Quiet early

Hello Friends, The ocean wasn’t doing much as Anzac Day dawned. There was high overcast early and it’s expected to rain by this afternoon. Wind was light early but we’re in for a fair amount of it later from the NW by this evening. Swell was coming from the east and was about a metre […]

Monday morning good for anything but surfing

Hello Friends, A beautiful almost still morning as the day started in Dee Why. Only one thing was missing, as you can see from the piccie. For the record, the MHL buoy was detecting a metre of 11-sec SSE at 0600, so in theory there could be a knee to waist high bump at magnet […]

Tiny waves this morning

Hello Friends, A warm and sunny Sunday morning sees only knee and a bit high waves at Dee Why as of 0800. Wind was WSW and light, while the MHL buoy was picking up a metre of 7-sec SE wind bump. Tide was high at 0525 and is now dropping to a low at 1150. […]

Glassy little bumps for the keen

Hello Friends, Light NNW wind before 0700 under high overcast skies. Waist and a bit high glassy bumps at magnet peaks from Dee Why to Longy and from south Narrabeen to Northy. Windswell 1.3 metres and coming mainly from the SE with a choppy and gutless period of about 6 seconds. As a consequence waves […]

Smooth and small at Dee Why

Hello Friends, Another beautiful morning in Sydney with little knee and a bit waves trickling in from the south at 0730. The MHL buoy was picking up a metre of 11-sec stuff from 178 degrees. It was too small for the point to produce anything, so you’re confined to the magnet peaks at south exposures. […]

Surf report

Very small and glassy at the mouth of the Snowy River. No one out.

TG’s Surf Forecast

Surf forecast issued Thursday 20 April 2017: Seven day outlook for Sydney As the waves gently lap on the shore of 90 mile beach victoria, the stars are shining and the air is still…so nothing’s coming your way from the south. Friday: about 1 metre or so East Saturday: ditto North East Sunday: about 1 […]

Small but glassy early

Hello Friends, Swell has cogged down again overnight and as of 0600 the MHL buoy was showing 1.3 metres of 12-sec SSE swell. Only a handful of people in the water on a glassy Thursday morning at Dee Why. Sets into the chest high range were turning up every now and then, but it looked […]

Junky and getting smaller

Hello Friends, Conditions at Dee Why were not nearly as attractive as they’ve been for most of the last week. Surface is choppy and although the MHL buoy is showing only a slight decrease from yesterday, the average wave looks to be about half the size, ie about waist high on the typical catchable one […]

Wave machine still making waves

Hello Friends, In line with expectations, it’s a bit smaller again this morning, but there are still shoulder high wave faces on sets at Dee Why. Conditions early were clean and the MHL buoy was showing 1.4m of 13 second SE swell. Tide was low at 0720 and is coming into a 1.2m high at […]
