Quiet Monday

Hello Friends, Off to a late start around RealSurf HQ this morning. But then again, surf is pretty much gone where Dee Why’s concerned. Out at sea the swell was 1.5 metres dead south at just 7 seconds apart. So, even the magnets will be really tiny. Tomorrow’s shaping to be no better surfwise, but […]

Saturday surf on tap

Hello Friends, Heading for a hot couple of days with a predicted high of 29C today and tomorrow. Down at the beach the swell was coming from the SSE at 1.7 m and a typical period of 11 seconds. This was translating into waist to chest high sets at the point and chest to head […]

Faded Friday

Hello Friends, The numbers tell a story. Swell period was nearly 13 seconds from the SSE, but average height was less than a metre out at sea. So, there are still a few shoulder high wave faces at optimal exposures such as south Curly where the picture above comes from. Mostly though this morning it […]

Pumping swell under sunny skies on a breezy Monday morning at Dee Why

Hello Friends, Go’n’orf this morning at Dee Why. Heaps of folks on it at the point and good numbers in the rather intense looking beachies north from there. Not a morning for beginners or even slightly wobbly intermediates. Sets looked to be 1.5x overhead and when I watched, it was quite consistent too. Wind was […]

Little lines on offer Monday morning

Hello Friends, Swell’s faded again overnight and this morning sees much less activity at the point and lined up, shutting down waist to chest high sets along the beach. Out at sea the swell was 1.3 metres at 10 seconds apart. It was coming from 166° (SSE). As expected, the outlook for the next few […]

Sunday still seeing sets

Hello Friends, Another busy morning in the water for those in the Dee Why bubble. It’s dropped since yesterday, but there were still a few sets into the head high range at the point and along the beach. As of 0930 wind at North Head was coming from the NW at just 3-5 kts and […]

Blasting wind and thundering swell

Hello Friends, Wind was gusting pretty hard at RealSurf HQ this morning. It was WSW 18-15 kts down at North Head, but at 100 metres of altitude  where I am, it was hard to stand up. Swell looked raw, rugged and big at Dee Why and out at sea, the wave rider buoys were seeing […]

Flatness for Monday

Hello Friends, Today’s picture tells the (sad) story. We’re still waveless in the Dee Why bubble this windy and mild Monday morning. Skies were partly cloudy but the Bureau tells us we’re in for rain from this evening to Wednesday morning. Swell is still under a metre, coming from the NE and is currently only […]

It’s a lake on Sunday morning

Hello Friends, No surfing for the Dee Why bubble today. A beautiful sunny morning with mild temps and a light breeze from the north. Swell is 0.5 m from the SE at 10 seconds apart. Prospects are not good for today, but there could be some little waves around tomorrow as the swell comes up […]

Very quiet Friday on the surf front

Hello Friends, Back to micro this morning. A few people were getting their exercise by paddling around, but it looked as though the best waves were struggling to get above the knee high mark. Nice morning though. Swell at sea was sitting on 0.9 m at 11 seconds from 171°, Wind was coming from the […]
