Monday, Monday and the waves are still here

Hello Friends,

Although they had to contend with an 0620 high tide, the crew at Dee Why point were still finding a few fun sets this morning for the early. The wind was relatively light and out of the W to NW. The Bureau says the swell should stick around at the present two metres or so, but we can expect the wind to get more around to the S to SE as the day goes along. By this time tomorrow some of the models have average wave heights at south spots dropping into the waist high range, but they’re also showing another spike for around Weds.

Go well with your plans!

If you’re just checking in and want to know what happened over the weekend, here are my galleries which I mostly shot with the super shmick Nikon D3S. Who knows, I might have got a snap or two of you! (click the pic to go to the gallery)
