Hello Friends,
A steady 6-8 kts of north wind was making for choppy conditions at Dee Why shortly before 0700. A small wind swell was coming from the east and it was producing knee to waist plus sets at the point. The beach looked to be similar but when I checked it there weren’t any takers I could see. Tide was low as I grabbed the pics and it’ll be high again at 1310. By that point the wind’s expected to be north to NE 15-25 kts, so I doubt that the point will still be much of an option.
There’s a strong wind warning again for similar conditions tomorrow, but beyond that things are looking brighter according to the Goat…
On that cheerful note, have yourself a top old Friday and stay happy!
