Dark and stormy morning at Dee Why
Hello Friends, One look at the pictures tells the story: it’s stormy and horrible looking at Dee Why. Out at sea it’s still 4-6 metres at 13 seconds from the SSE. Wind was 18-24 kts just before 0800. With showers. So, yeah, nah. It should stay SW during the day, but then go SE late […]
Very wild and woolly at Dee Why
Hello Friends, The pictures tell the story. You’d have to be pretty confident to battle your way out at Dee Why for some big, shifty, lumpy, windblown waves. Put Dee Why on hold for today.

Surf prospects will dim today according to the Bureau, but tomorrow could be pretty crazy on both the wave and weather scores. Beyond […]
