Hello Friends,

‘Windswept’ describes the beach reasonably well this morning. No one in the water along the Dee Why stretch when I grabbed the shots at around 0645. Wind is out of the SW at 20-30 kts and the Bureau’s hoisted the gale warning for NSW coastal waters. The wind should decrease a little toward dark, but it’s going to be the dominant weather note all day.

The upward trend in the swell which began yesterday morning has continued overnight. Out at the Sydney buoy, swell heights are averaging 5 metres at a touch under 10 seconds apart. The direction is dead south, so it’s getting into Dee Why (and the other south corners), but you’d be stretching things to say the quality was good. It’s pretty lumpy and disorganised but thanks to the touch of west to the direction, inshore surface conditions aren’t totally horrendous.

Pretty obviously your best chance is going to be found in those semi-protected south corners.

I’ll get out and about with a camera later today, so be sure to check back to see what I turned up…

Have yourself a top old Saturday!
