Not gone, look around and be realistic
Hello Friends, Grey and chilly as I made the run back from Manly this morning. Swell has slipped another notch down toward unsurfability, but there were definitely still a few waist plus waves to be found from Manly to Dee Why. Wind was light and swell was a touch under the 1.5 metre mark from […]
Definitely a few waves around from Manly to North Narrabeen
A few pictures from my Manly to RealSurf HQ run earlier this morning. Swell has come up slightly since this morning’s report and while the tide is making most places pretty fat, there are waves to be had at all the beaches I checked. Maybe as the tide drops, and if the wind holds off… […]
Nice morning, small waves too
Hello Friends, Can’t fault the set decoration this morning Huey. Nice looking lines too. But why is it they’re all closing out or almost too fat to get into from Dee Why to Longy when high tide was a couple of hours ago? Lots of folks in the water having a go at catching something […]
Little waves about this morning
Hello Friends, A few snaps from the Saturday morning circumnavigation of the Plateau to check the surf situation for my weekly radio gig on 702 ABC… Skies were cloudy but temps were comparatively mild and the wind was minimal. The MHL buoy was picking up about 1.3 metres of 13-second SSE swell at 0600. Set […]
Clean knee high wavelets
Hello Friends, Swell’s cogged down another touch since yesterday, so the best early risers could expect were knee to waist high wave faces at magnet spots. Northy was picking up a little, but not the rest of the beach down to Collaroy. There were small, clean mal/SUP-able little lines from Longy to about the SLSC, […]
The situation around 1100 (pics)
Went for a paddle this morning and fetched up at Longy. It appeared that the bank situation was pretty dire where the beach break was concerned, and it looked like there might be the very occasional little catchable bump at the bombies. It turned out very occasional was right. Long, long waits for soft waist […]
Fat and small but just surfable
Hello Friends, Sorry to run late. Had a chance to see the activity from Manly up to Long Reef and the general picture is of flabby, waist high but still glassy wind swell lumps left over from yesterday’s blow. There were folks in the water from south Steyne to Queenscliff at Manly, but the biggest […]
Very small but not flat
Hello Friends, Cloudy skies and light SW breezes to begin with today. Wind should go around to the NE in due course, but not get up to much above standard issue sea breeze strength. Swell is ESE at about a metre with an average period of only 7 seconds or so. That means weak and […]
Few and far between but waves still
Hello Friends, About a metre of E-ESE wind swell with an average period of close to 9 seconds washing into Sydney as Saturday got started. Surface conditions were glassy to start and skies were mostly clear. Water’s around the 23 mark. Set wave faces at the magnets (eg Northy and the Pole) were in the […]
Smooth but small early
Hello Friends, Mix of NE and SSW wind swell this morning was producing knee to waist plus wave faces. Wind was light SW early and although it’s not supposed to pick up too dramatically, it will come around to the SE as the day goes along. MHL buoy is showing about 1.5 metres at 8 […]
