Hello Friends,
If you’re able to jump in the water this morning, do so, because it doesn’t look as though the swell has much in reserve. Wind was light and offshore for those keen enough to pull on wetsuits on a cold daybreak at Dee Why beach. Sets looked to be in the chest high range at the bigger spots. The MHL buoy is off the air, but eyeballing it, I’d say the dominant swell direction is SE. Average period is around the 8 second mark, so they’re pretty close together when the sets arrive.
All the indicators are pointing at a gradual decline into very small to unsurfable over the next 24 hours or so. And then it looks as though it’ll stay that way until around midweek when we might get a little NE windswell activity.
Have yourself a great Saturday!
TIDES: H @1100, L @1640
