Chundery mess
Hello Friends, Rain now clearing away to the SE, so ocean won’t look quite as bad as the pic above taken at first light this morning. There’s size, but it’s lumpy and messy, plus the water is befouled by all the rain we’ve just had. Skip it! The good news is that it looks like […]
Rain, rain and more rain
Hello Friends, UPDATE: It’s obviously not a day for beach activities. It was raining steadily as Friday got started and the Bureau says it’s going to get heavier as the day goes along. The wind was SSE 14-21 kts as of 0800 and the Botany Bay offshore buoy was seeing 3.2 metres of 5-sec period […]
The Goat’s Surf Forecast
Surf forecast issued 4 March 2024: Seven day outlook for Sydney If you can’t say anything nice about someone. or something?.. then don’t say anything at all. TG thought of just leaving a blank space on the page, but I convinced him that wasn’t good enough. So he said.. Let me try to paint […]
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 […]
