Not too fab looking here… or there
Hello Friends, Another remote report for the early risers… and the settings look pretty ordinary it has to be said. The latest from the MHL Sydney buoy is showing a paltry metre of 6sec NE wind swell. Gurk. Hard to believe there will be anything resembling surf around the joint this morning. If you’re really […]
Light conditions this morning
Hello Friends, Bumping along with little more than bumps at Dee Why this morning. The MHL data shows a tiny NE windswell of about a metre lapping in at a mere 6 seconds apart. I’m not convinced the two folks sitting at Dee Why point are going to pick up much of anything. But they’re […]
Marginal conditions
Hello Friends, Minimal swell activity evident at Dee Why this morning. No one was in the water when I grabbed a snap at about 0715. High tide was only an hour a way, so that may have had something to do with it, but the MHL buoy is currently showing only about a metre of […]
Little but once again you can catch ’em
Hello Friends, Still very small – but not so small you can’t surf. Just take your favourite tiny waves gear and you just might get lucky. The numbers don’t look to flash it has to be said (a metre of swell out of the NE at 6 seconds), but for some reason there are knee […]
It’s a grey small day
Hello Friends, Given how woeful the indicators were at daybreak, it was a pleasant surprise to see someone actually catch a little waist high section when I grabbed this morning’s snap of Dee Why at 0645. The MHL buoy is showing a metre of 6 second period NE dribble, so I wouldn’t be too hopeful […]
This Friday’s not for surfing (in Sydney)
Hello Friends, Choppy and very small to almost flat at Dee Why this morning. The longer period component that was giving us a few chest high plus sets at exposed spots yesterday morning vanished abruptly overnight. As the sun appeared over the horizon this morning in Sydney, a weak and utterly gutless 6 second period […]
Oh so small in Sydney
Hello Friends, Rather tiny this morning, but that’s not surprising because there’s only a metre or so of short period (ie local) windswell. The breeze is out of the NW to start and as the day goes along it’s set to pick up before a south change comes through. Sadly, it doesn’t look to me […]
It’s an ordinary old morning
Hello Friends, Huey is not smiling kindly upon the east coast of Australia this morning. Here in Sydney we have about a metre of 6 sec period NE windswell. Great keeness is required for these conditions. However, there is a glimmer of hope for improvement early next week. It looks as though we have to […]
In the holding pattern
Hello Friends, Lookin’ pretty small at the old Dee Why this morning, and the MHL buoy data leads me to think that it’s much the same everywhere else in Sydney. A weak (6 second) period NE windswell of a bout a metre is lapping sadly into our stretch of coast. Judging from the other buoy […]
Dee Why & Curly
Hello again, Back from the morning’s run around and I can confirm that once again it’s marginal. There wasn’t much wind around at 730 but there wasn’t much in the way of windswell either. Collaroy and the north and south sides of Long Reef weren’t even worth a picture. On the north side it was […]
