Sunny sunday south swell showing
Hello Friends, When I checked it on dusk last night, I was worried that we might be waking up to more of the same this morning – ie grey, sideshore and messy. But we have a glorious sunny Sunday morning and comparatively tame winds for the brisk early. Fair number of bods on it […]
Cold air, warm water
Hello Friends, The cold wind this morning had me pulling out the steamer for the first time this year. But when I started wading out, I immediately wished I’d gone for the springy. The water is still very warm. I reckon it’s not far off the peak temps we get in summer. The MHL data […]
Pics: Dee Why point, late morning Wed 12 May
Perched on the rocks at Dee Why point for an hour or so getting shots of the crew jagging the shoulder to head high plus sets. Beautiful light and great shooting conditions, so if you were in the water then, you might want to have a look through the gallery to see if I got […]
Small line
Racing off to pick a friend up from the airport, so just a pic and some raw details for now… swell showing from south at two metres at 9 sec apart. looks waist to chest on sets. Sydney Coastal Waters, Broken Bay to Port Hacking and 60nm seawards: Wednesday until midnight: Wind: South to southwesterly […]
Grey, small, but not quite flat
Hello Friends, Not much wind around under cloudy grey skies in Sydney. According to the MHL data, the swell is still out of the south. It’s averaging a couple metres out at sea and the average period is around the 9 second mark. Given those numbers, it’s a surprise to me that Dee Why looks […]
heat is on in southern California
Hello Friends, Looks as though Sydney should have southerly conditions this morning, at 0545 there was 10-15kt of south wind and the swell was an into the useful range 2 metres at 9 seconds apart from the south. Semi-protected south corners ought to have at least something rideable. Should clear up as the day goes […]
Southerly day ahead
Hello Friends, Waves around this morning and the wind wasn’t beating it up at Dee Why as of 0800. Wind is due to be a factor though. Sets in the beachy were head high plus and the point was showing maybe shoulder high. I’d expect some bomb sets to be in the mix because the […]
Firing, go now!
Hello Friends, Just go now if you possibly can. Offshore, shoulder to head high plus at south spots. Easing offshore winds, sunny skies, low tide at midday…. whadya want? Oh, no crowds? Um, sorry, they were already there at first light. Everywhere will be jammed, but the swell seems to be pretty consistent so just […]
Are you ready?
Hello Friends, Shaping up to be a pretty nice day out there, albeit somewhat chilly (we’re going to a high of around 16). And we have waves! The hardy early risers have scored themselves some rather tasty shoulder high sets at first light. Skies are clear and the westerly should gradually decrease as the day […]
A few piccies from this morning
Don goes for a wander and takes a few snaps between 0830-1000 this morning.
