Hello Friends,
Very weak and tiny this morning at Dee Why. The windswell has faded overnight and at daybreak was around a metre from the NE at about 7 seconds apart. You might find something catchable at more exposed spots, but I wouldn’t expect it to be dramatically better than what’s showing in Dee Why. The wind is set to swing S-SW later so that might tidy up the little things getting into places like Manly for the late. I’d be cautiously hopeful of knee to waist high with the odd bigger one.
The Goat often has a word or two for us on Thursdays, so I’ll confine my prognostications to say that it looks to me as though we’ll see (perhaps) a slight increase in size over the next couple days in the lead up to a solid but stormy looking south pulse on Sunday. Way beyond that, out where the forecast models get highly speculative, there is at least the prospect of some solid south swell mid-next week… here’s hoping that if it happens, it won’t just be a stormy mess.
Go well with your day!
TIDES: H @0920, L @1550
