Fun looking Monday morning
Hello Friends, If you were able to hit it for the early, you’re probably smiling. The swell dropped overnight, but this morning was still seeing shoulder plusses at the point and along the beach at Dee Why. According to the modelling, it should stick at around this size all day. Swell was coming from the […]
Faded and fading but not flat
Hello Friends, A lovely 5 degrees at 0700 when I climbed aloft for my first look at the sea today. It wasn’t detering a hardy band of keen types from getting amongst the fading south swell down at Dee Why though. There were a few bods sitting hopefully at the point, but that looked to […]
Better late than never!
Hello Friends, Sorry to wander in so late… went surfin’ this morning and then took pictures and stuff… you know how it is boss. According to the MHL data, Sydney was the biggest region wave wise along the NSW coast at midday. Under sunny skies and with a light offshore, swell was coming in from […]
Morning’s swell
Hello Friends, If the breeze is coming from the southerly quarters in the early morning hours – and there’s swell – you can hear all the way up the valley to RealSurf HQ on Collaroy Plateau. I could hear it this morning, so I’m not surprised to be telling you that we have some south […]
Woohoo! Little fun looking waves for Sunday morning at Dee Why
Hello Friends, What a nice looking morning down at Dee Why. Shame I can’t join the growing crowd. Gotta do the radio thing with Simon Marnie and Dr. Rip at about 1010 or so on 702 ABC. Sets seemed to be nudging into the chest high category when I checked around 0830. Plus it was […]
Waves on tap this morning
Hello Friends, As expected we still have a little east swell sticking around this morning. It was 1.7 metres on average with a typical period of close to 15 seconds at 0400 and by 0730 that was translating into sets wave faces into the shoulder to head high range on take off at Dee Why […]
Saturday late, starting to perk…
Hello Friends, Had a look at Northy and Long Reef just as the change hit and the wind went more around to offshore. Swell is definitely showing, particularly at well exposed spots like Northy. Heaps of folks in the water, but whadya expect for a hotly anticipated swell – and a weekend? The ominous rumbling […]
Small again, but maybe some little something
Hello Friends, Not the best looking conditions early. Swell has slipped down another cog over yesterday. It’s coming mainly from the SE at about a metre with an average period of 11-12s. Early on the surface was pretty choppy looking even though the north wind was pretty light, however, as of 0700 it seemed to […]
Dropped a lot but not flat
Hello Friends, Looked like the plan was to hit it early at Dee Why on a dropping tide and before the NE’r picked up. Swell has dropped to about half its 3 metre peak around the middle of the day yesterday. (It always looked raw and lumpy when I checked it through the day, but […]
Light onshore but solid swell
Hello Friends, Well, whadya know. The modellers were right and we do in fact have actual swell this morning. The MHL buoy data from 0400 showed 1.9 metres of SE swell at 12 seconds apart. Very nice numbers. Sadly, as the pictures show, we had 10 kts of easterly from the get-go and the ocean […]
