Hello Friends,
Cloudy, patchy drizzle and light onshores set the stage for a trickle of 8-second period south wind swell at Dee Why. The tide was nearly full as well, so the surf options were reduced to a slightly junky knee to waist high.I could only see one taker, but given how close to shore the waves were (and thus out of my field of view from the crows nest), there might’ve been a few other stalwarts in the water as well. And good on ’em for being so stoked says I.
The onshores are set to last all day and there doesn’t seem much prospect of the swell picking up by much at all. And the forecast doesn’t look better for tomorrow or the next day. The Bureau shows the swell bumping up on Saturday by a little bit. But the wind may be a factor.
Hope you have a great Wednesday!
Tides: H @0755 L @1430
