Hello Friends,
Quite a dramatic difference in the number of folks in for the early this morning at Dee Why. It’s a bit smaller than last night and looks a little less consistent, but as the photos show it definitely isn’t flat.
The swell’s around the 1.5 metre mark from the SE with an acceptable 9 second average period (and there’s some 11 sec component thrown in for good measure). If it’s in the chest high range at Dee Why, then you’d have to think there’d be a fair few other places that take SE doing similar things.
Outlook for the rest of the day is for the wind to swing around from the s-sw to the e-ne and for the present swell to gradually weaken. With any luck it’ll stick around in the barely surfable range through to tomorrow morning before it runs pretty much flat on Thr-Fri.
The current round of wave forecast models are showing a blip of swell at the weekend. At this stage the call is for something around about what we had yesterday or even this morning. Be nice for the weekend warriors amongst us if it plays out that way.
Speaking of weekend warriors, I’ve had on the photographer warpaint for the last few days now as I’ve set out to capture as many northern beaches surfers as I possible. Check the stories right to see if I got any of you!
Have a good one and go well with your day.
