A touch smaller than yesterday’s smallness
Posted by: Don on February 6th, 2013Hello Friends,
Seems to have slipped down another cog this morning. Tide is dropping toward a midday low, winds are light and there’s about a metre of 10 sec SE wind swell.
There were a few bods in the water at Dee Why. Waves looked to be around the waist high mark on sets at 0830. It still looks pretty weak though (which was the problem yesterday as well).
Outlook for the next week is essentially more or less of the same summery conditions. Take the floatiest option in your quiver and set the expectometer to about 2.
Have yourself a top old Wednesday one and all!

The swell was getting less consistent by Monday night, but there were still some solid sets, the wind was lightly offshore and the crew wasn’t going to let Dee Why go gently...
One more day left for the magic swell and lots of folk got on it, even though it was a Monday morning. I set up near the surf club and shot for over an hour. So, if you caught any...
More fun for the large crew that pretty much lived at Dee Why for this swell. Late afternoon light was lovely and as before, I set up not far from the surf club to get the sweetest...
I got a hot tip from a mate that Mona Vale was going off on Sunday morning. But I couldn’t get there until the afternoon. No harm, no foul because I still managed to get a fair...
Saturday morning dawned sunny and offshore at Dee Why beach. The crew were on it, and before I went for a surf myself, I shot for an hour from about 0840. I would’ve taken even...
