Little but not flat everywhere

Hello Friends, More smoke haze from burning off expected in Sydney this morning. The waves have clicked down another notch too. It’s a metre at 12 seconds from 159°(SSE). Wind was light WNW early, ocean is 21C and first tide of the day is a 1.7 m high at 0900. It’ll be back to low […]

Long lines, setty and clean

Hello Friends, Swell’s dropped back overnight, but the average period is still around 14 seconds, so even if it’s mostly around the metre mark out as sea, south swell receptive spots were seeing sets this morning into the shoulder high range. You just had to be very patient. As of 0900 the wind was out […]

South spots are go

Hello Friends, Overcast start to Saturday with waves just starting to show at south magnets. Sets were very infrequent, so expect long waits and equally long lines. Wave faces were in the chest to shoulder high range – and could be getting bigger as the day goes along. PEP 11 Paddle out is on by […]

Fading swell Saturday

Hello Friends,  A swampy 1.8 m high tide at 0800 plus a mainly SSE swell that’s dropped from 2.1 m yesterday afternoon to 1.3 m with a 9 second period at daybreak, means minimal surf options this morning. At least the wind looks like staying light and from the north quarters until this afternoon when […]

Not much happening at the Dee Why end of the beach, but up at Longy there was a steady supply of rideable little peaks and walls to be had.

A minute of video from 1100 this morning at Long Reef beach. Little waves on tap and holiday crowds under sunny skies.

Ok size at the magnets but…

Hello Friends, The NE’r was making itself felt at 0700, but there were shoulder plus waves to be had if you were in the right spot at the right time. The combo of 9sec 2.4 metre SE and a similar size NE wind swell was providing ample energy. That said, when I checked the Dee […]

Surfin’ Saturday for Sydney

Hello Friends, Interesting mix of NE and SE swell this morning in Sydney. The SE component was dominant and according to the MHL data wwas 1.5 metres at 9 seconds. So, it’s definitely smaller than yesterday. That said, I saw chest plusses at North Narrabeen, Long Reef and No Man’s on my run around this […]
