Still big and wild on Friday morning
Hello Friends, 10-15 kts of WSW at North Head as of 0900 this morning. As you can see from the snaps, the ocean is still heaving and crazy looking at Dee Why. There were a few extremely keen types battling the sneaker sets for that elusive clean section, but it looked like a lot of […]
The Goat’s Surf Forecast
The Goat’s Surf Forecast Surf forecast issued Thursday 16 July 2020: Seven day outlook for Sydney: It’s big, and wild and woolly, and big and cold and wet and windy too. Did I say it was big and out of control? Currently around 4 metres from South East with a hefty 12 second period. And […]
Still crazy this morning
Hello Friends, Dee Why’s still off the possible surf list for most of us this morning. Swell peaked yesterday but it was still hitting 4.7 m at 13 seconds from the SSE as of 0600. Wind was kicking along at 17-21 kts from the WSW as of 0820. The low is moving slowly eastward toward […]
Out of control big
Hello Friends, Dangerous conditions along all the exposed stretches of Sydney’s coast this morning. Swell at sea is around the 5-6 metre mark this morning and wind was WSW at 20 kts with stronger gusts. Surface conditions were actually fairly clean looking, but there’s just way too much water moving around. Beachwatch is calling the […]
Dark and stormy Tuesday
Hello Friends, Swell’s popped up overnight as expected, but so too has the wind. The latter was 20-30kts from the south as of 0900 and out at sea the buoys were seeing 4m at 9 seconds from the SSE. From the look of the radar, the rain is mainly hitting up toward the Newcastle region. […]
Very tiny again but later could be interesting
Hello Friends, The lull before the storms this morning. Just about flat at Dee Why but the low is winding up out at sea, so by tomorrow things should look very different. Right now swell at sea is almost straight south at a metre with a 13-second period. Lots of big clear patches in the […]
Sunday tiny bumps
Hello Friends, After a mostly gloomy Saturday, Sunday starts off with mostly clear skies along the Sydney coast. There’s an 80% chance of showers by late this afternoon and then we’re in for plenty of rain right through to next weekend. As you can see from the pics, it wasn’t exactly booming at Dee Why […]
Hello Friends, At daybreak it was raining lightly but steadily along the beaches. Wind was out of the west at 4 kts and the offshore buoys were seeing a metre of 10-second swell from the SE-SSE. Tide was close to the 0645 low. It’ll be back to high at 1255. The forecast tells us to […]
Back to tiny conditions for Friday morning
Hello Friends, Did you miss it yesterday? Too bad. There are little tiny waves around this morning at Dee Why – think knee to maybe waist – but if you have to pass, I don’t think you’ll be foregoing too much excitement. It was still somewhat misty when I had my first look around 0830, […]
