Hello Friends,
Nothing much going on at Dee Why as Wednesday got into gear. When I checked for the first time at 0720, there was only the smallest of lines coming into the beach and nothing at all was showing at the point.
The MHL buoy was showing less than a metre from the ESE at an average period of 12 seconds. So, while there’s nothing at all in the corner at Dee Why, there could be the odd knee high something at more optimally angled locations.
From the shape of this morning’s forecasts, we can’t expect to see much of anything in the way of a change to size until Saturday when a new south pulse should make itself felt. Some of the predictions reckon the first hints of improvement could turn up at east spots as early as Friday, but the majority are saying the action will start later and then last through into Monday.
So, another day not to worry too much about missing anything at the beach.
Have yourself a great Wednesday everyone!
Tides: L@ 0755, H@ 1405
