Hello Friends,
A little group of people on very buoyant equipment actually standing for a moment or two as a little line carried them shoreward at Dee Why. Not bad considering that the average swell height at sea is less than a metre. It’s mainly coming from the east at a windswelly 7 seconds apart. However, the MHL Sydney buoy is also showing some 11 second component. That’s likely to be the reason people are catching anything at all.
I’m with the Goat on the outlook for surf over the next week in our part of the world. It’s dire.
Oh well, we’re getting into the season to catch up on things I guess.
Have yourself a top old day!
