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 […]

The Goat’s Surf Forecast

Surf forecast issued Thursday 28 March 2024:  Seven day outlook for Sydney The Surf Outlook for the Easter hols and week ahead is… well, look, just keep repeating… Small can be fun, Small can be fun Friday: around 1 metre or so, give or take, more or less, at places open to small swell from […]

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 […]

Tiny at Dee Why on Monday morning

Hello Friends, Dee Why point was off the surf menu this morning and from RealSurf HQ it looked like you’d need to head up the beach toward Longy to even have a chance of a catchable one. Swell at sea was 1.4 metres at 8 seconds from the SSE, so that should mean waist-ish high […]

High tide and tiny to start Sunday

Hello Friends, A glassy, sunny morning along the beaches, but there’s only a tiny south line trickling in. It’s around the knee high mark with the odd waist-ish set turning up every now and then. Tide was just on the 16 m high when I grabbed the pictures and swell at sea was 1.25 metres […]

Clean and tiny early

Hello Friends, Our swell energy has dropped down a notch overnight and this morning saw a small SE line showing at the better exposures. It looked to be mostly in the knee to waist high range, but with the odd slightly bigger one. Out at sea, the MHL buoy was seeing 1.3 metres of 8-second […]

Glassy, but barely-there waves

Hello Friends, A few optimists in the water at the point around 0830 this morning, but in the time I watched, nothing came through for them. You’ll want to be walking up the beach toward Longy where there’s a wee bit more swell showing. At 0600 the MHL buoy was detecting 1.7 metres of 9-second […]
