Dull grey skies, but waves to start

Not crowded for obvious reasons, but hey, you can catch 'em.

Hello Friends,

Looks as though we’re in for a cloudy day with small waves, side to offshores early, swinging onshore later from the NE.

Dee Why’s showing a little line again today, but given the swell direction, it’s not likely to be the biggest option around. There were knee to waist high sets turning up when I checked it and took the pictures at around 0730. Understandably there weren’t too many folk in the water.

There were some photogenic waves around yesterday. I spent some time shooting down at south Narra and will have a slideshow for you to check out later. Naturally everything I shot will also be posted to my personal site later.
