Gloomy, drizzly morning
Hello Friends, Nothing much doing at Dee Why this morning. The atmosphere was too thick for my usual start of the day snapshot but there wasn’t anything to take a picture of so far as I could tell. Wind was light SE at 0700 and the MHL buoy was showing about a metre from the […]
Small, but if you have something buoyant…
Hello Friends, Late start for yours truly this morning but for those who were up early, there were small waves to be had thanks to the minimal change in energy levels since yesterday. An 8 second period east windswell of about a metre is lapping gently ashore on the incoming tide. It’s set to cloud […]
Tiny but not totally flat
Hello Friends, As expected, the energy levels continued their steady decline overnight and Saturday morning saw about a metre of 8 second period east windswell coming into the beaches of Sydney. At Dee Why those settings were translating into knee to waist high sets on the incoming tide. The wind wasn’t a significant factor, skies […]
Just about faded away
Hello Friends, Since this time yesterday, the swell has dropped from two metres to a metre, the primary direction has gone from SE to east and most significantly, the average period has weakened from around 11 seconds to close to 8 seconds. At Dee Why that means the point is unoccupied and kiddies is equally […]
Hot… again… but change is coming
Hello Friends, Don’t know about my fellow Sydneysiders, but I’ve had enough of the heat now thanks. Bring on that lunchtime south change. There is a tiny trickle of easterly windswell making its feeble way in from the dull horizon. There was only a breath of wind before 0900, but the Bureau says the wind […]
Happy little holidays to you
Hello Friends, The metre or so of 8 sec period wind swell has moved around to the east and was producing knee to waist high grovelers for Christmas morning fugitives at Dee Why. The wind was light still at around 1000, so surface conditions were reasonably smooth. My guess is that it might be a […]
Hello Friends, A quick scan of the weather info before daybreak reveals that yesterday’s little east swell has dropped a bit. The Bureau’s call for this morning isn’t looking all that wonderful, but this afternoon is set to be even less interesting as strong SE winds are set to develop. Those surf condition destroying winds […]
Small
Hello Friends, No reason to have Dee Why on the check out list this morning. Swell is only about a metre from the east and the power is a marginal 8 seconds. The wind settings are okay for now, so it might be possible to find a little thing at a stretch of beach with […]
Tiny lines – again
Hello Friends, Glassy start to proceedings this morning in Sydney. And contrary to the wave forecast models, it’s not quite flat. The occasional waist high plus set is briefly standing up on the banks at the south end of the Dee Why to Longy stretch. A small group of early risers were on it too. […]
The tinyness returns
Hello Friends, The Ides of March are upon us and the surf situation this morning does not bode well Sydneysiders. Our swell has dropped away overnight and when I grabbed the pic around 0715, the joint was empty. Quite a contrast to yesterday when the junky conditions didn’t deter a reasonable size crowd from getting […]
