Cool, grey, drizzly and tiny – but not flat
Hello Friends, Winter solstice saw a cloudy and chilly start to the year’s shortest day in Sydney. Wind was out of the WNW at 6-12 kts and out at sea the ESE swell at 1.4m was a bit bigger than yesterday and the average period has stretched out to 12 seconds. I’d expect to see […]
Hello Friends, At daybreak the buoy data showed 0.9 metres of 9-second swell from the ESE. There was a faint 2-3 kt north breeze and skies were mostly clear. Tide was just about at the 0730 high and the ocean was 19C. Waves were in the ankle to knee high range at spots that were […]
Small to tiny at Dee Why this morning
Hello Friends, Another morning with ankle to knee and a bit waves for the keen at Dee Why. Wind was light west early under partly cloudy skies. Out at sea the buoys were seeing a metre of 9-11 second bump from the SSE. First tide of the day was a high at 0650 and we’re […]
The Goat’s Surf Forecast
The Goat’s Surf Forecast Surf forecast issued Thursday 18 June 2020: Seven day outlook for Sydney: Been warm, cold, cool, warm, cool… TG doesn’t know where he is. The ocean has started to come alive with more whales headed up the coast. They’re mostly out wide and are traveling in groups, but if you see […]
Grey skies and choppy seas
Hello Friends, Thursday started out with the sun peeping over horizon under a high overcast sky. Wind was coming lightly from the SE and as the pictures show, that meant a textured surface for the small crew of keen types hunting about for a knee high bump at Dee Why. Tide was high at 0600 […]
Wednesday morning still tiny
Hello Friends, Not much happening on the surf front at Dee Why this morning. There were a few people on SUPs poking around in the ankle to knee high bumps, but catching anything looked to be a challenge. The wave buoy tells us the swell has ticked up a few cm’s since this time yesterday […]
On hold surfers
Hello Friends, Another beautiful and cold morning along the beaches without any real sign of waves. Out at sea the swell is around a metre at 8 seconds from the east. It looks like we could see a little bump in energy levels tomorrow afternoon, but the wind and rainy periods will likely work against […]
Calm and sunny start to Monday
Hello Friends, A beautiful morning but no sign of waves at Dee Why. Out at sea there’s about a metre of 8 second east wind bump, but along the beach it’s ankle to knee high. I’m not seeing much of interest in the way of surf prospects for the remainder of the week. There might […]
Grey and tiny early for Sunday
Hello Friends, Looked like a good morning to sleep in. The fun size waves of yesterday have faded out to just about nothing. There were some keen types in the water at the point and Kiddies, but you’re talking about ankle to knee high at best. The buoy data showed less than a metre at […]
Surf options aplenty
Hello Friends, Looks like a great morning for a surf if you have the time. Waves are a fun waist to chest high and there are lots of places you could get into your share. Surface conditions were smooth and skies were mostly clear with only a light westerly breeze. First tide of the day […]
