Forerunners at Dee Why

Half a dozen keen types waiting out the lulls late this afternoon. Every 10 mins or so a one or two wave set delivers waist to chest and rather soft but super clean waves. In between sets too small to catch. Set arrives…

Another beautiful but tiny morning

Hello Friends, You know yesterday? Well, that was a good practice run for to today. The MHL buoy was showing less than a metre of 11-sec SSE swell as of 0600 and as you can see from the pictures, there won’t be any surfing at Dee Why this morning. Tide was coming into the 1.5m […]
