Swell for Sunday and everyone’s in

DY surfing

Hello Friends, Swell’s out of the east again this morning and the sets are still solidly head high. Average periods are around 11 seconds but there’s 14-sec energy in the mix as well. From the look of the buoy data, the swell peaked overnight. Tide’s high this morning at 0920. Wind was light SW to […]

Little waves for a holiday Monday morning

dy surfing

Hello Friends, Warm from early this morning under pale blue skies. Wind was coming lightly from the WNW just before 0800. Swell at sea was coming from the SSE at an impressive 16 seconds with an average height at sea of 1.5 metres. At the Dee Why end of the beach this was translating into […]

Showery Saturday start

dy no mans

Hello Friends, Although the forecast is for SE 10-15 kts turning east later, we had light offshores as the day got started. At 0500 swell was out of the SSE at around the 1.6 metre mark with a typical period of 13 seconds. Skies were mostly cloudy and there were occasional showers. I did my […]

Waves, mostly small, but surfable for Saturday am

Hello Friends, This morning saw a low tide at 0710. The MHL buoy was picking up a 9-sec, 2 metre SSE swell plus a little NNE energy. Wind was lightly offshore. Swell should be getting into a fair number of places for now, but the outlook is for it to fade into the marginal range […]

Saturday with waves

long reef waves

Hello Friends, As of 0600 swell was SE at 10.5 seconds apart with an average height at sea of 3.1 metres. My Saturday morning pre-702 ABC surf report run-around revealed that there were few opportunities on the Collaroy-Narrabeen stretch as we approached the high tide at 0735. The odd bodyboard cruncher at south Narrabeen maybe… […]

Friday morning pics from Manly, Freshy, Curly, DY

A small collection of surfin’ shots from this morning for you. Most consistent spot was Curly, but like everywhere at the moment, it had a high percentage of shutdowns. Size ranged from waist to shoulder on the bombs. Water seemed particularly chilly too, although it’s still 17C offshore at the MHL buoy. Speaking of which, […]

Saturday morning and waves to be had

Hello Friends, Cold and glassy for the early with sets in the waist to chest plus range at the top of Northy and from about the pole to Dee Why point. At 0500 swell was SE at 2 metres with a typical period of 11 seconds. At 0710 wind was west around 10 kts. Tide […]

Fun looking but not super consistent

Hello Friends, Swell has faded overnight and is weakening steadily. As of 0800 it was a touch under 2 metres and coming from the SE at about 10 seconds apart. Wind was light and the air, well it was chilly. Not too many in the water chasing some clean but mostly shutting down chest plus […]

Drizzly but more waves about

dy point surfer

Hello Friends, A drippy start to Wednesday but even with an approaching high tide (0850), there were a few waist to chest wave faces at the better spots. The 0700 data from offshore showed 1.7 metres of SE swell at 13 seconds. The spectra reveals that it’s a mix of 7-8 sec east and longer […]

Not raining yet and there’s swell too

Hello Friends, There’s a 95% chance of rain, but at 0730 skies were partly cloudy. Wind was out of the north at 10-15kts and swell was coming from the south around to the SE. The MHL buoy was picking up 1.7 metres from 137 degrees at 14.8 seconds. Water temp out at the buoy is […]
