Pumping Wednesday
Hello Friends, You could hear the swell at RealSurf HQ this morning, so I wasn’t surprised to see pumping swell when I climbed up to the crows nest to grab some snaps. As you can see, the sets are solidly overhead and surface conditions are super clean (the southerly didn’t hit as hard as had […]
Hints this morning
Hello Friends, Another beautiful morning for Sydney, but still not much in the way of waves at Dee Why – yet. As of 0800 it looked to be in the knee to maybe waist high range on sets along the beach. The point was too small to be surfed. Out at sea the swell was […]
Sunny and a bit smoky Saturday
Hello Friends, Heaps of smoke across the Warriewood-Narrabeen suburbs at daybreak, but pretty much clear around at Dee Why – Long Reef. There is a small south swell focusing in at a few points along the beaches. Set wave faces were up to shoulder high, but most places are a lot smaller than that. Plus […]
Another beautiful but near flat day along the beaches
Hello Friends, A perfect morning, but sadly the waves are barely there. Wind was 10-12 kts from the west at 0830 and out at sea the wave buoys were seeing about a metre of 8-second dead south bump. Water is clean and sitting on 19C. Sydney should see a high of 21C. So, the big […]
Hello Friends, Clear skies overhead at daybreak along the beaches. Swell out at sea has dropped a bit overnight with the buoys reporting 1.4 metres of 10-11 second energy from the SE (147°). Wind was westerly 12-16 kts at sunrise and should stay that way this morning before gradually swing toward the southerly quarters by […]
No sign of swell this morning
Hello Friends, As usual, the picture tells the story. No surfin’ for you this morning at Dee Why. It looked to be too small to ride at all. There’s a little bit of south wind bump offshore, but it’s only 5 seconds apart, so the 10-15 kts of NW wind is keeping it out there. […]
Super tiny but there are bumps
Hello Friends, This morning saw a metre of SSE (166°) swell at 8 seconds apart out at sea. As the pictures show, there are ankle to knee and a bit high sets turning up at the beach – but not the point. This is in line with the Bureau’s forecast, which also tells us to […]
Flat or near enough
Hello Friends, It was a good Saturday to drowse under the blankets for a bit longer, as you concocted an exercise plan that didn’t involve surfing – unless you own a SUP. There were a few folk in the water at Northy where waves looked to be maybe knee high on the bombs. It was […]
More flat than not
Hello Friends, It looked to be ankle to maybe knee high at Dee Why as Tuesday got off to a bright, chilly and sunny start. Not that it matters much, but the wind was coming lightly from the WNW at 8-10 kts. Out at sea the waverider buoys were seeing 1.1 metres of swell from 149° […]
Very tiny but not utterly flat at Dee Why
Hello Friends, Only a few hopefuls in the water at 0830 on another sunny and chilly morning at Dee Why. Waves looked to be in the knee to waist high range on the occasional sets. Wind was coming from the west at 7-10 kts. Swell at sea was 1.4 m at 8 seconds from 182°. […]
