Hello Friends,
Nothin’ going on at Dee Why this morning. A couple of folks on SUPs were noodling around on the lake-like conditions. It’s already warm and the Bureau says as we head toward the predicted 29 high, the wind will push up from the north ahead of a late south change. From the look of the modelling this morning, that change doesn’t seem likely to pack much if any punch. The Goat made his weekly call of the conditions yesterday and as usual his prognostications line up well with the latest run of super computer powered projections.
Despite the tininess in Dee Why, our man in Manly’s observations indicate that a bit of poking around might yield an opportunity or two for the extra keen…
A head’s up to all you fine folk who need to get your message out to surfers: I’ve just set up auctions for most of our October ad slots. These are all 24/7 occupancies (ie only your ad runs in the position). Last month’s bidders picked up some amazingly cheap space. Check outthe October ad auctions here!
Have yourself a great day one and all.

Weather Situation
A high pressure system off the New South Wales coast is weakening and drifting to the northern Tasman Sea, while a trough moves across the state’s west. This trough is forecast to bring a gusty southerly change to the southern and central coasts today, before easing and stalling in the north overnight. Following this, a strengthening high to the west will extend a ridge across Bass Strait, before drifting slowly east through the weekend. This is expected to establish an onshore airstream through the weekend.
