Note from Huey: running late, sorry!
Hello Friends, Should be an interesting day. As of 0800 it was as flat as it could get at Dee Why. Meanwhile, down the coast at Eden it’s 4 metres at 12 seconds from the south. Add in seas and they’re peaking at 8(!) metres offshore where the buoy is. Batemans Bay started ramping last […]
Clean and small, but not flat
Hello Friends, If you were keen this morning at Dee Why there were some little thigh high things coming in. A brisk NW’r was grooming the incoming metre or so of SE wind swell for the small number of surfers on the dawn patrol. Might be a few little bumps around the magnet spots this […]
Clear skies, light winds early, but very small
Hello Friends A warm one coming up, but sadly not a surf one. Look, you might get a leeedle something at places that like a metre or so of 9 sec SE wind swell. If you jagged something waist high, I reckon it’d all be good. Tide’s dropping to a midday low (@1225) and the […]
Yep, tiny again
Hello Friends, Another day of near flat conditions. Take the long board and a large reservoir of patience. Or, just go for a beach walk (grab some litter as you leave too!). Energy is at a low ebb with only the faintest of faint SE swell lines coming in. The MHL buoy is showing 0.9 […]
Surfless in Dee Why
Hello Friends, Hope you got wet at the weekend because there’s nothing much showing this morning. The MHL data is showing a mix of 9 sec period SE swell of about a metre and some tiny NE chop left overs from yesterday. We’re in for another unseasonably warm and sunny day and from the shape […]
Beautiful but almost surfless Sunday
Hello Friends, Pretty much nothin’ doin’ at Dee Why this morning – sadly. It’s shaping up to be an absolute corker of a day with a forecast high of 22 (well above the mean average of 17.8 for this time of year) under clear skies. There’s a weak SE wind swell (1m @ 9s) delivering […]
Micro morning
Hello Friends, About the most interesting thing going on this morning was the spectacular fog enveloping the CBD. It’s clear and lightly offshore away from the city, but as expected, we don’t really have much of anything in the way of waves this morning. There’s a little less than a metre of SE swell at […]
Clean and fun looking early
Hello Friends, What a run of surf we’ve had. After a very ordinary start, autumn decided to finish up with a few weeks of more on than off swell. A harbinger for the winter surf season perhaps? Anyway, this morning sees the swell energy tailing off, but since there’s about a 9 second average period […]
That’s it for now
Hello Friends, SE 10-15 kts and about a metre of SE swell at 9 seconds apart does not a pretty picture make for Sydney surfers. Throw in grim, grey skies, cold temps and occasional rain and you have a great day for hopping into other things and forgetting about the beach for now. To the […]
Hello Friends, One of those mornings when you check it out, run an errand, get back and the onshore has started to do its thing. The spot in question was the stretch from Gardens to Wetherill Street. At 0800 it was smooth and glassy. An hour later when I got back with a board, it […]
