Hello Friends,
Lovely morning out there but not a hint of a wave at Dee Why, nor anywhere else along most of the east coast. Only a 6 second period NE wind swell lapping in. You might possibly find a knee high wave face at the right spot on the right tide, but that’s about it. And there’s really no prospect of significant change until maybe mid-week when we could possibly see a little uptick in the energy levels. The long range modelling this morning is projecting no major swell events for the next couple of weeks in our region.
By the time the next swell hits, we’ll probably all be in steamers again.
But that’s how it goes sometimes in the transition to winter.
So have yourself a top old Saturday, get up to some good and stay happy!
