Yay! Little waves for Saturday morning
Hello Friends, A pleasant surprise this morning for model-watchers who, like your correspondent, were expecting flatness this morning. Although tide was high at 0740, wind was light and we had a touch over a metre of 13 sec SE swell coming in. At the best spots on the biggest sets, that meant wave faces into […]
The odd little wave around on Monday morning
Hello Friends, Light NW-W wind at 0730 this morning with clear skies. The 0600 MHL Sydney buoy report showed 1.5 metres of 11-sec SE swell with an offshore water temp of 18. When I grabbed this morning’s pics, the biggest set I saw at the point was around waist plus and maybe chest plus up […]
Cold, grey, glassy and waves
Hello Friends, Swell’s arrived on schedule this morning. It’s pretty chilly and the grey skies have switched everything to monochrome, but surface conditions were glassy at 0730 and swell energy was coming in from the south to SSE. Average height at sea was 2.7 metres at 9 seconds apart. There was some longer period component […]
Fit your expectations to reality
Hello Friends, Winter solstice is shaping up to be a beautiful day. The swell has faded a fair amount overnight but there were still some waist high peaks here and there. I spotted one at Manly (see pic) and around at Curly there seemed to be another at the south end. Heading over the hill […]
Nice morning, small waves too
Hello Friends, Can’t fault the set decoration this morning Huey. Nice looking lines too. But why is it they’re all closing out or almost too fat to get into from Dee Why to Longy when high tide was a couple of hours ago? Lots of folks in the water having a go at catching something […]
Definitely a few waves around this morning
Hello Friends, At 0600 the MHL Sydney buoy was showing 1.4 metres of 13-sec SE swell – which is more than the models were predicting yesterday. In fact, the waves look to be pretty close in size to Wednesday morning’s offerings. It was clean and lightly offshore under sunny skies. Tide was high at 0550 […]
The situation around 1100 (pics)
Went for a paddle this morning and fetched up at Longy. It appeared that the bank situation was pretty dire where the beach break was concerned, and it looked like there might be the very occasional little catchable bump at the bombies. It turned out very occasional was right. Long, long waits for soft waist […]
Lumpy but glassy waves early
Hello Friends, Wind was playing nice for the early and the raw swell was offering a lumpy playground for Dee Why surfers this morning. It was still over two metres from the SE at 10 seconds out at the buoy and wave faces on the bigger sets were in that size range. As the pictures […]
Clean-ish early, but sorta fat
Hello Friends, Still some swell this morning. The MHL buoy registered 3 metres of ESE at nearly 11 seconds an hour or two ago. Wind was light and SW early, but there were on again off again showers and as of 0730 it was only 10C outside the RealSurf wheelhouse. Set wave faces at Dee […]
Swell on the rise?
Hello Friends, Right on schedule it’s here. A nice looking line showing along the beach at Dee Why and at the point. According to MHL data, the swell is coming from the SSW at nearly two metres with an average period of 11 seconds. Wave faces look to be chest plus along the beach and […]
