Saturday fun day

Hello Friends, Beautiful Saturday morning in Sydney and as an extra bonus, we have a few small SSE waves too. Nothing big, but the period was a reasonable 11 seconds or so and that means the occasional chest high set turning up at spots such as Dee Why that like the swell direction. The models […]

PICS: Longy, Mon arvo 9 Aug 2010

Monday afternoon and the small SE swell was creating waist to chest high plus peaks at Long Reef (just north of No Mans) for a moderate size crew. As always my goal was to shoot anyone who caught a wave – at the moment(s) they looked their best. If you were out, have a check […]

Smaller but looks fun

Hello Friends, Could be worth the effort to get yourself to a south swell spot this morning in Sydney as we still have some SSE energy around the place. There are light winds from the SW on tap this morning and the forecast is for it to drop off toward low tide at lunch time. […]

Down Cronulla way

Hello evening visitors! Finally have added a new surf spot to the life list – Elouera. PB and I made a jaunt down to the lovely shire to see what was doing. He’s been down there a bit lately so was able to give me the tour. We checked Elouera and the Wall first. Little […]

Late arvo thoughts

After holding off until around 1300, the southerly started to fill in along Sydney’s beaches. As the day ends, the swell is still around the two metre mark at sea with an average period of 9 seconds. It’s SE and we’re getting some okay size sets every now and then thanks to some rogue 11 […]

How cold was it this morning?

Hello Friends, 7 degrees at 0800 said the radio. Add in a steady westerly and it feels even colder. The bitter conditions haven’t put people off getting in the water at Dee Why point. Those tough customers are scoring the odd fun if not too powerful looking set waves for their trouble. Swell at sea […]

Extra second of period…

Hello Friends, Well, how ’bout them apples? The hoped for extra second of swell energy has made it to Sydney along with a slight tweak to the SE in the primary direction, all of which adds up to a re-calibration from marginal to average. Bet the school kids will be stoked…    

More waves but getting a little smaller

Hello Friends, Running a bit late this morning, apologies. S-SSW winds are staying clear of Dee Why this morning and the gradually fading south to SSE swell is hanging in there at around the two metre mark with an average period of about 8 seconds. There seems to be some longer period stuff in the […]

Small but nicely formed

Hello Friends, Monday morning and Huey’s rolled out another batch of fresh baked waist to chest high south south east swell. Early risers, and there were a few thanks to school hols, were greeted by cloudy skies, cold air but light WNW breezes. Clean, small, not particularly powerful (periods range from 8-10 sec) waves, but […]

Cold, cold, but still some swell

Good news for those who can get out for a wave today. The small swell we had around yesterday is still here this morning. From the look of things it should stick around all day as it declines gradually toward near flatness toward the middle of the week. It was averaging a couple metres from […]
