Hello Friends,
Light west wind early under sunny skies with a 10-sec 3.6m lumpy SSE swell piling into Dee Why. As the pictures show, there were a few stalwarts out at the point looking for the makeable ones and duck diving the rest. The beach was at least as big, but I doubt it’s be worth the effort to battle through the endless lines of white water just to get out to where the lines are shutting down.
Tide’s low a little after 1000 this morning. Wind should stay SW until early afternoon when the Bureau tells us it’ll come back around to the south as the swell peaks across the afternoon.
Tomorrow should see the swell beginning to fade noticeably, but the wind’s set to be lighter so it could be pretty good.
I’ll try to grab a few more pictures for you today, so check back!
In the meantime, go well and stay happy.
