"Stay happy and you'll be perfectly fine" - Jack Norris

Perfect conditions but pretty small

Hello Friends, A gorgeous morning as Sunday gets going. Wind was coming from the west at 10-15 kts as of 0830. Waves looked to be in the knee to maybe waist high range at Dee Why. Swell is dead south at 2 metres but only 8 seconds apart, so better exposed spots might be a […]

Rain at first light but a little wave activity

Update: rain backed off enough to take some piccies… Hello Friends, Too rainy to get a picture early, but it seems that there is some small wave potenital thanks to the swell coming up into the 2.5 m range from the east. Period was only 8 seconds though, which means wave faces at the better […]

Tiny at Northy

Out for a ride and stopped by N. Narrabeen for a look. About 20 people in the water chasing knee to waist high and kinda soft little waves.

Barely there bumps for the keen

Hello Friends, Beautiful start to Friday with scattered cloud, light breezes and just a hint of cool in the air as I climbed aloft to get a look at things. Down at Dee Why there were a few folk in the water just north of the club where it appeared they were chasing knee high […]

The Goat’s Surf Forecast

Surf forecast issued Thursday 29 March 2019: Seven day outlook for Sydney: Fabulous weather… blue skies, sunshine, warm air, warm water, and some waves every now and again depending on tides and banks, and setty waves too. More challenging for those of us who can’t get to their feet as quickly as we used to, […]

Interesting little perk in energy

Hello Friends, Swell seems to have come up a little overnight and is now into the rideable range with both the point and the beach seeing waist high sets. The MHL buoy shows that the swell hasn’t increased in size particualrly (it’s around 1.4 metres from the dead south) but the period ranges from 9 […]

Weak, small and a little junky

Hello Friends, Swell’s come up overnight, but the energy seems to all be out at sea where the MHL buoy was seeing 2 metres of 10-sec south swell (164°) even as the waves along the beach looked to be knee to maybe waist high. There were a few people in the water, but I didn’t […]

On hold, as you were

Hello Friends, If there were waves, this morning would be magic. But as you can see from the picture, there’s no swell at Dee Why. According to the MHL data, it was 0.9 m at 11 seconds from 176° (ie dead south). Wind was out of the west 9-14 kts at report writing time, but […]

Dropped from small to tiny

Hello Friends, Short and not so sweet: it’s flat and rainy this morning. Outlook varies a little between the ECM and Wavewatch driven models, with the latter being a little more optimistic about the prospects late in the week when they see a long period south pulse on Thursday into Friday. As always, we’ll see […]
