Hot one coming up
Afternoon update: coming back from Manly (cheers Frank!) around lunchtime, I scoped the opportunities. There were very few, but it did look as though the odd one might be coming in toward the middle of Dee Why and up at Northy. Did some other stuff and then finally got in the water at the latter. […]
Little swell arrives
Late arvo update: Wind’s NNE at 10-15 kts as the sun goes down. Not quite as strong as the Bureau forecast (see below for the earlier call), but enough to make the surface pretty ordinary at Dee Why. Meanwhile, the swell is now straight south at around 1.5 metres on average. The MHL buoy is […]
Midday update
Getting on toward lunch time and the expected wind has arrived in Sydney. It’s 25-30 kts from the SSE now, but a couple hours ago, while it was still a zephyr, I joined a few others down near Marquesas for some high tide silliness. Set waves were maybe chest high on take off, […]

Sat arvo update
Evening all, Last golden rays of sun are dappling the walls in my office as a fine winter Saturday in Sydney heads toward evening. Just thawing out from a brief excursion to the Long Reef bombies with reporter PB and a dozen others. Basically, it was the wrong end of the beach for the swell […]
late arvo update, updated!

Late arvo update
Hi all, Another beautiful winter’s day drawing to a close as I start work on this post. Another hour or so of sun and then it’s off for our appointment with August tomorrow. A note for those of you who can’t see the daily pic gallery. It seems this is a javascript issue that is […]
Evening update
Hello Friends, While the tech types were puzzling over our prostrate forums, I was doing what any responsible webmaster of a surf site does when things technical go pear shape – I go surfing! As usual I had the little Olympus 725 tucked into the wettie, so here are a few snaps…
