Looking mighty tiny
Hello Friends, Rather small at Dee Why centre when I grabbed the snap this morning a little after 0730. There were two folk bobbing about in the low and glassy SSE swell. Out at sea it’s around the metre mark at about 8 seconds apart, so there isn’t much prospect of anything bigger coming in […]
Pics from Thursday: North Narrabeen
After lunch I wandered over to North Narrabeen to see what was what. There were small waves from about the Pines all the way to the Alley. A bunch of bodyboarders were looking to get smashed near carparks, while up at Northy things were slightly less hectic for the small crowd. As with Curly, the […]
Very tiny again
Hello Friends, Dull grey skies this morning were hinted at late yesterday when cloud came sliding over the western horizon. There was a little perk (as foretold by the models) yesterday afternoon at south swell spots. I managed to jag a few fun ones at Longy where sets got into the chest to shoulder high […]
Sleep all day
Hello Friends, Well, as expected, the surf situation is pretty marginal. That hasn’t stopped a small fleet of super peak acolytes from attending that celebrated heap of submerged Dee Why sand though. Sets are further apart and it’s much smaller than this time yesterday. About the biggest thing I saw was struggling to make chest […]
Cool out there this morning
Hello Friends, Nippy out there (by Sydney standards) this morning. Scattered cloud about as the day gets into gear, and most important, we have a little trickle of swell for those who like their carpark suiting up on the brisk side. Happily, there is a tiny trickle of swell for the keen. It’s characterised by […]
Very, very quiet
Hello Friends, It’s a pleasant enough early winter’s day in Sydney, but the surf situation is pretty ordinary. About the best you can say is that at least it’s not dead south, so something does trickle in every now and again. Swell at sea is around a metre from the SSE at about 8 seconds […]
Extra tinyness with that tinyness?
Hello Friends, Running behind with my contribution this morning. Wish it was because I’d been surfing. Sadly, we have a classic little (we hope!) winter-style flat spell. We have west to WNW winds and a very small, just about straight south swell. That combo will be delivering next to nothing at most places. You might […]
Quiet start to Sunday
Hello Friends, Dull skies greeted Sydneysiders this morning. Dull skies and small, but not flat, conditions at Dee Why. The MHL data shows we have the same metre or so of SSE windswell (8 sec period) we’ve seen for the last couple days. The good news then is if you found a wave yesterday, go […]
Still waiting out here
Hello Friends, Weak little south pulse showing on the buoy data this morning, but I can’t see much of anything showing at Dee Why. But I wasn’t really expecting to, given that it’s barely a metre out at sea from the SSE and the period is a gutless 8 seconds. It should push up […]
Almost like summer
Hello Friends, Fine and mostly sunny all day is the forecast for Sydney. Wind is light and variable now but it will swing around to the NE and build up to a summery 10-15kts. What would be really good is if we could have some swell to go with the conditions. It’s not quite flat, […]
