"Stay happy and you'll be perfectly fine" - Jack Norris

very, very nearly flat

Hello Friends, Looks very small but not quite flat. There are a few little ones getting into the stretch between No Mans and Dee Why and between Gardens and Northy. However, it is really small. Knee high bomb sets and 5 metre rides is pretty much the story. Outlook for the rest of the day […]

Summertime blues

Hello Friends, Another beautiful morning in Sydney. But it is summer – and we all know what that means. Yes, microness dominates the picture. The best I saw was a briefly knee high set wave at Dee Why. It must have lasted upwards of 2 seconds. But hey, the water’s warm, it’s a glorious morning, […]

Oh so tiny – but not quite absolutely flat

      Hello Friends, Very small this morning at stretches with east exposure and pretty much flat elsewhere. We’re set to get increasing N-NE winds as the day unfolds, so your best hope for the late will be those semi-protected northern stretches which may possibly show a tiny and gutless little E-NE wind wave. […]

Beautiful morning, need waves

  Hello Friends, If you can find a wave in Sydney – or anywhere else on the east coast – then my hat’s off to you. Exactly as foretold in the forecasts, this morning finds about a metre of weak east windswell lapping our shores. There were a couple bods in the water at Dee […]

Bracing for the heat

Hello Friends, Dull, hazy skies over Dee Why this morning. The furnace hasn’t started quite yet, but the carpark behind the Dee Why SLSC is starting to fill up in anticipation. There were a few bods bobbing about in the beachy, but there’s no sign of waves as such. The reason for the microness is […]

Sunshine and small… again

Hello Friends Your correspondent is off on a bit of an adventure this morning, so I’ll keep it brief for now. Situation is pretty much what you’d expect when the windswell is from the E-ENE at about a metre with a power setting of 7 seconds. Dire is the word. No one was in the […]

Sunny and small

Hello Friends, Sunny, mild and altogether beautiful spring weather in Sydney this morning. The only problem from a surf perspective is that there’s really not much of anything resembling a surfable wave at Dee Why this morning. Judging from PB’s snaps of the Narra stretch, it’s not appreciably better at stretches of beach with good […]

Whoah, Huey, where’d it go?

Hello Friends, I was just about to hit the keyboard this morning, when the phone rang. It was RealSurf’s man in Coffs, Brian. “What’d you do to the swell??”, he asked. “Arrawarra’s flat as a tack. Yesterday it was pumping.” Having just looked at the Dee Why stretch, it was my doleful duty to report […]

Quiet Sunday morning

Hello Friends, Oh dear. Swell has really faded away. I saw one person at Dee Why, but no real sign of a wave near them. Did get a snap of what looked like a brief little peak down near the SLSC. The latest MHL data shows that the average period crashed from around 9 to […]

Midday: Went by Curly and Dee Why and can report that it is  extremely small and weak at both places. Not that it’s put folk off. There were many in the water at both places despite the very tiny waves. I guess you can put it down to the summery weather and lovely warm water…
