Hello Friends,
A chilly 9 degrees at first light this morning, but the first shift was in the water at Dee Why.
Swell is SSE at around the 2 metre mark with a power setting of 9 seconds. This is producing shoulder to head high sets at both the point and along the beach at Dee Why. It’s maybe a touch bigger than yesterday – and yesterday had a few fun options.
The Bureau is still calling for the swell to kick up into the three metre range around midday. For what it’s worth, I can’t see any sign of the extra energy hitting down south yet, so I’m not quite sure what the Bureau is on about. But they are the experts, so I defer to them in this matter!
Looking ahead, I’m with the Goat on the prospects, ie more waves right through the holiday weekend, but gradually fading by the time folks need to be back at work and school.
Should have a gallery of snaps up from yesterday later today and, since we’ve got swell, I’ll get out and about with the big lens again. Remember, if you see me shooting, and you’re in the water, there’s a good chance you’ll find a pic or two of your amazing stylings in the galleries a day or so later!
Go well with your Saturday and stay happy.
