Faded away in the sunshine
Hello Friends, Just a solitary SUPster paddling along in search of little peaks when I checked Dee Why for the first time today. No wind to speak of, and (weirdly) sunny skies, but our swell energy has drained away to a greater extent than I’d expected. The MHL buoy off Sydney was reporting about a […]
Bumping along, maybe up a touch…
Hello Friends, Not much happening on Wednesday morning down at Dee Why. Weather’s nice enough, but I couldn’t see anyone in the water. Tide is high at around 0930, so that’s not contributing in a positive manner. Swell is still coming from the SSE. It’s about a metre out at sea and the average period […]
Saturday close of play
Hello Friends, Was out late this afternoon, so I stole a look at the beaches from Warriewood to Collaroy… the SE swell is only a metre out at sea, so it was pretty flabby. A high tide just after dark wasn’t contributing in a positive fashion, but people at Warriewood were finding little things to […]
Hello Friends, Missed filing for a couple days due to internet access issues. Sorry! Looks like a typical spring day in Sydney to me. High in the low 20’s and a NE wind pushing along at 15-20 kts by around lunchtime. There’s a little SSE windswell showing on the MHL buoy, so you might jag […]
There it goes… what’s next?
Hello Friends, Not exactly booming along the beaches of Sydney this morning. Swell is out of the SSE at about a metre with an average period of around 8 seconds. At Dee Why that means mostly micro, with the very occasional little teaser line. Outlook is for the energy levels to slip down a notch […]
Arvo update and pics
Hi all, Ran around this morning and got a couple pics to share. As I write this, the swell is still ticking over at exactly the same settings it had when the day started out. So, it’s sunny and offshore and there will be waves in the waist to chest high range at spots exposed […]
Go early to go well
Hello Friends, Swell’s on the fade so get out there asap if you want a wave. It’s coming from the SSE so there could be a few more spots picking it up than there were yesterday. However the period is a so-so 9 seconds and and the average height is about a metre (down from […]
Lazy Sunday afternoon
Hello Friends, Coming back from kid soccer around noon, I had a look at the waves in Avalon, Cooks and Northy. All were very small, but people were out having a go anyway because it was just such a fantastic day. Mild, sunny, light offshores… if only we had a couple more feet of swell. […]
The clouds have rolled in
Hello Friends, Gloomy start to the day along the beaches of Sydney. At first light, the skies were heavily overcast and the odd shower was falling. Huey’s left the swell settings pretty much where they were as of yesterday evening. So, the usual advice applies: if you found waves there yesterday, then it’d probably be […]
Line spotted at Dee Why
Hello Friends, You know, I could’ve sworn I saw something resembling a wave at Dee Why just now. A guy on a kayak was paddling out as it arrived. He flicked around, gave it a couple strokes and sort of went over with the white water. Okay, nothing amazing, but it was better than anything […]
