"Stay happy and you'll be perfectly fine" - Jack Norris

Breezy morning

Hello Friends,

I’ll run out and look for a few more pics, but from the appearance of Dee Why at 0715, I probably shouldn’t be overly hopeful.

Wind is out of the NE at around 10-15kts and according to the MHL data, the windswell is a metre from the  ESE at around 7 sec apart. Stats watchers will know that those are not what one would call a beautiful set of numbers.

As you can see from the pic, at Dee Why this means very small to nearly flat surf conditions, spiced up by a large dollop of chop from the steady NE’r. And to make it extra special, it was right on high tide. Oh boy.

Next tide is the low just before 2 pm.

Around 0715 the scene was not one to set hearts racing...
