No surf for Sydney this morning

Hello Friends, The Bureau tells us we’re in for a major rain event between now and Saturday. That won’t improve water quality, but then again, it doesn’t look as though surfers will be tempted to get in again until around Sunday morning. If the models have it right, Sunday could be sunny and offshore with […]

Zippo

Hello Friends, Another beautiful morning along the beaches with partly cloudy skies, an autumnal westerly – and no waves. The wind should swing to the SE later and the swell should then start to fill in gradually across Thursday as it builds into the surfable range again.  Unfortunately it looks as though we’ll have rainy, […]

Junky and micro

Hello Friends, Very small and messy surf under clouding over skies this morning. Wind was out of the north at 10-15 kts and swell was 1.25 metres at just 6 seconds from the north east. Surf prospects don’t look like improving until (maybe) the weekend. Have a good one and catch you again tomorrow! Weather […]

Easter Monday puny surf but sunny skies

Hello Friends, A healthy “why not?” crew sitting at Dee Why point by 0830 Monday morning. It’s another beautiful sunny day coming up and the barely-there NNW breeze is just tickling the ocean surface. Swell at sea was a 1.2 metres at 11 seconds and coming from the SE out at the MHL buoy as […]

Little wave Sunday

Hello Friends, If you found a wave yesterday, I’d go back there for another look as the swell conditions are almost identical again this morning, ie 1.2 metres at 11 seconds from the SSE.  That’s delivering more knee to maybe waist high wave faces at the better exposures. Wind shouldn’t be a factor either with […]

Lotsa little waves

Hello Friends, Good news for early risers – it’s not flat. Swell’s similar to yesterday, ie about a metre from the SE, but the period has bumped up into the 11-second range and that means open stretches should be seeing waist to occasionally chest high sets. As the pictures show, the point was picking up […]

Yeah, naw Friday

Hello Friends, Not a bad looking morning for Good Friday, but there does appear to be a complete lack of surf at Dee Why. Swell at sea was running at a metre from the SE with a peak period in the 10-second range, so better angled exposures should be seeing at least a tiny little […]

Not happening, sorry

Hello Friends, The picture tells the story. A showery morning with SE wind and no discernible swell, means no waves for us. The Goat should be along later today, so check back for the inside scoop on when we’re likely to see waves again. Have a top old Thursday anyway! Weather Situation A high pressure […]

Long lines but getting choppy and messy

Hello Friends, At 0700 wind was coming from the SSE at 14-19 kts and the skies were partly cloudy. Swell was 1.5 metres at a healthy 12 seconds from the south, but it looked smaller than yesterday and the surface conditions were messy too. A day for the super keen but the rest of us […]

Lines but options limited

Hello Friends, Another beautiful morning with a light SW breeze, sunny skies and 1.3 metres of 14-second south swell to go with it. This means long lines (mostly) shutting down the most exposed stretches. Yes, there are the occasional makeable ones, but they are very few and far between. It’s one of those mornings where […]
