Still a few left in the tank

Hello Friends, Swell faded overnight and it’s due to dribble away completely over the next 24 hours. As of 0630 there were still some pretty little chest high lines coming into Dee Why and wind was coming lightly from the NW. It’s expected to pick up into the 15-20 kt range later and when it […]

Still some swell for Monday morning

Hello Friends, Light west breeze and somewhat lumpy conditions for the weekend sized crowd in the water at Dee Why around 0640 when I grabbed the pics. The MHL buoy was seeing 2.8m from the SSE at 11 seconds, so it’s off the peak of yesterday, but still capable of producing overhead sets at the […]

Watching Dee Why

One look at the conditions and I knew it wouldn’t involve me. It was 2-3x overhead on the bombs – which were very frequent. Not a day for rocking off. Quality is not great but not hopeless. Longer boards have the advantage. Will post more pics in next couple days but here are a few […]

Not small at all

Hello Friends, Wild and woolly as Sunday got started. Sunny skies and light westerly wind greeting a raw looking south swell at Dee Why. Tide is heading to high at 1100 and swell is supposed to fade this morning. It was around 3.7 metres at 0600 and coming from the SSE at 14 seconds apart. […]

Still waves at dusk

Hello Friends, Just a late update to report that there were still waves to be had at Dee Why as the sun sank in the west. Wind was SSE 8-10 kts, so surface conditions for the late session were definitely choppy and junky looking. Swell is expected to still be happening tomorrow morning and with […]

Solid Dee Why late am

Somewhat scrappy but seeing 1.5x overhead sets regularly. DYSF running a comp and another dozen plus in the water. I’ve been taking pics for an hour or so and it seems to be getting messier so you need to be strong and keen.

Pumping Saturday morning

Hello Friends, A couple metres of 11-sec south swell pushing in as Saturday kicked off. The Bureau says it should come up a bit more this morning too. Waves were solidly overhead on the bombs at Dee Why point and on sets up the beach. There were 30 people in the water at the former […]

Swell at sunset

Waves looking very fun at the point and on the beach at 5pm on Friday afternoon. Pretty busy at the point but reasonably consistent. Really wish I had my board…

Clear skies, offshores, and an ocean full of lines

Hello Friends, Beautiful Friday morning with waves for those fortunate enough to be able to get into ’em. At 0600 the MHL buoy off Sydney was picking up two metres of south (165 degrees) swell with around 11-12s periods.  At the point that meant typical waves were in the waist to chest range, but judging […]
