Pumping Sunday and everybody knows
Hello Friends, Sunday morning kicks off with heaps of fun sized waves – and heaps of people – at Dee Why. Primary swell direction is from the south. It’s a couple metres at about 9 seconds apart, so wave faces are head high to maybe slightly overhead. Surface conditions were smooth and the […]
Cold but good looking in the corner
Hello Friends, Aside from the bitter cold there were some nice looking south sets hitting Dee Why this morning a little before 0800. The wind is around to the WSW as the day gets started, but the Bureau doesn’t even mention that as a possibility in their 0400 forecast. They warn that we […]
PICS by Don: South Narrabeen offshore Saturday afternoon 18/6
Near perfect conditions on a Saturday afternoon at south Narrabeen. People were in the water from Mactier Street almost all the way to Northy. I only had an hour or so to shoot, but I made the most of it. Sets were into the head high range and it was offshore and sunny too. Lots […]
Still grey but not as windy and there are waves
Hello Friends, Cold and grey this morning along the beaches. But early on the wind was out of the SSW at 15-20kts and it was pretty clean as a consequence at Dee Why. Sets were into the shoulder to head high range too. The MHL buoy went offline yesterday shortly after the swell peaked, so […]
Not here as of 0700…
Hello Friends, No sign of the forecast big swell as of 0700 this morning. But the Bureau and all the models agree that we should have up to 4 metres of south swell this afternoon. Unfortunately the wind call is for SW’ly at 25-35 kts, so I don’t know how many places will be holding […]
Grab it while you can
Hello Friends, From the weather forecast last night, I thought it might be cloudy and showery by this morning. But no, it’s really quite nice looking down at Dee Why as a couple metres of south swell at 9 seconds delivers the odd shoulder-head high set. Seemed to be a bit of a wait for […]
Longy this morning
Hello Friends, Went for a splash this morning at Long Reef with lots of other fine folk. Gee it was busy out there. Quite a wait for the decent size sets and although they were into the chest to head high range, there was a lot of softness going on thanks to the high tide. […]
PICS: No Mans Sun 29 Aug 10 1000-1100
Weekend warriors weren’t put off by the somewhat junky conditions mid-morning at No Mans and Long Reef on Sunday 29 August. Sets were into the shoulder high range and there were lots of people having a go. I set up just south of the Dee Why lagoon entrance and grabbed a few shots of people […]
Well what do we have here?
Hello Friends, Ah, now that is interesting. I was hoping we might see a little energy come our way later today, but first light sees some nice looking corduroy effects at Dee Why and a glance at the MHL Sydney data shows a couple metres of 9 second period swell from the south. Wind is […]
Waves for weekend warriors
Late arvo snap for you… Hello Friends, Another chilly start to the day’s proceedings in Sydney. But the wind is offshore and we have a couple metres of south swell pushing in. It’s 9 seconds apart on average, so the sets should be into the head high range on the bigger ones at exposed […]
