Not too surfable looking this morning

Hello Friends, Heavy cloud around when I grabbed the pics this morning, but as I write this it already seems to be lifting. However, whether monochromatic or colourful, the lack of surf situation is what it is. There seemed to be a couple of people in the water just north of Kiddies, but as you […]

Really tiny

Hello Friends, There were chest high plus sets yesterday morning at Dee Why, but they’re gone today. At best it’s maybe knee high at the south end and possibly waist up the beach. Surface had a little texture thanks to a light ENE breeze. Interestingly the swell data coming from the MHL buoy at 0500 […]

Whadya know still some waves this morning

Hello Friends, I’d expected it to be really tiny this morning to be honest, but happily there are still some waist plus sets (maybe even shoulder plus on the bombs) on offer. At 0715 there were a fair number of people in the water at the point as well as a scattering of plucky types […]

Postcard from Guethary

Today we leave Guethary after a wonderful swell filled 3 week stay.  It is raining and onshore today (which makes leaving this lovely part of the world a little easier).     This photo was taken from Guethary train station a few days ago.  It shows the left hander Les Alcyons breaking nicely with only a […]

Clean and small Monday morning

Hello Friends, Nice looking start for Monday morning at Dee Why. Nothing too big at the beach or point, but the knee to waist plus faces on offer are definitely surfable. Weather was partly cloudy early with about 5 kts of westerly breeze. Out at sea a couple of hours before I took the pictures, […]

Yay there are little waves for Sunday morning

Hello Friends, Well, how ’bout that? Yesterday the swell started out just barely surfable in the morning and then faded out to near flat at most places in the afternoon. But overnight, it’s come back up again and this morning sees 2 metres at 8 seconds from the SSE (158°) as of 0600 at the […]

Postcard from Mundaka

Swell was up again so we drove down south into Spain to the legendary river mouth town of Mundaka.  The famous left hander was ‘cooking’ when we arrived  at low tide (which is prime time). Nice and simple paddle out from the harbour at Mundaka.   Catching a set wave not so easy however with 80 […]

Little waves for Saturday morning

Hello Friends, Swell faded pretty dramatically overnight, but there are still little knee to waist high bumps at magnet spots. Surface conditions were perfect as the day got started with only a faint NW breeze wafting across the shore and out to sea. We’re currently coming off the low tide at 0600 and heading to […]

Energy and sunny skies for Friday morning

Hello Friends, Late yesterday afternoon I spent half an hour shooting waves at Northy until the sun got too low. Sets were into the head high range and the crowd of 20 plus were having to deal with fierce offshore wind. But if you could get through the fire hose in the face take offs, […]
