Hello Friends,

The faint little ESE swell of the last few days has kind of shuffled the deck (touch bigger, but touch shorter period) with the result that as of 0730 there were sets into the chest range (on take off) at Dee Why beach. Surface looked pretty smooth too.

Tide’s low at @0825 and high at @1505.

Northerly winds are expected to increase significantly during Thursday ahead of a vigorous cold front approaching from the west, and are likely to remain fresh to strong as the front crosses the coast during the weekend.
