Hello Friends,
Swell has faded quite a bit overnight in line with expectations. There’s still some long period component, so sets into the chest high range are a possibility, just not a frequent one. At Dee Why the best options seemed to be among the beachbreak peaks rather than the point. Nothing too special, but there were a few soft ones to be had for the crew on it.
I had to run an errand and that gave me a chance to check out the Longy end and to take a look at Collaroy-Narrabeen. Not much joy really. There was more size and activity at Longy, but it was lumpy and bumpy and tellingly, no one was in the water. Around the corner, there were a few soft and occasional knee to waist high peaks from about the Gardens north. Couple bods in the water at Northy, but the wrong swell direction means they won’t be experiencing much excitement.
This kind of bumpy, so-so stuff seems likely to persist for the rest of the week and into next. Mornings look to be the best prospect.
Have yourself a top old Tuesday.
TIDES: L @1000, H @1630
