Not much going on at all
Hello Friends, Only a 6 second, one metre NE wind swell on offer as Tuesday morning kicks off in Sydney. That’s just about flat at even the most exposed spots. So, a day for other things. Or at least a morning for it because there is a slight possibility of the NE’r pushing […]
Just about flat this morning
Hello Friends, A tiny, summery day coming up for Sydney surfers. The Bureau tells us we can expect a maximum of 26 along the coast and a brisk NE’r by this afternoon. Something for the late arvo wind swell junk aficionados perhaps. This morning looks good for a swim or a long staying-fit paddle maybe. […]
More postcards from Cali
Hello Friends, At 0500 the Sydney MHL buoy was reporting a metre of north east wind swell with a period of just 6 seconds. Wind was N-NE at 5-10 kts. High tide’s about 0720 and it’s going to be 30 today with a chance of showers. The NE’r should be pretty stiff by close of […]
A little activity… very little…
Hello Friends, Looks very small down at Dee Why this morning. The MHL buoy is showing around a metre of 6 second period wind swell, so it’s not exactly a surprise that it’s so marginal. You might go a bit better at spots like Curly, Manly and Northy that do more with this kind of […]
Good morning for a sleep in
Hello Friends, One of those mornings when I wish I’d been completely wrong the night before. But no, just as the Bureau and the swell models foretold, Saturday morning dawns grey and rainy with only the most feeble of little NE wind swells lapping our shores. An excellent morning to have pulled the doona up […]
The holding pattern continues
Hello Friends, Nothin’ going on at Dee Why this morning. A couple of folks on SUPs were noodling around on the lake-like conditions. It’s already warm and the Bureau says as we head toward the predicted 29 high, the wind will push up from the north ahead of a late south change. From the look […]
Beautiful autumn morning… but…
Hello Friends, The forecast says we have an 80% chance of rain this afternoon, but this morning the weather was just about perfect. Only problem is the swell has dried up almost completely. The MHL buoy is showing about a metre of 6 second period dribble from the NE. That translated into knee high sets […]
Weak Wednesday
Hello Friends, Yep. Still small to nearly flat. Wind swell this morning is out of the NE. It’s maybe a metre out at sea, but the average period is around the 6 second mark, so it’s going to be another day of feeble and tiny conditions better suited to swimming or snorkeling than surfin’. Dee […]
Tiny Tuesday
Hello Friends, Nice morning in Sydney. There was a light N-NE breeze as we got underway, but as expected, there’s only the weakest of weak little NE wind swell’s showing along our beaches. It’s around the metre mark at sea, but the average period of about 6 seconds does not promise much power. Sets will […]
Little waves to be had
Hello Friends, There are some very small east wind swell waves along Sydney’s shore. You’ll need your most bouyant craft because the biggest ones are struggling to hit the knee high mark. Not much wind as the morning got started, but the call is for it to be going pretty stiffly from the NE by […]
