Hello Friends
Okay, it wasn’t perfect or anything, but at least there was SE windswell all day and the wind didn’t get too out of hand. I got a few waves at Dee Why point, but given the swell direction, it was far from the only place with something worth the effort. Mostly it was in the waist to chest high range, but every now and then something closer to head high turned up to keep things interesting.
The SE windswell didn’t vary much through the day. Basically it stayed around the two metre mark out at sea with an average period of about 8-9sec. Outlook si for the energy levels to weaken a little overnight, but with luck tomorrow will still offer a few options for the keen. First tide of the day will a high at about 0720, the wind should be out of the NE and once again we have a high likelihood of showers at some point during the day.
Go well!
