Wha?? Where’d it go??

Hello Friends, Grrr. Last night I was nurturing hopes for a little something in the surfable range this morning. After all, there had been some shoulder high – albeit very messy and short period – sets as Monday ended. But no. Not at Dee Why anyway. The MHL buoy is showing a metre of SE […]

Slumbering Huey sighs out a few tiny ripples

Hello Friends, Dear oh dear. It looks to me as though we’ve slipped another cog toward flatness this morning. I couldn’t see anyone in the water trying to catch waves at Dee Why when I checked the situation this morning. A glance at the latest data from the MHL Sydney buoy is showing we have […]

Gloomworld

Hello Friends, Unfortunately there really isn’t much of anything in the way of surfable energy this morning in Sydney. 65mm of rainfall last night will ensure that the water is extra woofy anyway, so you’re not missing much in that regard. Right now it looks as though we should have lots of time for ding […]

Sunny breaks but very small

    Hello Friends, Same old same old this morning. Well, not quite. The gloom has largely abated and the wind’s come more around to the E-NE. We’re still looking at very small and weak SE windswell though. At Dee Why it’s translating into the odd knee to waist high groveller. There are a few […]

Little ones about for the keen

    Hello Friends, The quick version: we still have some little waves at spots that pick up SE swell. The numbers aren’t terribly impressive (a metre at 7 seconds), but there’s a enough going on to produce the occasional waist high set and it looks like it might be just a touch more energetic […]

How’s Saturday looking?

Hello Friends, What gives Huey? Have you forgotten about your friends in Sydney? It looks as though the only thing you’ve done since yesterday morning is to bump the direction toward the SE. Otherwise it looks as though you’ve left pretty much everything else the same: average swell height is a metre and the period’s […]

Surf week ahead

Hello Friends, Not an inspiring set of reports for Monday, so one’s thoughts turn to the prospects for the week ahead. Let’s start with the Bureau’s Monday morning marine forecast… Monday until midnight: Wind: E/SE 10/15 knots, turning E/NE in the evening.Sea: 1 to 1.5 metres.Swell: E/SE 1.5 metres. Tuesday: Wind: NE 10/15 knots freshening […]

Curly to Freshy with a nod to Manly

Having seen the situation at Longy, I was unsurprised to find Curly looking ordinary. No one was in the water at the south end, and the two bods up the north end didn’t seem to be going anywhere. The tiny amount of energy in the ocean seemed to be getting a touch more focus in […]

Late arvo update: Wazza to Mona

Running a bit late with the late arvo update! Oh well. Had a look at the Warriewood to Mona stretch at around 5pm. There were quite a few bods in the water up at Warriewood. but only a few up toward the more wind exposed Mona Vale. If you didn’t mind a bit of chop […]

It’s really small

Hello Friends, We’re looking at more summer smallness this morning. Dee Why has wave faces in the knee to waist high range. Wind was light and out of the NW as of 0800. The Bureau says it will swing to the N-NE later and increase to 20-25 kts in the afternoon. Should that happen, I’d […]
