Back to minor after that burst of swell

Hello Friends, Swell’s faded dramatically overnight and this morning at 0730 set waves were struggling to make the waist high mark at Dee Why beach. It’s now too small to surf the point. Wind was a light NNW’ly and tide was dropping from the 1.66 m high at 0640. It’ll be back to low at […]

Much smaller than yesterday but waves to be had

Hello Friends, Swell still going this morning, having dropped significantly in the last 24 hours. We still have a combo of NE and SE swell, sot there’s plenty of energy in the system. As of 0600 the MHL buoy was showing the dominant vector was two metres of 13 sec SE. Tide is dropping to […]

Thumping lines pouring in for the early

Hello Friends, Wind was light as two or so metres of 17 second SSE swell plus some smaller but similar long-period stuff from the NE lined into the beaches of Sydney this morning. At Dee Why the point was close to maxxing on the bombs but the slightly smaller head and a bit stuff was […]

Waves for Sunday morning

Hello Friends, First day back from my trip up north and whadya know, there are waves. The MHL buoy is showing 1.5 metres of 8-0 sec from the east, but there were definitely shoulder to head high wave faces at the point and up the beach – which is more than I’d have expected from […]

Postcards from Crescent: you’re really not missing it

Hello Friends, After a rainy night, Saturday morning dawned overcast and still. Unfortunately there’s only a very weak knee and a bit high east windswell lapping into Crescent Head. Four folk on standups were having a cut at it, but even with the leverage of paddles they were having a tough time catching and staying […]

Arrawarra postcards

Raining on and off as we head south. First sight of the ocean since Lennox and the onshores are smashing the little bumps at Arrawarra as up north. Impressively despite the conditions a couple of stalwarts were in the water on very long boards. Points for getting the stoke happening!

TG’s Surf Forecast

Postcards from Lennox

Hello Friends, What a contrast to yesterday’s glassy and sunny conditions. Lennox Head sees sloppy chest plus conditions this morning under grey skies. Wind was light but it’ll be around to the east later and that obviously won’t improve things. One of those situations when you’ve had really good waves the day before and it’s […]

Surf report

There were waves aplenty around lunchtime…with absurd midweek crowd numbers to match…zoom in on the black dots in the water
