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

Hooray, little waves and sunshine this morning

Hello Friends,

It’s not booming, but at least there’s a little SE swell bumping up on various banks around the place. For the most part it looks to be in the waist high range, but there would be the odd bigger one in the mix too. Swell at sea is around 9 seconds apart and the average size is around the two metre mark.

Quite a crew on it at North Narrabeen, as you might expect. But there was hardly anyone wave hunting down the beach toward Collaroy. Around at Dee Why the point was being surfed for the first time in weeks. It’s right on the edge of rideable and size is about the waist high mark for the most part.

The wind was light for the early, but it’s set to swing from the SW to the S and SE by lunch time. With luck it won’t go too hard so we’ll still be able to jag a few clean ones as the tide drops. Water temps are still bumping along at about 20.

Outlook is for the pulse to fade but for there still to be little waves around over the next few days… and, right now anyway, the models are showing another pulse around the 10th.

Have yourself a good one!

Tides: H @0845, L @1520
