey old day but not flat

Hello Friends, Conditions are distinctly ordinary. Wind was out of the NW to NE at around 0700, but I think the fact that it was SE yesterday (and overnight) has ensured that we have a junky start. In fact it’s only going to get messier as the day goes along because the wind is set […]

Morning pic round-up: Dee Why

As with yesterday, your correspondent found himself beguiled by the possibility of a wave at the point. So, after grabbing a few shots, I went for surf. Not as good as yesterday, but there were still a few fun sets and the vibe was stoked. A worthy expenditure of a couple hours I thought.

Morning run around, Freshy to DY

All pretty fat and full along the southern end of the peninsula this morning (as those of you who checked out the vid broadcast from the beach). Here are a few snaps to give you a feel for the conditions.

Sunny skies and a little smaller

Hello Friends, Nice to see sunny conditions and a few little waves around along the northern beaches this morning. The tide is affecting it, but the swell is sticking around, albeit at a slightly diminished size and power level. Average is around 1.5 metres and it’s coming from the SSE at around 9 seconds apart. […]

Arvo update

Hello Friends, As his august Goatness has noted, the south swell, while definitely here, has not quite lived up to the advance billing. As of noon the MHL Sydney buoy was showing SSE swell of close to 2 metres at 9 seconds. Meanwhile, down at Batemans Bay the same settings prevailed roughly 8 hours earlier. […]
