Curly showing

Pretty chest high sets at Curl Curl around 0830. Longish waits and rides very brief and slow due to tide filling in. Chilly offshore wind an issue but sure makes the takeoff look pretty

Not too amazing folks

Hello Friends, SE at 1 metre with a typical period of 12 seconds means no surf at the Dee Why end of the Longy Dee Why stretch. We’re coming into a 1.5m high tide at 1005, so if you find a peak at a better exposed stretch, I’d guess it’ll be getting more fat and […]

Much diminished morning

Hello Friends, Light westerly winds fanning a gentle looking little 10-sec, 1.2 metre SE swell at Dee Why around 0700. Tide was running into a 1.5m high at 0920. By the time the low arrives at 1515, the wind should be out of the NE. We’re drifting into the doldrums of spring… There were a […]

Still a few little waves left

Hello Friends, Looks like the waves have faded in line with expectations, but as of 0720 there were still little SE waves coming into Dee Why beach and the point. I’d call them waist to chest high. It was 1.6 metres at 11.5 sec as of 0500. Tide is high at 0835 and will be […]

Fun Monday

Pretty sky this morning on way into RNSH to get my surfer’s ear attended to. Meanwhile according to the MIL buoy conditions should be fun at the beach with 3 metres of 12 sec se swell pushing in and light westerly winds. From look of forecast this could be as good as it gets all […]

Brownwater moments

One of those hoax waves that looks good for 2 sec and then fats out to nothing, Brownwater was doing its usual when I stopped by around noon.

Suitable at the Bower but

Swell mostly pushing past the Bower but there are occasional head plus sets coming through. Very fat and slow unfortunately.

Massive Sunday

Hello Friends, Wildly out of control at Dee Why this morning. At 0730 swell was 4.3 metres out of SSE at close to 13 seconds apart. There were some nice looking sections in the craziness, but mostly it was just too big. The swell peaked overnight at around 5.5 metres so it’s dropping slowly but […]

Dee Why big and messy

Hanging out and watching the swell build at Dee Why. As pics show it’s very messy and a major challenge for the hardy crew out in the washing machine conditions. Very hard to do much more than negotiate the choppy and lumpy faces as you look for something resembling open face…

Collaroy sheltered

Fair number of people in the water at Collaroy and the Kick. Although it’s chest to shoulder plus it’s also fat and slow.
