Dee Why pumping

Point very crowded and somewhat setty but bombs are head high. Too straight for the beach but a heap of people at the lagoon so zombies could also be a thing.

Curly bigger

A few stalwarts having a go at the south end, lots more at the bigger north end. Very straight with bombs solidly overhead. Wind offshore. Looks intense.

Snaps from Queensy

Swell showing at Queenscliff end of Manly stretch. Offshore, crowded and mostly straight-handers but definitely some sweet shoulder high sections on the occasional bomb sets.

The Goat’s Surf Forecast

The Goat’s Surf Forecast issued Thursday 30 May 2019: Seven day outlook for Sydney: Winter has arrived ahead of the calendar.  If you thought it was cold this morning, it was. The temp at 7am this morning was around 8 or 9, but the apparent temp from the windchill meant it really felt like 1.7. […]

Miniature lines

Hello Friends, Steady W-WNW wind as the morning got started was making for clean (and cold) conditions at the beach. Swell should start filling in as the day goes along, but as of 0730, there were only unsurfably tiny little lines showing at the Dee Why end of the beach.  The swell was making for […]

Another no surf morning

Hello Friends, Looks flat as a tack this morning. Plus there was 10-12 kts of NW wind from early. The wind will pick up as the day goes along, which insures continued flatness thanks to the swell being a mere 0.6 metre SSE at 10 seconds. Okay, that’s the bad news. The good news is […]

Surf on tap this morning

Hello Friends, Another chilly start to the day, but as anticipated, the waves have arrived. The 2.5 metre 10-sec SSE (156°) swell is producing shoulder to head plus faces on the sets at the north end of the Dee Why to Longy stretch. It’s more in the waist to chest plus range at the south […]

Cool breeze, sunny skies and no waves for Monday morning

Hello Friends, No real surprises this morning. The dire flatness of the last few days continues and that means fresh opportunities to pursue activities other than surfing. While there isn’t anything this morning, the models and the Bureau are saying we should see a very brief south pulse tomorrow morning. It looks as though it’ll […]

Dee Why imitates a billiard table

Hello Friends, Whatcha got on today? Not surfing if you live in Sydney, that’s for sure. Hard to see how it could get any tinier than it was this morning at Dee Why.  Although the MHL buoy was detecting 0.8 m of 15-second swell from 156° as of 0500, there wasn’t so much as a […]
