Hello Friends,
0940 update:
Saw Manly and Curly this morning around 0830 and both were better looking than Dee Why. Manly was clean and mostly shutting down but delivering the odd interesting section thanks to various peaks between about mid-Steyne and Queensie. Curly was bumpier and lumpier, but also bigger and again, if you were patient, the odd head high wave face was on offer…
Earlier:
Swell was much smaller this morning at Dee Why. At 0720 there were a few chest high sets at the point and the odd slightly bigger one along the beach. The swell was 1.5 metres at 9 seconds apart from the SE according to the 0600 data from the MHL buoy.
Wind was westerly and expected to remain light through the day. Swell is predicted to decline steadily as we head toward what looks like being a long lull before our next significant swell event.
So, the plan looks to be to get in now if you can.
Whatever happens with your surf plans, best wishes for great Monday to one and all!
Tides: L@0935, H @1615
