Quiet out there
Hello Friends, Swell has, as expected, faded away to pretty much nothing. The primary swell direction is out of the NE and it’s about a metre at sea. But the average period is just 7 seconds, so there’s just not much energy in the ocean right now. Looking at the data from up and down […]
Your call is important to us
Hello Friends, We’re in for a mild and sunny day with S-SW winds but, sadly, not much in the way of swell. What we’ve got on that front is 7 second period NE wind swell of about a metre. As a consequence there’s not much of anything happening at Dee Why. I couldn’t see anyone […]
Go swimming
Hello Friends, Only a metre of 7-second period wind swell lapping into the beaches of Sydney this morning. And not a punter to be seen in the water at Dee Why.The light northerly breeze this morning is set to swing NE and to ramp up into the 20-30 kt range. That being the case, there […]
A few little waves about for the keen
Hello Friends, Lightly offshore with a small and messy NE wind swell this morning for the northern beaches. There were junky waist high plus things flopping over at Dee Why. They were looking a bit better at Northy, but the crowd factor was an issue. Sunny skies and little waves; could be worse! […]
I think you know already… but yeah, it’s puny
Hello Friends, Another smoky, hazy and tiny morning along the northern beaches. The little 1 metre NE windswell is sputtering along at about 7 seconds apart, so it’s pretty unlikely that you’ll find much above the knee to waist high range. Wind is set to pick up and swing offshore, so I’d expect that to […]
Weak Wednesday
Hello Friends, Pretty much in line with expectations, this morning sees sunny skies and offshore winds. Sadly they’ve turned up to find maybe a metre of weak 7 second period north east wind swell waiting for them. (But there are brighter prospects for later in the week. ) No sign of anyone in the water […]
Marginal – kinda like yesterday
Hello Friends, Not too fabulous looking this morning. There’s a short period little NE windswell flapping lightly as moth’s wing against the coast. The big ones are around waist high and you’re doing well if you can extract more than a couple turns before they fade away. Not much wind as the day got started, […]
Misty start, getting hotter
Hello Friends, Went out for a look around this morning. High tide is doing a number on the close-together NE windswell. The main activity at Curly is from about the middle of the beach down to the south end. There were a fair number of bods out in front of the SLSC, but only a […]
Little waves again, but not flat
Hello Friends, Coming back from my half-yearly appointment with the liquid nitrogen gun I checked the situation from Curly to North Narrabeen. There are some mostly waist high and weak little things getting in for the relatively small number of takers at the latter two spots. The wind’s into it pretty strongly as expected, so […]
Very, very small
Hello Friends, Well, it’s awful tiny this morning around the northern beaches. I was up for an early and ended up going for coffee instead. Need a few more waveless days before I’m ready to go out in anything I guess. First spot on the checkout list was Dee Why at daybreak. Watched it with […]
