Knee high line amuses surfer at Dee Why

Hello Friends,

Mostly cloudy start to Thursday with a light SSW wind at 0700 and an incoming tide (high’s at 1100) for the first shift at Dee Why. A small crew at the point was chasing mostly knee to waist high waves at the point and various other similar size peaks were seeing interest up the beach. I did see one chest high set at the point, so there should be the odd bigger one in the mix.
At 0500 the MHL Sydney buoy was showing 2.4 metres of 9-second SSE swell, so if you found waves somewhere yesterday, there ought to be something there again this morning.
From the look of the models, the Bureau’s call for the swell to fade over the next 24 hours, but, with luck, the waves won’t go away entirely. The Goat should be along with his usual weekend and week ahead forecast later today, so as always I’ll be keen to see how he’s reading the entrails.
Have yourself a top old Thursday and get up to some good where you can!
