Better visibility this morning

Hello Friends, Six to 8 kts of SSW wind early at Dee Why under grey skies this morning. Happily the dense bush smoke of yesterday has disappeared. Only a tiny hint of wave energy evident at the beach as we come into the 1.78m high tide a little before 0800. I’d call it ankle to […]

Dropping away to very marginal

Hello Friends, Visibility from RealSurf HQ was less than 500 metres at 0730 due to a mix of fog and bushfire smoke pollution, so not possible to get a picture. Checking the cams, it looks like waves are in the ankle to knee high range along the beaches. The MHL buoy shows 1.6 metres at […]

Waves to be had this morning

Hello Friends, Although smaller than yesterday, it was much cleaner at Dee Why when I grabbed the pics at around 0700. Lots of folk in the water chasing fairly consistent waist to chest plusses both at the point and along the beach to at least No Mans. Beachy looked to be shutting down a fair […]

Check this out surfers!

Taken in Ain region, France, on the first day of 2020. Video sent to us by Brice Volo. Posted with permission. pic.twitter.com/O4IG8krQoR […]

More activity but junky this morning

Hello Friends, Nice cool and grey morning with 8-10 kts of ESE onshore roughing up a couple of metres of 8 second S-SSE wind swell. Set wave faces at Dee Why as of 0830 looked to be into the chest plus range at the point and waist to chest along the beach. There was a […]

Blowy southerly day

Hello Friends, 10-15 kts of south wind under grey and smoky skies this morning in Dee Why. As the pictures show, the ocean’s bumpy and choppy inshore and waves are around the waist high range. The wind will keep coming from southerly quarters over the next couple of days, but it’ll go more SE from […]

Smooth little lines for Saturday morning fun

Hello Friends, If you’re keen, there were little knee to maybe waist high glassy bumps at the best exposure. Wind will kick in as the day heats up to a high of 35C along the coast. Ocean temp has dropped back to 19C. Tide is dropping to the low at 0950. There’s a Poor air […]

Grey and tiny

Hello Friends, A very light sprinkle overnight at RealSurf HQ. Skies are grey again and there was a faint SE breeze when I grabbed this morning’s picture. As you can see, conditions didn’t improve overnight on the surf front. There were a few people in the water right in the corner, but it looked to […]

The Goat’s Surf Forecast

The Goat’s Surf Forecast The surf outlook With more variable winds ahead, the outlook is again for more variable surf.  If you head to the beach not expecting to find great conditions, then you won’t be disappointed! I wouldn’t expect anything approaching good quality, but there should be something from time to time if you feel the need […]
