Smoky Sunday morning with tiny little lines
Hello Friends, Sunday morning in Dee Why was smoky, hazy, lightly offshore and very small on a rapidly incoming tide. Lots of hazard reduction burning going on around the Sydney basin this weekend and it seems the weather conditions have conspired to trap it more effectively than usual. Not the greatest for some of the […]
Little pickings for the keen early
Hello Friends, Had to wait for the fog to clear to see what was going on at the beach this morning. At 0845 Dee Why was socked in but by 0900 visibility was back to 20km+. The Loyal Order of Sunday Mornings, Dee Why Chapter, was in the water out in front of the SLSC. […]
The ocean stirs…
Hello Friends, A small line was evident when I checked Dee Why right on low tide a little after 0700. According to the MHL buoy, it’s mainly out of the SE at about 8 seconds apart with an average height at sea of a metre. Wind should be light this morning before swinging south later […]
Postcard from Cali & a few thoughts on Sydney surf prospects
Hello Friends, Sorry about the silence from your humble servant. I’m back on the other side of the planet again on family business. Looks like you’ve had nice little waves in Sydney, but I’m thinking from the look of the WRL cam at south Narra, it’s not going to be too red hot today for […]
Back to puny this morning
Hello Friends, As anticipated in the forecast yesterday, this morning sees very little in the way of wave energy. Dee Why was struggling to deliver any sets much above the waist high mark when I checked it a little after 0800. The tide won’t be changing much between now and dusk (the tidal swings are […]
Micro Monday
Hello Friends, Wind was okay as Monday got started in Sydney. But Huey’s lost interest in us for the time being. There’s a metre of SE wind swell (at about 8 seconds) wafting gently into the beaches this morning. You’ll do well if you can find something waist high. And then, it’s likely to be […]
If an ocean could be a lake
Hello Friends, Socked in with fog this morning at 0600 when I first prised me peepers open. Fortunately the Internet was clear and I was instantly able to establish that we are still in the grip of microness. The MHL buoy is showing about a metre of 8 second period SE wind swell out at […]
Yep, flat again
Hello Friends, Swell energy level is up very marginally to about the 8 second mark. But the average height at sea is still only a metre or so from the SE. And so, there’s really nothing happening at Dee Why. Wind was light and northerly as Wednesday kicked off, but the Bureau tells us it’ll […]
Really, really, really small
Hello Friends, Nothing much at all showing at Dee Why as of 0800 on Tuesday. Swell is out of the SE at about a metre and 8 seconds apart, plus the tide is heading toward a high at 1040 or so. As a consequence the waters at the Dee Why end of the Longy to […]
Sunny Saturday small surf (very small)
Hello Friends, Very little energy around this morning but not quite flat. Almost… but not quite. Dee Why and south Narrabeen were both showing about the same size – which was maybe knee high if you were being generous. Outlook is for only a slight chance of an improvement today – and that will be […]
