A little more activity than yesterday
Hello Friends, At 0630 it was so cloudy that it bordered on foggy. Wind was coming from the south at 4-5 kts and there were half a dozen people chasing waist plus bumps in the beach break. The point was unoccupied and I couldn’t see anyone up toward No Mans. As of 0400 the MHL […]
The Goat’s Surf Forecast
Surf forecast issued Thursday 13 December 2018: Seven day outlook for Sydney: Sydney’s about to cop a heap of rain as I put hoof to keyboard and there’s thunder and lightning coming too.. Don’t run around like a headless chook..get your washing in! Don’t play tennis. Get inside and stay inside for about half an […]
Scrappy but up a tiny bit
Hello Friends, 10-15 kts of NNE wind blowing as of 0700. Grey skies overhead and an ocean not looking all that interesting. Dee Why seemed to have knee plus wave faces, but the quality was not good and there were only one or two super keen types in the water. The MHL data shows 1.4 […]
Zippo
Hello friends, A light ESE breeze giving the ocean a little texture under the gloomy grey skies on Wednesday morning at Dee Why. As you can see from the pictures, there aren’t any waves. Nor is it likely that you’ll find much of anything elsewhere. As of 0400 the MHL buoy was seeing just a […]
Breezy and tiny Tuesday
Hello Friends, A light southerly was giving the ocean a bit of texture this morning at Dee Why. Skies were mostly overcast when I grabbed the snaps at 0740 and swell energy looked to be even less impressive than yesterday’s paltry offerings. Tide was low at 0500 and is currently coming into a 1.7 m […]
Grey skies and southerly wind to start
Hello Friends, Wind was SSW 9-14 kts as of 0730. Skies were solidly overcast and at 0500 the MHL buoy was showing 1.5 metres of 7-second NE wind bump. As the pictures show, the weak swell settings combined with an incoming tide (the 1.74 m high arrives at 1055) mean no real waves are on […]
NE and high tide not the combo for Dee Why
Hello Friends, As of 0900 the wind was coming from the NNE at 7-10 kts under sunny skies as we head to a coastal high of 27. The 0600 MHL buoy data showed 1.75 metres of 8-sec NE wind swell. Tide was coming into a deep 1.8 m high at 1015. Despite the NE wind, […]
Looking small at Dee Why
Hello Friends, Not terribly impressive surfwise for Saturday morning. As of 0700 wind was out of the north at 9-13 kts and the MHL buoy’s latest update showed 2 metres of 7 sec NE wind bump. Tide was coming into a swampy 1.8 metre high at 0940. Today’s high is set to be 28 under […]
Wind bumps only
Hello Friends, Nice morning out there, but the waves are close to non-existant. The MHL buoy was seeing 1.2 metres of 5 second NE bump at 0400. As the picture indicates, there’s not much of anything at Dee Why. Tide is coming into a swampy 1.8 m at 0900 – which isn’t helping either. We’ve […]
