Hello Friends,
At 0500 the MHL buoy was showing 1.6 metres of 12-sec SSE swell. But there was nothing like that level of energy at Dee Why. Tide was right on high when I checked it at 0730. So that wasn’t helping. It was relatively smooth, but I couldn’t see anyone in the water.
Have to run, so will come back later with thoughts on the outlook.
