Waves for the early but wind picking up

Hello Friends, Northerly wind was coming up by 0900 on its way to 15-25 kts later. Waves looked somewhat junky when I grabbed the pics, but they were in the chest plus range on sets and definitely rideable. Tide was dropping to the 0.5 m low at 1000 (it’s back to a shallow 1.3m high […]

Saturday surfing day

Hello Friends, Swell is out of the east at 10 seconds with a height at sea of 2 metres, wind was light early but going NE later. Going for a high of 27 ° and ocean is  24°. Tide is dropping to low at 0840 then flooding back into the high at 1445 – by which time […]

Northy firing at dusk

Out for a ride and discovered Northy is clean and head to head plus with an unusually light crowd.

Junk specialists only this morning

Hello Friends, Well, as the pictures show, there is swell, but surface conditions are terrible thanks to a steady 10-15 kts of ESE wind. I saw a few people in the water in the corner at Manly, a couple more out at the Bower and then nobody at Curly or the Dee Why to Longy […]

TG’s Surf Forecast

The Goat’s Surf Forecast Surf Forecast issued Thursday 22 March 2018: Seven day outlook for Sydney: Messy again tomorrow. Then it should start to tidy up a bit from Saturday onwards, gradually going down through the week, but with waves for most of the time… And it looks like we’ll get some more patches of […]

Another stormy day

Hello Friends, You know yesterday? Yeah. Like that. The ocean is a wind torn mess thanks to 16-20 kts of ESE’ly. The MHL buoy was showing 3.5 m of 10 sec SSE energy as of 0500. So biggish at open stretches, but really not surfable. It looks as though the wind will stay bad for […]

Stormy morning

  Hello Friends, No reason to take the board to DY this morning. The pictures tell the story of the belting SE wind and 3.6 metre 9-sec SSE swell. The Bureau says we’ll have rain through Saturday and SE wind through to Friday morning. So, I’m not too hopeful of decent surf anywhere until maybe […]

Very small to near flat this morning

  Hello Friends, Sorry kids, no surfin’ today – unless you’re ridiculously keen. Wind is out of the south and will soon be 15-25 kts. The MHL buoy was showing a metre of 9-second bump from the south. Not that it matters, but tide is now coming in to a 1110 1.64 m. Skies were […]

South magnets only and don’t expect much

  Hello Friends, The weekend swell has faded away to almost nothing. Surface conditions are choppy looking as of 0730 and waves look to be in the ankle to knee high range at Dee Why beach (the point’s offline for now). The MHL 0500 data was showing 1.8 m from the SSE but with a […]
