Very, very small to start
Hello Friends, A beautiful, mild and sunny day with an offshore breeze, but only the barest hint of swell showing at Dee Why as we came off the high tide at a touch before 0600. We might possibly have a few knee to waist high things late this morning as the tide drops, but the […]
Little onshorey Sunday
Hello Friends, Light easterly bumping the tops over on a small (metre or so) SE swell (10 seconds) this morning. At Dee Why this translates into knee to waist high little things, but there are occasionally bigger sets (see picture). The good thing is that the wind is set to decrease a little across the […]
Small, tiny even, but not flat
Hello Friends, If you found waves yesterday, I’d start by looking there again today. The swell settings are virtually unchanged. According to the MHL data, the dominant swell direction is SE, it’s about a metre on average and the average period is holding at 10 seconds. Dee Why looks a touch smaller to me, but […]
Curly at midday
Happened to be out and about on errands and took the opportunity to wander by Curly for a look at what was happening. Not much as it turns out. Waited for awhile before a catchable set turned up for the small crew at the south end. Short, weak and slow rides are the order of […]
Little and tiny
Hello Friends, Incoming tide, outgoing swell = not much going on at Dee Why. The swell’s down to about a metre out at sea. It’s coming more from the SE and the Bureau says it’ll be around to the east soon. Best sets I saw were struggling to get to waist high. From the shape […]
Midday update: still a trickle
Went for a paddle at Dee Why point just before lunch. It was marginal to say the least but it’s so nice to be in the water at the moment. After getting out, I trundled over the hill to have a look at the mighty Curly. Shoulda gone out there I guess. Oh well. It […]
As expected…bugger!
Hello Friends, Rather tiny looking down at Dee Why as the metre or so of 10sec period SE swell mostly just laps along the rocks and flops over on the beach. A couple bods were having a go, but they didn’t look like catching anything while I watched. And that situation seems to be pretty […]
Small offerings
Hello Friends, Some sunshine around as the day got started, but Huey’s somewhere else (if Dee Why’s any guide). A high tide for the early wasn’t contributing too much either. Mind you, I’m not really sure what tide would work for the banks at the moment. Despite that pulse last week, the northern beaches seem […]
Got wet too
Joined a reasonable size crew at Longy around midday for what turned out to be a fun, if lully, sesh. Mostly it was in the waist high range like this morning, but every now and then we’d get a more substantial set. I’d put that down to the 10 sec average period. Even the old […]
Still a few waves about this morning
Hello Friends, Didja get waves at the weekend? Not quite as much energy in the ocean this morning, but it’s not flat. Swell is out of the SE at around a metre with an average period of just under 10 seconds. A few bods were waiting around at Dee Why point around 0700. Every now […]
