Hello Friends,
A shower or two clearing says the Bureau, but it was mostly sunny at around 0800. Tide was high a little after 0700 and we had a small ESE wind swell of a about a metre at sea with an average period of a touch under 9 seconds. It wasn’t exactly firing up Dee Why it has to be said though. There was a guy on a mal winkling out the odd little crumbler along the rocks at the point. Along the beach it seemed as though the alternative watercraft were outnumbering the boards. Not that there were many in. Still, as the picture shows, the bigger ones are probably into the chest high range on the faces.
That low off Queensland looks interesting, but from this morning’s run of the forecast models, it’s not projected to sling us much swell down in Sydney. The call this morning seems to be for a 2 metre-ish east pulse late Saturday into Sunday…
Have yourself a great Friday!
