Rainy morning

Hello Friends, Waiting for the rain to let up to grab a picture for you. From what I could see though, there isn’t going to be much to share. At 0700, the MHL Sydney buoy was showing 2 metres of 7-sec S-SSE wind swell. Wind is SSE at about 10-15 kts. Going by the forecast, […]

SSE wind friendly spots only

Hello Friends, Steady 10-15 kts of SSE wind was working over the surface conditions at Dee Why beach when I checked for the first time this morning at about 0815. Quite a crew in trying to make something of the very choppy and messy chest to chest plus sets. Tide was heading toward low and […]

With luck though it will be sort of doing something to lure the super keen… tomorrow afternoon looks a […]

Grey, messy, small, but you might be able to jag one

Hello Friends, Looks like another good day for the office or school. There are some messy little waves trying to get into Dee Why. I’m still waiting for the light to improve a bit before grabbing a snap, but I can tell you there were a few folks in the water having a go in […]
