Not much, if anything
Hello Friends, Very little energy showing on the MHL spectra for Sydney at 0300 and Dee Why bore this out as of 0600. From the crows nest I really couldn’t see much of anything you could catch at Dee Why. There were a couple of folks out for a paddle, but really no sign of […]
Weak but something for the keen
Hello Friends, The showery weather looks to be clearing, but there could be a one or two left. While my veggie patch liked it, the rain has been sufficient to also trigger pollution warnings at most of the Northern beaches south of Newport, pretty much all of the eastern suburbs and the north and south […]
That’s not very nice Huey
Hello Friends, Good day for Sydneysiders to tack into Christmas preps because the beach is forgettable in a big way. Stiff southerly blowing the tops off a trashed and gutless south wind swell. And it’s set to go SE later. Honestly, the less said about today the better. So, thoughts turn to tomorrow, and here […]
Grey skies, SW wind, teeny-tiny wind swell
Hello Friends, Really not much of a morning for surf it has to be said. SW wind meant that it was comparatively clean lots of places, but the residual NE wind swell is awful weak and gutless and tiny. You really need an air mat or similar large floaty object (kids’ inflatable wading pool maybe?) […]
Yep, tiny again
Hello Friends, Another day of near flat conditions. Take the long board and a large reservoir of patience. Or, just go for a beach walk (grab some litter as you leave too!). Energy is at a low ebb with only the faintest of faint SE swell lines coming in. The MHL buoy is showing 0.9 […]
Back to minor
Hello Friends, You’re not missing much at Dee Why this morning. Only a trickle of short period NE wind swell showing now. The south pulse is all gone as nearly as I can make out. Best waves looked to be around the waist high mark – and those weren’t too frequent. Might be a better […]
Where’d summer go?
Hello Friends, Steady 20 kts of southerly and light rain greeted early risers today. Very unsummery. No one in the water at Dee Why at 0600 – which is hardly surprising given the details. Swell is around 2.5 metres from the south with an average period of about 8 seconds. Visibility was too poor to […]
Bumping along again
Hello Friends, Not much going on at the beach this morning, but if you had a mal or equivalent, there were catchable little things coming along every once in awhile at Dee Why. Swell is coming from the SSE at about 8 seconds apart. Average height at sea is 1.4 metres as of 0500, but […]
Midday and minor along the beaches
Hello Friends, Well, what can ya say? Sorry not to get around to a report earlier, but I was actually away from a computer this morning. But not because I was surfing, sadly. There were some very small waves around when I finally had a good look around midday. However, you’d really need to be […]
Waiting for Huey
Hello Friends, Another chilly start for Sydney this morning. According to the MHL data we have about a metre of SSW 6 second windswell. But as the pictures show, there was a small but well defined line making its way in at Dee Why. No one was in the water, save a lone kayaker, so […]
