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

Cold air, warm water

Hello Friends,

The cold wind this morning had me pulling out the steamer for the first time this year. But when I started wading out, I immediately wished I’d gone for the springy. The water is still very warm. I reckon it’s not far off the peak temps we get in summer. The MHL data says its 23 out at the buoy.

Dee Why point was pretty crowded, but I went out anyway, calculating that I should at least be able to get one wave. Happy to say I did a bit better than one, even though I was hanging in the photographer zone. Lots of multi-person takeoffs happening, but I’ve been in much worse crowds.

Biggest sets were into the head high plus range, but for the most part the two metre south swell was mostly giving us chest high stuff. No complaints though Huey! Appreciate your work as always.

Wind will probably chew it up this afternoon, but so far nothing’s persuaded me that we won’t have a steady supply of wave energy through to Sunday evening.
