Could be fun early

Hello Friends, As of 0640 wind was light from the WSW and the MHL buoy was showing 1.3 metres of 8-sec SSE bump. Magnets should be in the waist to chest range and wind should be okay until late morning, when it’ll get around to the NE. Tide is dropping to a low at 1130. […]

Keen only need apply

Hello friends, Swell energy in Sydney continued to fade overnight and at first light magnets looked to be maybe knee to waist – on the big ones. Wind was lightly offshore for the early and tide was running out to the low at 0900. You can expect a mostly sunny day with a high of […]

today

Surf’s still lumpy bumpy and horrible with tide too low at most places… and the wind is onshore.  Only for the desperates.

Lumpo Bumpo

Hello Friends, Looks like another scrappy you-could-surf-if-you-were-really-keen sort of day in Sydney. Magnet spots should deliver chest plusses, but the overall conditions are fairly marginal. For starters, the ESE wind was already 10-13 kts at 0730 under cloudy skies. As of 0400 the MHL’s directional spectrum chart for Sydney was showing a mix of NNE […]

Saturday Surf Report

​​T​he Bureau’s forecast is for TC Oma to move offshore a little and track north again for a couple of days. But Cyclones can change directions, as this one has, and are notoriously difficult to track​.​ In any event, the main swell we are getting in Sydney now, and the waves coming over the next […]

Choppy, bumpy, windy

Hello Friends, As I often say on ABC radio when it looks like this, it’s a real doona day. Wind is sideshore from the SSW at 10-15 kts as of first light. But it’ll pick up and swing SE as the morning goes along. And that won’t help the scrappy 2.3 metre, 8-second, SSE swell. […]

SW early, SE later

Hello Friends, As of 0720 the wind was lightish and from the SW, but it won’t last long. Pretty soon the wind will be coming from the SE, just like the showers wafting in from that direction. Not a nice morning and while it’s getting crazy up north from the Oma energy, Sydney is currently […]

TG’s Surf Forecast

Surf forecast issued Thursday 21 February 2019: Seven day outlook for Sydney: TC Oma is up north but is affecting the weather and surf outlook depending on where she decides to go and the interaction with a High and a Low down south. At the moment she’s tracking here She can always change her mind […]

Yeah, naw

Hello Friends, The numbers tell the story for Sydney this morning. At 0600 North Head was seeing 13-19 kts of SSE wind. At 0300 the MHL buoy was detecting 2.3 metres of 7-sec SSE wind swell. The weather radar at Terry Hills was picking up showers off to the NE. So, I’d say you can […]
