Sunday morning some waves to be had

Hello Friends, Light offshore breeze and smoky and hazy conditions as Sunday rolled into view. Swell has dropped noticeably overnight and as of 0600 the MHL buoy was showing 1.6 m of 12 sec energy from the SE (141°). So, more surf options than yesterday in terms of swell direction, but down by a metre […]

Shooting at the Point

30 people, glassy, dropping tide and solid sets like this one… Gallery up later…

Swell focussing some places and missing others

Wind affected but swell hitting Dee Why still

Only have time to put up a few pics… conditions look scrappy, less consistent but with solid sets still in the mix. I’d call it waist to chest with the odd overhead wave face at the point and similar up the beach.     Weather Situation A strong high pressure system over the Bight extends […]

Thursday wrap and pics

Wednesday and the swell is here

Hello Friends Light westerly wind early and the much anticipated swell has turned up. It popped up overnight and as of 0600 the MHL buoy was showing 2 metres of 9 sec SE swell. So, not as big, nor as long period as the models were projecting. It’s pretty much bigger and longer period at […]

Late morning report

Hello Friends, Dropped my mate off at the airport this morning, so running a little behind the usual schedule. The good thing is that it meant I could stop by Curly to see what was happening before checking Dee Why. As of 0830 what was happening was occasional chest plus lines with not too many […]
