Hello Friends,
1.5 metres of 9-sec SE wind swell and light winds under drizzly grey skies was delivering a somewhat scrappy selection of knee to chest high waves – depending where you were. Curly was a bit bigger than Dee Why, so choice of beach will matter.
Wind should be into it before much longer. The Bureau says east to NE 10-15 kts this morning and 15-20 kts later.
Tide was high at 0605 and will be back to low at 1235.
Outlook for tomorrow says that the swell should be around the same size but that we’re in for building NW wind overnight, turning southerly early. So, this morning could be the best shot.
Have yourself a top old Thursday, and keep on smilin’!
