Breezy and small

Hello Friends, A sparkling post-change morning for Tuesday in Sydney. A classic southerly buster yesterday afternoon swept away the heat and flicked the wind swell around to the south. As of 0400 the MHL buoy was showing 2.3 metres of 9-sec dead south out at sea. Three hours later when I grabbed the pics, there […]

Very small Monday

Hello Friends, Headed for a hot day before a gusty southerly change late this afternoon. In the meantime we should see northerly wind springing up over the next few hours. As you can see from the pictures, there’s no hint of a wave at the Dee Why end of the beach. A quick scan of […]

Waves for Sunday morning

Hello Friends, Contrary to expectations there were little waves to be had at Dee Why this morning. Nothing amazing of course, but if you can have fun on knee to waist high wind bumps, you’d be having fun. Wind was light from the NW and swell was around the 1.4 m mark and coming from […]

Waves for Saturday morning

Hello Friends, Been awhile wince we’ve had glassy waist plus at lots of place on a Saturday morning, but that’s exactly the situation today. Wind was barely there when I grabbed the pics and skies were clear on a day the BoM tells us will reach a summery 26. Along the Collaroy to Narrabeen stretch […]

Where are the waves Huey?

Hello Friends, For much of the last week the swell models have been showing a little south pulse this morning, but as of 0700 it wasn’t really evident at Dee Why. The MHL buoy was showing a slight uptick from the S-SSW into the 1.7 m range. Unfortunately, the average period was a meagre 6 […]

Murky and micro morning

Hello Friends, Heavy overcast and light WSW wind as Thursday kicked off. A very faint wind bump is dribbling in from the south, but as far as Dee Why’s concerned, it’s too weak and tiny to catch. Swell is about a metre out at sea, but it’s dead south and only 5-6 seconds apart. Could […]

Clean and tiny early

Hello Friends, As of 0400, the swell was around the metre mark and coming from the SE at 10 seconds. Tide was low at 0555 and will hit a 1.5 m high at 1225. Your correspondent was out and about with the camera a few hours later and as the pictures confirm, energy levels are […]

Very small lines on Tuesday morning

Hello Friends, Another beautiful morning for Sydney. At 0630 we had clear skies and light NNW breezes along the beaches. The MHL buoy was detecting 1.2 m of 10 sec of SSE swell which, as the pictures show, was turning into ankle to knee high little lines at the point and maybe knee and a […]

Pretty morning

Hello Friends, Still a few raindrops sparkling from among the gum leaves after last night’s rain. Skies were clearing and the wind coming lightly from the west as the morning got started. The wind is set to swing south this morning and then back to the easterly quarters by this afternoon. Swell was up slightly […]
