Saturday surf pics from Dee Why

Went shooting at Dee Why a couple times today. For the short first session, I set up just south of the Pole and shot toward the right handers on the peak in front of the SLSC, plus the occasional set on the point.

After running an errand, I came back for another session at noon. I ended up sticking aroun until 130pm mostly shooting the peak in front of the SLSC, but also grabbing the odd shot from the point. The peak had a lot more juice and though the wind was getting into it, there were some fun looking lefts and rights in amongst the numerous straighthanders. Chances are if you were in the water and caught any waves, I will have taken your picture!

Don’s usual Sat morning 702 ABC report

Today’s radio riff on 702 Weekends between myself and she of the dulcet laughter, Angela Catterns.

Don talks Saturday surf & the week’s prospects with Angela Catterns of 702 ABC radio’s weekend show.

Waves early, but brrrr!

Air temp about 10C, wind chill on wet skin, who knows.

Hello Friends,

Not warm this morning, but there are waves. We have a couple metres of 8 sec period south swell working its way into the usual spots. The beachy is bigger than the point at Dee Why, with sets approaching the shoulder high range. Lots of folk were not being put off by the bitterly cold S-SW wind.  It should be sunny all day, but the wind is due to swing more to the south, so conditions at some spots may go from okay to marginal.

From the look of the swell data, we should have waves of some description all day.

Tomorrow should see the conditions weaken into the marginal range, but then the models suggest that energy levels will perk up on Monday. In fact, the outlook for all next week is pretty reasonable – mainly fine conditions and waist to head high more or less. Peak days are currently forecast to be Weds and Thrs.

Go well!
