Some pictures for you from Dee Why, taken after filing the report this morning (see below)
Hello Friends,
Too misty for me to see much from the crows nest this morning, but I’d say it’s dropped back quite a bit and apart from the odd bomb set, size at Dee Why point is now mainly in the chest to shoulder plus range. As of 0700 the MHL buoy was showing Swell is showing SE at 3 metres with an average period of 12 seconds. Given those numbers, I’d expect more exposed spots to still be showing overhead sets. Wind was SW at 15-20 kts and tide is now dropping to the low at 1225. The weather radar shows a steady supply of showers raking along the coast this morning. Wind is set to be southerly at 15-25kts so the number of surfable options will be similar to yesterday.
The next few days will see the southerly wind and SE swell combo persist. According to the models, the pattern could basically last through to early next week whereupon it seems we may then head into an extended period of tiny to flat conditions… awww… Hue-EY…
Will be out and about with a camera this morning, so should have some pics for you later. In the meantime, have a look through my snaps from yesterday at the point…
Stay happy!
