Weds down a bit more but waves
Hello Friends, Swell still hanging in this morning. It’s down a fraction over yesterday but still close to 3 metres from the SE at 10 seconds. That’s translating into head to head plus wave faces at both the point and along the beach. Speaking of the beach, it looked a little tiny bit less straight […]
Tuesday early and waves with offshores
Hello Friends, Swell’s dropped back just a touch this morning, but it’s still delivering head plus wave faces for the crowd at Dee Why point. As of 0600 it was coming from the SSE at just shy of the 3 metre mark with an average period of 10 seconds. At 0730, wind was westerly at […]
Monday thumping swell but raw too
Hello Friends, You know it’s reasonable size when you can hear the waves from more than a km inland. The wind in the trees tells another part of the story too. Swell noise plus wind generally means onshore to sideshore conditions. As of 0600 the buoy data was showing 3.8 metres of 12-second SSE swell […]
Beautiful Sunday morning with waves to be had
Hello Friends, Looking pretty fun down at the point and along the beach this morning. Sunny skies and a reasonably consistent 2 metre SE-ESE 13-second swell combined with a 0940 low tide and light W-SW wind. I’d give it 7 out of 10. Wind should stay light and variable until late in the day when […]
Swell day two: smaller but still fun looking
Hello Friends, Two good things to report this morning. First, the southerly wasn’t blowing it out at 0700 and second, although it’s dropped about a metre, it’s still 2 metres at 11 seconds and better, it’s coming from the SSE rather than the S by SSW. There was quite a crowd on the point again […]
Showery still but clean for the first shift
Hello Friends, My usual leisurely Sunday start and whadya know, there’s a shower pattering down outside as I write this, but the expected southerly wind hasn’t kicked in yet and the swell’s ticking over nicely down at the point. At 0800 the swell was coming at us from the SE. It was 2 metres on […]
Cold, rainy and solid with clean surface conditions
Hello Friends, Steady rain and 8-10C air temps weren’t putting off the keen this morning. Only phone pics for you this morning, but as they sort of show, surface conditions were smooth and 3 metres of 11-sec SSE swell meant shoulder to head plus wave faces at magnet spots. Tide’s high at 1020, so there […]
Surf options for the experienced this morning
Hello Friends, Just back from a run to Manly and can report that the extra east in the swell is lighting up a few more options. The Bower actually had a few shoulder plus sets and Manly was shoulder at the south end to head plus at Queensie. Curly had one taker. Just looks like […]
Clean and fun sized waves on tap this morning
Hello Friends, A chilly start to the morning, but the wind was offshore and yesterday’s swell, though much diminished is still delivering heaps of fun to the first shift. The wind is supposed to go SE later but stay below 10 kts, so the clean and fun conditions should last a lot longer than yesterday. […]
Only a touch smaller than yesterday
Hello Friends, Swell has dropped a fair amount from yesterday’s peak intensity, but it’s not exactly tiny. If you’re a beginner or even a tentative intermediate, sit and watch for half an hour before committing. The direction (SE) and average period (10sec) haven’t changed much, but average height at sea is closer to 2-3 m […]
