Postcard from California
A half hour walk along the railway line and we get to Seals where the swell is delivering head plus sets…
Lyre Bird : in the Blue Mountains on Thursday
A few sets left in the tank this morning
Hello Friends, Sets at the point and along the beach were still in the shoulder plus range at around 0700 this morning. Once again, the point was busy but the beach had few takers – evidence that the lack of decent banks continues. Wind was out of the west at 10-12 kts which made the […]
Tuesday morning cold and clean waves
Hello Friends, Another cold and sunny morning with nice swell along the beaches. There were around 30 people in the water at the point by the time I checked it for the first time around 0730. Even with a consistent swell as this one looks to be, 30 folks is probably too many. Much of […]
A few pictures from this morning

Cold and windy with swell
Hello Friends, It looked to be in the chest to shoulder plus range at Dee Why when I first checked it around 0800. Sets looked to be reasonably frequent too. The beach still seems to be mostly offering shutdowns. Wind was out of the west at 14-18 kts and air temp was about 14C, so […]

Tiny lines and too small to surf early
Hello Friends, It’s snowing heavily down south and the air feels like it up here in Sydney. At 0700 the wind was 20-30 kts from the NW and swell was 1.4 metres from the SW, hence the lack of anything noteworthy along the beaches. As the Goat predicted, the roaring wind is holding any swell […]
Skip it
Hello Friends, Looking flat as a tack this morning. The MHL data is showing nothing over a metre from its buoys dotted up and down the coast of NSW. As the picture shows, there was no hint of activity at Dee Why. And the outlook? Well, it’s Friday morning, so there’s a nice fresh forecast […]
