"Stay happy and you'll be perfectly fine" - Jack Norris

Energy increasing, quality not so much

Hello Friends, Rugged conditions, even in the corners. Occasional size but 10-15 kts of ENE wind is just making a mess of it. Plus the swell looked kinda soft and weak. Out at sea it was 2 metres from the east at 6-8 seconds, so no wonder it seemed gutless. Gutless, onshore junk to sum […]

Little waves around on Sunday morning

Hello Friends, A mild, partly cloudy and lightly onshore from the SE start to Sunday morning. There are a few waves at spots with south exposure. Tide was a swampy 1.89 m high at 0745, and swell was 1.8 metres at 7-8 seconds from the south, so we’re talking waist to maybe chest and a […]

You have to be so keen

Hello Friends, Not a great surf morning out there. Wind was ESE 14-17kts at daybreak and the Bureau tells us it’ll be SE 10-15 kts across the day. Out at sea the disorganised wind bump was coming from the south at 1.6 metres with a choppy 5-9 second period. The first tide of the daylight […]

Rough stuff

Hello Friends, Ocean’s a mess this morning thanks to 13-20 kts of SSE wind. Out at sea the swell was 2 metres at 8-9 seconds from the south with 3.3 metres of 6-second chop on top of it. You’ll obviously need to be super keen to contemplate jumping into that 22C water. First tide of […]

The Goat’s Surf Forecast

The Goat’s Surf Forecast Surf forecast issued Thursday 10 December 2020: Seven day outlook for Sydney: As TG sits contemplating his ever increasing navel, there are dark clouds scudding across the sky driven by a gusty gutsy South wind that has brought a hitherto lovely day to a crunch. And I think he fears it […]

Waves about

Hello Friends, Did the Manly run this morning and can report that Swell was going past that stretch but was shoulder with the odd plus at Curly. Around at Dee Why it was going by the point, but chest to shoulder plus from the club north. Couldn’t really see Longy properly, but I reckon it […]

Sunny, windy, mild and no surf

Hello Friends, Sunny skies and SW wind for Tuesday morning. Out at sea the SSE swell was around a metre at 9-10 seconds apart, but the wind is holding it off our beaches. And, from the look of the modelling, it’ll keep doing so throughout the day. So super clean, but almost perfectly flat. It […]

Bright sunny Sunday morning

Hello Friends, Warm 32C and sunny day on tap for Sunday. But finding anything in the way of a wave above knee high will be a real challenge. There’s still some 13-second dead south swell at sea, but it’s only a metre out there, and it wasn’t obvious when I checked the situation at Long […]
