Hello Friends,
Jammed for time this am, so will keep it brief. There were waist to chest dribblers at Dee Why when I checked and grabbed the pic.
Swell is showing at a couple metres from the SSE at about 9 seconds, but it’s not doing as much as I’d have expected. There should be something at the point, but the tide’s swamped it.
The Bureau has a dangerous surf warning up, but I can’t say that I saw anything that looked terribly daunting.
Have yourself a fun Friday.
(ps: from tomorrow I’ll be back in over the horizon mode again, so expect a few postcards!)
Tides: H @0830 L@1515
