A typical (2011) summer’s day
Hello Friends, Overnight the main (wind) swell direction has gone from NE to dead south. The size at sea has bumped up a touch to an average of 2 metres but the period has weakened slightly to 7 seconds. Tide’s low at 0945 and will come in only a little to make the high at […]
It’s dull and grey and drizzling and onshore and small
Hello Friends, Too rainy to take a picture yet this morning, but given the rainy skies and steady SSE wind, I don’t think we’re missing much. Swell is showing as a touch over 2 metres at sea. It’s out of the south but the average period is only about 7 seconds. The Bureau says the […]
Dull and choppy looking this morning
Hello Friends, Sydney’s beaches are in for a pretty ordinary old day from the look of things. The ocean’s choppy and messy but there is a bit more of a line than yesterday and as a consequence a few bods are in the water chasing waist high lumps of junkiness. With low tide at around […]
A new Saturday
Hello Friends, Not the most appetizing morning as things got underway in Sydney today. Showers and cold temps greeted the hardy souls suiting up in beachside carparks along our beaches. But there was a reason to get in at the stretches with decent exposure to the SSE swell. It’s only a couple metres at sea […]
Small again, but not flat
Hello Friends, Moderate offshore breezes kicked off the first of April in Sydney. Huey turned on the wave tap by just a bit yesterday arvo and this morning saw the odd chest to shoulder high set in the mix at south swell spots. Wind is due to swing around to the south and SW as […]
Afternoon update: sorta something showing
Hello Friends, Been tuning in from time to time to the live feed of the Pro Junior up at Northy. Conditions are pretty ordinary looking there, but the odd shoulder high set seems to be turning up now that the tide’s dropped. Wind is more out of the SSW, so Dee Why’s not as affected […]
South change day
Hello Friends, Grey and drizzly along the coast this morning following the arrival of a south change overnight. Wind’s not blowing too hard, but it is out of the SSE to SE at 10-15kts, so surface conditions aren’t great. The MHL Sydney buoy is showing an increase over the near flatness of yesterday, but although […]
Monday evening wrap: up for the early?
Hello Friends, Climbed up to the crows nest for one last look at the situation. The skies are darkening up, the wind is blowing pretty hard and there are occasional drops of rain. The ocean is grey and choppy inshore. Out at sea, the whitehorses are very close together across the broad and darkening plain. […]
Cool and sunny morning
Warning Summary at issue time: Gale Warning between Gabo Island and Broken Bay. Strong wind warning between Broken Bay and Smoky Cape. Strong Wind warning for Sydney Closed waters. Hello Friends, Looking pretty small at Dee Why this morning. Swell is currently out of the south at around the 1.5-2 metre mark, but the power […]
Sunny cold morning
Hello Friends, After a bit of rain last night, Sydney wakes up to another brisk and breezy morning under mostly blue skies. The south windswell has pushed up a little. The waits for catchable sets (which are in the waist to chest high range) are not as long as they were yesterday. But you’d still […]
