Go early or go south-easterly

Hello Friends,

The Bureau’s call is for SE wind today in the 15 kt range. As things got started this morning, swell was around two metres from the south at around 8 seconds apart. At Dee Why that means a few widely spaced waist to chest high things along the beach, and not much of anything at the point. Winds were very light but the baleful direction does not bode well for later.

The Bureau and this morning’s run of the models say that we’re in a downward trend over the next 72 hours or so. If you’re keen, the plan is to get out there as early as you can and see if you can find something at your favourite south swell spot because the next opportunity looks as though it could be around Saturday when we might get another small south pulse.

Go well with your day and keep on smilin’!
