Small waves for the early

Hello Friends,
Not a lot going on at the beach this morning, but you could get the odd knee to waist high thing if you’re in the right spot at the right time. Swell is out of the ESE at about 10 seconds apart. It’s showing about a metre out at sea, but there aren’t too many metre high wave faces around the place. There were a few such up the beach from Dee Why and it looked from the crowd as though there were similar things going on at Northy. Tide is low at 0820, so you’d want to get on it soon because once it comes back in, I’d be surprised if anywhere would be surfable.

Today’s International Surfing Day and Surfrider Foundation is running a couple of fundraiser events on the Northern Beaches this evening
