Hello Friends,

Dee Why beach still showing a little something.

Tiny days are coming… but they aren’t quite here yet as reporter Rob has already noted. I was able to grab a snap of a little peak folding into Dee Why at aroun 0720. It seemed to be quite a wait between people catching waves though.  No wind to speak of, so it’s glassy and the sunny skies make for a pretty picture even if the waves are marginal and getting steadily more so.

The Bureau says the wind will be lightly out of the southerly quarters in the morning, before giving way to afternoon seabreezes from the NE. We’re still without the Sydney MHL buoy, but the Bureau’s call for 1-1.5 metre s to se windswell fits with what we’re seeing. The sets I saw had a period of around 8-9 seconds, and that’s pretty similar to what the Batemans Bay buoy is reporting.

The computer models are calling for very small to flat conditions across the next week for the Sydney region. It looks to me as though you’ll need to pull out your favourite tiny conditions gear. If you’re a bit light on in that department, you should consider dropping by the first ever RS Demo Day at Dee Why to Longy stretch. The good folk from GSI will have close to a dozen different brands for anyone to try out. Naturally there’ll be a good selection of mals and fishes from the likes of McTavish, 7S and NSP. Conditions look set to be ideal for beginners (and people looking to get something suitable for a beginner!) to try out a fun board, a softboard or a starter mal.

Have yourself a top old day and go well with your plans!
