"Stay happy and you'll be perfectly fine" - Jack Norris

Catch ’em if you can

Hello Friends, It may be weak and small, but at least the SE wind swell is coming from a favourable direction for most beaches in Sydney. At Dee Why the metre or so of 9 sec SE stuff is yielding the occasional waist high set as the tide began to fill in ahead of the […]

Small to tiny Sydney

Hello Friends, Really not much going on this morning where Dee Why’s concerned. The swell is out of the SE at about a metre with an average period of 9 seconds. This is producing mainly knee high sets with the very occasional waist high bomb. When I grabbed this morning’s pic, there appeared to be […]

Back to quiet this morning

Hello Friends, Hope you got in for one yesterday because she’s looking pretty, but unsurfably micro this morning at Dee Why. Yesterday’s pulse faded quickly during the morning and it’s now back to about a metre at sea and 9 seconds apart. There might still be a little bump at perfectly angled stretches, but mostly […]

Hello Friends, Apologies for the late report. Surprisingly there seem to still be a few little waves left. Take your floaty equipment and if you’re going in the afternoon, look for a spot out of the NE’r. Swell at report time was coming from the SE. It was about a metre at 9 seconds. Looks […]

Postcard from Cali: A few little waves at Deveraux

Hello Friends, Looks as though Sydney’s not all that flash – if the MHL buoy data is anything to go by. About a metre of 9 sec SE swell from the look of it. Still, I reckon there ought to be a few fun little ones around at exposed spots. Looks like the day started […]

Back to small everbody

Hello Friends, Can’t fault the weather settings this morning in Sydney. Absolutely spot on in every metric – bar one. Swell is out of the SE at about a metre at 9 seconds. So, it’s not quite flat. Sets at Dee Why beach were in the knee to waist high plus range. They’re coming in […]

Dee Why doldrums bespeak a wider malaise

Hello Friends, Well, I’ve been right through the WAMs and numerous riffs thereupon and I can report that the outlook for the east coast of Oz remains bleak for at least another couple days. If we’re lucky, there might be a little bump into the thigh high range on Sunday morning. But if the supercomputers […]

Littler

Hello Friends, Managed to get one pic before the fog swirled back in again this morning. It’ll burn off as the day goes along. Not a lot going on wave-wise it has to be said. The Bureau says the swell should be out of the east, but according to the MHL buoy the dominant energy […]

Back to very small

Hello Friends, Very cold start this morning. In fact it was so cold that I actually spotted some frost on the sand at south Narrabeen. Yikes! Waves are much smaller now. Places that were surfable yesterday were just about flat this morning. There were a few bods giving the shorey and the point a go […]

PICS: Longy 0900-0930

Stopped by Longy on an errand this morning and ended up sticking around for half an hour to get a few shots of the crew having fun on a few peaks. Average wave was around the waist to chest high mark on take off, but as you’ll see, there were a few bigger than that […]
