Waves about for Saturday morning
Hello Friends, Light NW wind and a metre and a bit of 8-second ESE was delivering waist to the occasional plus all along the beaches. And as the pictures show, there were plenty of surfers in the water by 0630. Tide was coming off the predawn low at 0410 and will hit the 1.67m high […]
Clean and very small on Saturday morning
Hello Friends, Cool and clean this morning along the beaches, with a fading NE wind swell in the metre at 9 second range, surf prospects however were marginal. The waits looked to be long and the sets struggling to deliver wave faces much above the waist high mark. Tide was moderately high at 0615 and […]
Puny tiddlers for the keen
Hello Friends, If you’re desperate for a wave, there are very soft and gutless little things wafting into those places that focus ENE wind swell. Size is in the ankle to knee high range with the odd waist plus bomb. Swell at sea was 1.3m from 64° (ENE) at a choppy 5 seconds apart. Wind […]
Chilly breeze to start but sunny skies ahead
Hello Friends, Although we’re headed to a high of 24C along the coast today, this morning started out with a cool, 15C, 8-13kt westerly under clear skies. There’s a distinct but small line showing too. Swell at sea was 1.5m at 11 seconds from 164° (SSE), but I didn’t see any sign that it was […]
Little but surfable for Monday morning
Hello Friends, Reasonable numbers in the water by 0630 at Dee Why, but swell has definitely cogged down a foot or so since yesterday. Set wave faces looked to be in the waist to chest high range on the biggest ones, but it seemed to be inconsistent and along the beach, where it was consistently […]
Are you keen?
Hello Friends, It rained overnight but Thursday morning was bright with 8-10 kts of north breeze and 1.4 m of 12-second SSE swell out at sea. As the pictures show, it was struggling to get anywhere close to a metre along the beach at Dee Why where only a few dedicated types were scrounging dribbly […]
It was supposed to go flat but it didn’t
Hello Friends, Well, there’s a turn up for the books. The swell models were calling for much smaller conditions today, but Huey had other ideas and was dispensing the odd head plus set to keep thing interesting for the crew in the water along the beach. It wasn’t quite as big at the point, but […]
Sunny and just surfable on Sunday morning
Hello Friends, Another beautiful morning along the beaches. And it looks as though all of us with solar panels will be pushing lots of surplus free juice back to the network – which is another way of saying that we’re in for a sunny day with a high of 24C. As you can see from […]
Showery with shoulder high sets
Hello Friends, Passing showers this morning seem to have damped the crowds for the early session at Dee Why. Wind was WNW at 11-15kts before 0800, but the southerly was smashing into Wattamolla at 22-28 kts, so the comparatively approachable conditions were about to disappear. It’s Thursday, so that means we can look forward to […]
Blowing hard
Hello Friends, Windy old morning along the coast as Tuesday got into gear. It was SSW and pushing along at 24-37 kts by 0900. As you can see from the pics, Dee Why is comparatively protected, but there’s not much swell energy around. Swell is dead south and while it’s a couple of metres at […]
