Wind and heat

Hello Friends, 26 degrees by 0800. Real spring weather – in equatorial Africa that is. The gusty north wind was flattening the metre or so of 7 second south swell. There were knee high sets rolling slowly in at Dee Why, so maybe at a better exposed stretch, there’d be something approaching waist high. The […]

What? Still flat at Dee Why? Awww…

Hello Friends, Another morning of flatness for Dee Why. Primary swell direction has gone around to the SSE. It’s about a metre at sea, but the period is just 7 seconds. I don’t think there’s much chance of improvement today, sadly. Maybe tomorrow… but then the wind will be a factor. It’s set to be […]

Non-surfing Sunday

Hello Friends, I can keep it short and not so sweet this morning: there really aren’t any waves at Dee Why. There might possibly be something catchable around at Curly, but given how weak it was yesterday, I’d be mildly surprised if it was shortboardable. Beautiful day though. Tide’ll hit low at 1110 and come […]

Rainy start to Tuesday

Hello Friends, It’s all not happening this morning. Had a look at Curly, Dee Why and Northy and all up I spotted a total of four people in the water. One each at Northy and Curly and the other two at Dee Why centre. This is not surprising however. The combination of grey, periodically rainy, […]

Little waves about for the keen

Hello Friends, Well whadya know. There were a few small wave like things around this morning. It’s really not much different from yesterday but there were a few more people in the water at Dee Why and North Narrabeen chasing the occasional knee to waist high set. The Bureau is saying the swell ought to […]

Corker of a morning, tiny though

Hello Friends, The conditions could hardly be better. Sparkling day after yesterday’s grey and rain. But if you’re looking for a wave, you’ll be needing something pretty floaty. There’s only a tiny E- ESE windswell showing along the beaches of Sydney. The most exposed spots are just barely producing waist high sets. And there are […]

Oh dear

Hello Friends, Late yesterday there was a little spike in the period into the ten second range and if you were in the right place there were waves into the chest high range. But we’re back to 7 seconds average for the metre or so of SSE windswell. What that means for Dee Why is […]

Sunshine & little waves

Hello Friends, It’s awful small, but it ain’t quite flat. Pretty much in line with expectations really. The Collaroy-Narra stretch was damn puny, but there were a few bods in anyway. Warm water and a sunny morning will do that. Biggest waves I saw were struggling to get to waist high, although I’m sure there […]
