Still very small and weak at Dee Why this morning
Hello Friends, Although the 2.05 m high tide arrives at 1045, it already looked pretty fat when I grabbed the snaps at 0800. Skies were gloomy and the occasional rumble of thunder signaled an approaching band of showers. I couldn’t see anyone in the water at Dee Why nor up the beach to No Mans. […]
Beautiful summer morning but waves are another matter
Hello Friends, A big 2.07 m high tide peaking just before 1000 and less than a metre of SSE swell are combining to produce very tiny to flat conditions at Dee Why. Ocean is 21C according to Beachwatch, so at least it should be nice for a dip even if there is no reason to […]
Near flat and that’s that
Hello Friends, A 2.2 metre high tide at 0900 combined with less than a metre of short period south bump meant no real prospect of a surfable wave at Dee Why – or anywhere else in Sydney. Throw in grey skies and a good chance of the odd shower this morning and it looks like […]
Grey and still very small
Hello Friends, Not much going on at Dee Why on a cloudy Sunday morning. There were a few folks on rescue boards training up the beach from the club, but I didn’t see anyone else in the water. Wind was light SSW 5-7 kts early, but should go around to the SE and pick up […]
Faint hopes but not flat everywhere
Hello Friends, Light west breeze early with a very small east-ish looking wind bump. The MHL buoy was seeing 1.2 metres of 5 sec chop from 106° and tide was coming into a 1.82 metre high at 0722. There were little knee plus faces south of about Carparks at Northy and down toward south Narrabeen. […]
Not much doing on Friday morning
Hello Friends, A dull old morning at Dee Why for Friday. No real sign of surfable waves either. According to the MNL data from 0600, it was 1.6 metres from the ESE at 6 seconds apart. So not a surprise the beach looks so blah. Not that it matters all that much, but as I […]
The Goat’s Surf Forecast
Surf forecast issued Thursday 17 January 2019: Seven day outlook for Sydney: 360 degree view…not a cloud in the deep blue sky. The sea is sparkling. The sun is shining. Pretty as a picture. A great day for the beach today..except for.. well, you know… waves~~~ Now you might say the surf hasn’t been great, […]
Murky morning with small and weak waves
Hello Friends, Humid and warm start to the day at Dee Why. Waves are in the knee high range on the rare sets along the beach. The point wasn’t doing anything and there were only a couple of people in the water. As of 0730 the wind was 4-5 kts from the NNE at North […]
Little hopes on another sunny and hot day
Hello Friends, Again we have little lines coming into the Dee Why end of the beach. As of 0720 when I took the pictures, there was just the faintest NE zephyr whispering over the lumpy surface. It’ll come up to 15-25 kts later as we head to a high of 31C along the beaches. Tide […]
Sunny and breezy from early
Hello Friends, Little NE looking bumps drifting weakly into Dee Why this morning. The MHL buoy was showing 1.6 m from 130° at 6-seconds apart. As experienced surfers will know, that means really gutless and tiny. I didn’t see anybody trying to catch a wave from the point up to No Mans. Tide was dropping […]
