Lumpo-bumpo SE junko
Hello Friends, Just about done with 2013 and it looks as though we might be able to wave g’bye from the water – if we’re open minded enough. Dee Why was showing lumpy and messy wind swelly SE stuff at 0630. Sets were pushing into the chest high range on the biggest ones, but of […]
Come up a bit
Swell is showing at Dee Why as of 1630 on Sunday. Sets look to be in the shoulder plus range. Wind is hammering it, but I’d say there’s hope of a little something for the early tomorrow… Shot this with my ancient Century 650mm and a Sony a7r… lot of heat haze affecting the detail
Warm and little waves early
Hello Friends, Last Friday of 2013 and it seems there are a few small waves to be had. Before 0900 it was nearly 30 at RealSurf HQ – even though the high is only supposed to be 26. I’d be getting on it ASAP because the Bureau says the swell’s gonna drop by midday and […]
Little peaks to be had
Hello Friends, Although not much was showing on the 0300 spectral data from MHL, the 1.4 metres of SE swell actually has a pretty reasonable 11 second period. A little before 0700 the combo was producing waist to chest set wave faces at Dee Why. The expected onshores had not yet arrived either. It looked […]
Raw and bumpy Sunday start
Hello Friends, Gee, the numbers looked great this morning. SE swell at a touch over the 2.5 metre mark on average with a period of close to 14 seconds, plus a low tide, not much wind and sunny skies. It shoulda been so good… but it really wasn’t all that impressive. Yes, there are definitely […]
Small but not flat Sunday
Hello Friends, Pleasant looking morning down at Dee Why when I first checked at 0815. Swell is out of the SE at about 10 seconds apart with an average height at sea of around 1.5 metres. This was translating into waist to chest on the rideable ones at Dee Why. I reckon it might be […]
Piccies from Dee Why point this morning
Went for a swim at the point this morning to test out Nikon’s new AW1 waterproof camera. Weather conditions were kinda dull unfortunately. But worse, despite the numbers looking the goods, the waves were really pretty ordinary. A few solid overhead sets at the point, but for the most part they were kinda flabby and […]
A sesh to be had early
Hello Friends, Grey skies start the day, but so do the waves. Not big or anything, but since the energy is mainly from the east at about 9 seconds apart, there should be waist to chest high sets – with the odd plus – this morning. Tide is high at a touch before 1300 and […]
Splashed at Northy
After taking care of a few chores, I wandered down to North Narrabeen to see how the tide and our little weak NE wind swell were interacting. It was one of those deals where you watch for quite awhile before pulling the trigger – one way or another. It was smooth and there were only […]
Catchables to be had
Hello Friends, Get in early at your fave south spot or miss out seems to be the message from the forecasts today. An incoming tide, light wind, and a couple metres of 9 second period south swell were combining to produce waist to chest plus waves along the beach at Dee Why. There doesn’t seem […]
