Marginal at best
Hello Friends, Cloudy with a 30% chance of rain today along Sydney’s beaches. But there’s almost no swell. Overnight the average period plummeted from around 10 seconds to about seven. And that means waves at south-exposed spots will be struggling to make waist high. A high tide at 0940 won’t help much either. There were […]
Cool start, autumn is in the air
Hello Friends, Sunny morning in Sydney once again, but quite a bit cooler than yesterday. A harbinger of mornings to come as autumn gears up. Energy levels are still at a low ebb on the surf front though. We’re almost at the midway point of April and we’re still not seeing things fire up along […]
Beautiful morning, but it’s the same old surf story for Sydney
Hello Friends, Wind this morning was out of the S-SW at around 20 kts, but the Bureau says it’ll soon be around to the south and south east. Swell was coming weakly from the south and was only about a metre at sea. There’s just not much happening wave wise. Checked the Collaroy-Narra and Dee […]
Hey it’s grey – again
Hello Friends, Grey skies, SE breeze, the odd sprinkle. Another one of those mornings boys and girls. And the swell? What can you say, it’s much as it’s been I’m afraid. The MHL Sydney buoy was showing a metre of south wind swell and Dee Why’s responding in the usual way, ie weak, junky and […]
Hello Friends, Grey and cool again. That would be endurable if Huey was also supplying us something in the way of waves. But no, we have only about a metre of 7 second period south wind swell and the wind’s out of the south. Worse, it’s due to swing SE this afternoon. Talk about adding […]
Good day for voting
Hello Friends, No sign of a rideable wave at Dee Why this morning. Not a sausage. Beautiful start to the day though. Kinda chilly maybe, but lovely nonetheless. While there’s really not much of any hope for a wave this morning, you might find a little something toward dusk tomorrow when we just might get […]
Little ones on low tide
Hello Friends, Had a look at the Collaroy-Narrabeen stretch around 1530. Fair number of people scattered along the beach chasing little knee to waist high faced windswell. Not as much wind as had earlier been anticipated, so aside from the water quality, it didn’t look hopeless on the low tide banks. I reckon […]
Chillin’ in Sydney
Hello Friends, Cool enough for you? At least we have sunny skies to kick off things this morning in Sydney. Wind is out of the WNW to WSW at 15-20 kts but swell at sea is from the south at about 7 seconds apart and only a metre or so on average. Yesterday morning’s 12 […]
Hey Huey! Where are ya?
Hello Friends, EVENING UPDATE: 1900, wind blowing steadily and pretty strongly from the SSE at around 20kts. Swell has gone from one to 2 metres on average, but the average period is still only a windswelly 7 sec. Some junky stuff in the corner at Dee Why, but you’d want to be keen. Outlook for […]
Monday, Monday…
Hello Friends, As PB’s noted, it is exceptionally uninteresting out there Sydney surfers. Waves are looking very small and weak and we have 15kts of E to ESE wind. Oh, and did I mentioned the skies threatening to shower? Blergh city kids. All we’ve got on the long range forecasts for the east coast is […]
