Looking fun early
Posted by: Don on August 4th, 2012

Hello Friends,
Offshores, sunny skies, waist to chest high and clean little SE swell for the morning sesh at Dee Why. There should be waves of similar size at all of Sydney’s SE spots I’d say. Quite a few bods in the water for the sunrise. Tide’s coming in to a high at 0945, so it will be full at many spots this morning.
Sadly, the modelling indicates that this morning is the peak for the weekend. With luck there’ll be little waves through to dusk, but tomorrow and Monday are looking like being small to flat.
But despair not, winter’s not finished with us just yet. According to this morning’s run of the swell models, the Goat’s prognostications are looking right on. A fresh, solid 2-3 metre pulse should come in on Tuesday and with luck it’ll last into Wednesday morning.
Get on it!
TIDES: H @0945 L @1530
