Marginal looking Thursday
Hello Friends, Just the barest trickle of east wind swell showing at Dee Why this morning. It’s about a metre out at sea with an average period of around 8 seconds. Tide wasn’t really an issue at 0700 (it’s high at 1010-ish) nor was the wind a significant factor early. It was coming from the […]
Not flat, full, but not flat
This morning I wrote: Hello Friends, A metre or so combo of east and residual south east swell this morning is delivering the odd chest high wave face for the weekend warriors at Dee Why this morning. Of course mostly it’s smaller than that. Tide’s just tipped past the high as I write this a […]
Lazy Sunday smallness
Hello Friends, Lovely morning, shame about a) the high tide and b) the low swell. We have about a metre of mainly east 8 second period wind swell dribbling in pretty much up and down the NSW coast. Exposed spots should deliver little catchable things as the tide drops but we’re looking at another warm […]
High keeness required
Hello Friends, A sunny day coming up for Sydney with a summery high of around 27. Wind’ll be kicking up during the morning and building to 20-25 kts from the NE. Dee Why beach was showing the very occasional waist high set a little before 0800. I expect that to continue as the tide drops […]
Very small at Dee Why this am
Hello Friends, Not much happening at Dee Why this morning. The MHL data is showing about a metre of east wind swell at around 8 seconds apart. And that’s translating into the very occasional waist high wave face at the DY end of the beach. Wind is offshore and we’re heading for a high of […]
Tiny Sunday morning
Hello Friends, Just about to board the big sky bus for LAX, so I’ll make it quick. Swell has faded away to a metre at 8 seconds from the east. Your chances of finding anything above the waist high mark will not be great. However, it’s an absolute corker of a morning in Sydney and […]
Small but catchable
Hello Friends, Swell has weakened a touch overnight as the average period has slipped a cog from around 9 seconds to close to 8. For Dee Why the numbers were translating into knee to waist high with the occasional chest level bomb. Outlook for the next couple days remains promising. The Bureau’s forecast is showing […]
Small and onshore this morning
Hello Friends, Wind was out of the SE at 10-15 kts this morning and the little wind swell of the last few days has dropped back to about a metre from the east at 8 seconds apart. According to this morning’s forecast from the Bureau, the wind will stay at it through the day and […]
Wish I was at the beach
Today’s report is coming to you from the grounds of Narrabeen Sports High. Your faithful correspondent is conducting a car boot sale on behalf of Amnesty International. The breeze is cool and offshore and overhead the sky is brilliant blue. From the latest MHL data, I can see that yesterday’s little wind swell has shifted […]
Yep, just as small as yesterday
Hello Friends, The best surf news this morning is that our summer water temps appear to be filling in. The offshore buoy data shows about a metre of 8 second east wind swell and a water temp of 21. Our inshore temps are not always the same as out at sea, so your mileage may […]
