Near flat for Saturday

Hello Friends, At daybreak it was a touch under 10C at RealSurf HQ and wind was out of the NW at 5-7 kts. The MHL buoy was detecting only 0.9 m of 9-sec SSE bump.Skies were mostly clear. I did my usual pre-radio report run this morning and can report that it was just about […]

Clear skies and tiny waves

Hello Friends, Chilly offshore under mostly clear skies as Friday kicked off. Down at the beach, conditions are distinctly smaller again this morning. There were waist high peelers at Kiddies, but it was just too small for the point to break (at least while I watched). At 0600 the MHL buoy was showing 1.3 metres […]

The Goat’s Surf Forecast – Update

Small today, but little rideable waves at places for mals. Surf forecast issued Thursday 28 June 2018: Seven … no, eight… no, nine day outlook for Sydney: In an effort to give you the most full-some-est outlook he can, TG has stretched his muscles. strained his eyesight and generally got himself all wound up looking […]

Gloomy start to Thursday but little waves

Hello Friends, Swell has dropped overnight and this morning at first light Dee Why was seeing very occasional sets into the chest range, but mostly it was smaller than that. The MHL data from 0500 showed 1.5 metres of 11-12 sec energy from the SSE (155°), but looking at it, I reckon it’s probably a […]

Wednesday waves

Hello Friends, Have to say that I didn’t expect it to look as promising as it did when I climbed aloft for the first observation of the day a little before 0800. The point and the beach were both seeing sets into the overhead range. It looked clean and consistent under the showery skies. To […]

Monday morning waves

Hello Friends, A hardy crew amongst them at the point and along the beach by 0730 this morning. Sunny skies and a chilly 8-9 kt WNW wind were creating an attractive setting for the 2 metre 9-10 sec SSE (165°) swell. It looked a bit inconsistent and the average wave face on sets was around […]

Out for a ride

Lots of folks in the water from Cooks to Mona Vale but no one at warriewood and single punter at little Narra. Size about knee to waist. 25 or so chasing slightly bigger ones at Northy.

Sunny, clean, small but still surfable

Hello Friends, As expected, the swell continued its slow fade overnight and this morning sees only about a metre of 9-10 sec period  SSE (152°) waves. At 0745 the wind was coming from the west at 9 to 12 kts and skies were mostly clear. There were a few people in the water along the […]

Fadey day

Hello Friends, Looks fun out there. Waves in the shoulder plus range on the biggest sets, but mostly chest to a little less. Lotsa folks in the water at Northy, hardly anyone among the shutdowns south of there, then around the corner at Longy there were heaps of people chasing shutty-downy but head high sets. […]

Looking good Dee Why

Hello Friends, Sunny skies at last and as foretold, we still have swell this morning. The point looks to be in the head plus range on sets and it’s a similar size up the beach. Surface conditions were clean and wind was lightly offshore. The MHL buoy was detecting 1.7 metres of 9.5 sec SSE […]
