Too tiny to be serious
Hello Friends, A hazy, foggy morning along the beaches that reminds me of an early summer morning in southern California. And the utter lack of swell is also reminiscent of that coastline in that season. As the picture shows, DY SLSC was conducting activities in the benign conditions, but I couldn’t see anyone out for […]
Weak and tiny early
Hello Friends, Had my fingers crossed for a bit more activity than we’re seeing along the beaches this morning. At least there are still some waves around for the keen. The wind wasn’t a factor for the early but the combination of a swampy 1.9 metre high at 0910 and swell at sea of 1.5 […]
Sunny skies return
Hello Friends, Beautiful end of summer morning out there. Dee Why was seeing clean looking knee to waist high waves, but there wasn’t anything happening at the point. Wind was out of the SW at 6-8 kts and tide was coming into the deep 1.8 m high at 0830. Weather should be partly cloudy as […]
The Goat’s Surf Forecast
The Goat’s Surf Forecast Surf Forecast issued Thursday 25 February 2021: Seven day outlook for Sydney: TGF… Thank Goodness it’s Friday.. At least it will be if you’re reading this tomorrow. If not, it just means The Goat’s Forecast. Dull, grey, uninspiring, unexciting.. and that’s just some of the things I said to TG, telling […]
Waves for Thursday morning
Hello Friends, A light N wind texturing up the corners by 0730, and a deepish 1.74m high tide at 0745 was adding a significant fullness factor. Swell at sea was 2.3 metres mainly from the ESE at 8.5 seconds. At Dee Why the combo was delivering chest to shoulder plus sets along the beach and […]
Grey skies and glassy little bumps
Hello Friends, Light wind and on again off again rainy skies overhead as Wednesday started. Wind was coming lightly from the SW and swell at sea was 1.8 metres from 160° at 9 seconds, but the high tide at 0700 was enforcing fat and full conditions along the beaches. Yesterday’s head high sets at the […]
Rough, rugged and ragged
Hello Friends, Checked out the point and grabbed the attached pics. There are still some overhead sets in the mix and although the wind is south, you can see it’s not too badly messed up yet. The chop is definitely moving in though. Early birds got the best of it. There might be better protection […]
Thumping east swell
Hello Friends, Update 0900 EARLIER: Experienced riders only today. Swell is 2.2 metres at 11 seconds from the east. Wave faces head high to 2x overhead on bombs at best exposures. Grabbing the board and the camera, so will see what I see. Tide dropping to the low at 1210. Forecast for Monday until midnight […]
Lumpy and smooth on Sunday morning
Hello Friends, Swell is down slightly from yesterday, but still coming from the east at 1.6 metres with a period of 9-10 seconds. Wind before 0900 was out of the SSW at about 4-5 kts. As the pictures show, there were a fair number of people in the water at the point and along the […]
Tricky conditions
Hello Friends, Swell has faded a little overnight to around 1.7 metres from 96° (east) at about 9 seconds apart. Wind early was out of the SW at 4 kts under solidly overcast skies. Tide is currently dropping to the 0.7 m low at 0940. There was a band of rain showers out to sea, […]
