Iggy, I surfed Long Reef on Saturday mid-late morning and the sets were every part of 4ft (a foot or so overhead). Craig Brokensha (Swellnet forecaster) surfed a Central Coast swell magnet on Saturday and said the morning was around 3-4ft, while the early afternoon had a few 4-5ft bomb sets. I've surfed with Craig before and his wave height calls are similar to mine.iggy wrote:HEAD HIGH...
exactly...
which (at best) would equate to 3 foot...
(not like the 4 foot plus beat up reports and end of the day summaries for saturday were suggesting)
NOWHERE HAD A 4 FOOT PLUS WAVE ON SATURDAY...
Wave heights will be smaller away from south facing beaches on Saturday, and locations south of Sydney will probably see a decreasing trend much earlier than locations north of Sydney, so if you're up for a day trip I'd suggest the Central Coast or Newcastle, over the South Coast.
Surfed DY strip around lunchtime, eventually ended up near the pole and I would have to agree with T-Ben to some easy 4 footers, not that I bloody got any.thermalben wrote:Iggy, I surfed Long Reef on Saturday mid-late morning and the sets were every part of 4ft (a foot or so overhead).

That's why I love my job. Instant curve-balls every day, just add wateriggy wrote:find it hard to see how a beach only 100klms south of Sydney that faces south east with no obvious buffers of swell would be only head high at best on the bombs, when i had someone tell me that maroubra of all places had 4-5 foot sets on saturday...
Ben speaks the truth and the crowd was only me and another guy during the early morning and only around 10 during the afternoonthermalben wrote: Craig Brokensha (Swellnet forecaster) surfed a Central Coast swell magnet on Saturday and said the morning was around 3-4ft, while the early afternoon had a few 4-5ft bomb sets.
I was gonna head south as well but was steered towards the north where it looks as if it was the better of the two options.still a bit dark at 5 but not to badSurfin Turf wrote:5diggerdickson wrote:had a fun surf this morning, only small, me and a mate from 5 to 7, excellent
by 5.15 its good enough, but I like hitting it before the sun is up normally start the paddle out at about 10 past. In other words, we went out of our way to find the smallest waves on the coast on Saturday Iggy.dinosaur wrote:in other words.

This is what I call confusing... fair old discrepancy for Friday on Coastalwatch or Swellnet chart, who’s going to be accurate?oldman wrote:In other words, we went out of our way to find the smallest waves on the coast on Saturday Iggy.
The one on the right is the one I saw earlier in the week Ric. Swell peaking in the middle of the night Friday, Saturday morning with north tending north east winds. Closer inspection showed the swell building through Saturday. If someone can explain how a south east swell can build throughout the Saturday from Sydney to parts further north, while having already passed the gong by 9.00am Saturday, it would clarify things for me.ric_vidal wrote:This is what I call confusing... fair old discrepancy for Friday on Coastalwatch or Swellnet chart, who’s going to be accurate?

You can be in the water at 5 am up here...but only just. I'm generally waxing up at that time and in the zone by about 10 past. Getting later each morning, now though.Surfin Turf wrote:5diggerdickson wrote:had a fun surf this morning, only small, me and a mate from 5 to 7, excellent

who had them to himself but had to paddle hard in the rip ... was quite good ... Me and my mate Phil were out opposite the track the clubbies come down with about 100 shark baits sitting near us. Good right hander coming through when you got on them. There were alot sitting and watching though. Water was nice and an easy paddle back out, can't complain.Surfin Turf wrote:with one lonely guySpoon wrote: a couple of good sized ones coming through .... down towards poles,
