Perking up

Hello Friends,

A reasonable crew in the water up the beach from kiddies at Dee Why. Swell size has pushed up about a metre over yesterday’s offerings. It’s still out of the SSE but unfortunately the juice factor has slipped back a few cogs into the choppy 7-8 second territory. Folks were catching rather soft and fluffy looking waist to chest high plus set waves. I’d be taking the fish or mal for this lot.

At 0730 the wind was out of the SW at 10-15kts and tide was racing in as it heads to a high at a little after 1100.

That wind is supposed to go around to the south and SE soon too. So it looks like the daybreak crew will have had the best of the conditions, but that there might also be some little junky things around for the extra keen later as a bit more swell, potentially, comes in with the wind direction change.

General outlook is for the energy levels to weaken over the next few days as Spring looks to live up to its reputation.

While we’re in dribble mode, you gotta think the Quiky pro organisers in New York are pretty stoked with their outlook. Hurricane Katia is brewing up and the projected path is currently right up their swell window. If they get lucky it could be pumping next week… better surf in NYC than Sydney?? That’s just wrong.
Have yourself a top old Friday!
