Micro and sunny morning at Dee Why
Hello Friends, A beautiful morning to start Thursday. Wind was lightly offshore and skies were cloudless, but alas, as the pictures show, Huey doesn’t have anything for us to play with at Dee Why. Swell out at sea is 1.2 metres at 10 seconds, but it’s straight south and therefore missing the joint. Water is […]
Clear skies and beautiful again
Hello Friends, An extraordinary transformation overnight from thick, scary smoky skies at sundown yesterday to a sparkling morning along the beaches today. There are even a few little waves and 9-10 kts of WSW wind was making Dee Why look pretty clean. Out at sea the 2.2 metre swell is coming from 164° at 9 […]
Take care everyone

Fire
Tuesday’s forecast is horrific. As I write this on Monday evening the blue skies of this morning are gone, replaced by a smoky beige. And the wind is gusting into the 30 kt range. Here’s the latest from the Bureau: Fire Weather Warning for the Far North Coast, North Coast, Greater Hunter, Greater Sydney Region, […]
Fat, full but waves to be had
Hello Friends, Definitely some swell around this morning, but high tide was 1.6m, so conditions at Dee Why and Curly were both strongly affected. Wind swung around to the NE by 0900 too, so the offshore conditions in the two Dee Why snaps have now been replaced with beat-up looking onshore slop. Should still be […]
Hey, where’d the waves go?
Hello Friends, 1.4 metres at 9 seconds from 175° means no waves at Dee Why as of 0830 this morning. However, the Bureau says that the southerly swell should come up into the 2-3 metre range from the south. FWIW, there’s no sign of it on the buoys off to the south of us, so […]
South swell lighting up the magnet spots
Hello Friends, South swell popped up overnight and the best exposures are seeing wave faces into the head plus range on the bigger sets. It’s pretty straight though. According to the latest data from the MHL buoy, the energy is coming from 160-162° with heights at sea averaging 2.4 metres and typical periods of 10 […]
Beautiful but flat at Dee Why on Friday morning
Hello Friends, Another gorgeous morning in Sydney without a hint of a wave. The MHL buoy was seeing 0.9 metres of 10-second stuff from the south, but it was going right by Dee Why. Not that it matters, but tide was high at 0630 and will back to low at 1230. Water is sitting on […]
The Goat’s Surf Forecast
Revised forecast issued Friday 8 November How inconvenient Mother Nature can be… I guess it’s her prerogative to change her mind…but it is inconvenient…. sigh… She still hasn’t decided for sure, and conditions will probably vary throughout each day, but let’s change the Weekend Outlook to>>> Saturday: starting to come up through the day at […]
Surf holding pattern
Hello Friends, A steady NNW wind and smoky again. Out west, there are fires burning and the next few days are going to be particularly dangerous. We’re headed for a sunny one on the coast, with temps getting to 31 along the beaches. The MHL buoy off Sydney hasn’t updated since last night, but looking […]
