Flat or near enough
Hello Friends, It was a good Saturday to drowse under the blankets for a bit longer, as you concocted an exercise plan that didn’t involve surfing – unless you own a SUP. There were a few folk in the water at Northy where waves looked to be maybe knee high on the bombs. It was […]
So very small Saturday
Hello Friends, Very tiny on Saturday morning, but there are ankle to knee plus lines at the magnets, so it’s not officially flat. Swell at sea is out of the SE at around 0.8 m and 11 seconds apart (which is why they are just-surfable waves). Wind is set to blow hard from the NW […]
Still firing
Hello Friends, One more day of sunny skies and clean winter lines. Wind was light and from the west. It should pretty much stay that way too. Wave faces on bomb sets at the bigger spots were still occasionally into the overhead range, but mostly it was in the shoulder to head high range on […]
You’ll need to be lucky
Hello Friends, At day break, swell at sea was 0.8 metres at 13-sec from 173°. Sky was mostly clear and wind was 10-16 kts from the NW. Despite being pretty much flat most of the time, there were little sets in the knee to waist plus range at the usual south exposures. As the pictures […]
Tiny town tiddlers
Hello Friends, As expected, swell’s dropped back overnight and yesterday’s occasional shoulder high sets have been replaced by today’s very occasional knee high bumps. Surface conditions were nice and smooth thanks to 10 kts of NNW breeze and out at sea the waverider buoys were detecting just under a metre of 9-second energy from 136°. […]
So-so Saturday surf
Hello Friends, At daybreak the wind was out of the west at 8-9 kts, air temp was 8C and the swell at sea was a metre at 9 seconds and coming from the SSE (168°). Skies were mostly clear and tide was dropping to the 0.45 m low at 1040. The weather forecast is calling […]
Very quiet Saturday morning
Hello Friends, An 80% chance of showers today, but as day broke along the beaches, the wet stuff was still out over the ocean and skies were mostly clear. Wind was coming faintly from the WSW before 0700 and out at sea the buoy was registering a tiny 0.6 m bump from 151° at 9 […]
Saturday throws the switch to sunshine
Hello Friends, Had to run the odd errand around midday and since I was out and about I checked the surf again. There sitll aren’t any waves to speak of at Dee Why or Manly for that matter, but both mid to south Curly and North Narrabeen had a few very soft knee to waist […]
A few more pictures from Monday at sth and nth Narrabeen
Hello Friends, Another set of piccies for you to check out from today’s travels by your humble servant. Captions tell you where and what…
A few piccies for you
1000 UPDATE: Perfect conditions wind wise and the 80% chance of rain doesn’t look like applying this morning. North Steyne to Queenscliff was knee to chest and not super consistent, but unlike Curly and Dee Why, it actually had a few banks. Dee Why beach was a riot of pretty shutdowns and the point was […]
