Dee Why slumbers at 0730 on Thursday

Hello Friends,

Your correspondent is mildly bemused. Dee Why seems to be utterly flat, and yet the MHL buoy is showing that the 0.5m SSE swell has an average period of 12 seconds. Given those numbers, there should be at least the occasional waist high set getting in to stretches like Dee Why. I mention this simply because I didn’t see anything in that range when I took my first picture of the day. That said, I think it’s a safe bet that if you can’t get to the beach today, you won’t be missing much.

Today’s marine forecast is calling for light NW winds in the morning, building up a bit into the 15-20kt range this afternoon. It’ll stay mostly cloudy apparently but get to 20. From tomorrow it gets cold again as a gusty change kicks up. This should be the forerunner of some windswell over the weekend, but we shall see. I’ll be keen to see the Goat’s take.

Have yourself a top old day!
