Hello Friends,
Light wind early and therefore glassy every where before 0700. Waves are around the knee high mark and coming mainly from the east.
A few people in the water at Northy, one person chasing bumps at south Narrabeen and a reasonable scattering of punters from Longy to Dee Why when I first checked around 0645.
The tide’s low at 1015 and by then the e-ne onshores will be starting their build to a summer standard 15-20 kts later this afternoon.
Outlook is for the paltry conditions to continue through to around Thursday when we should see a shift to a southerly regime for a few days (ie blown out most places but maybe something in a semi-protected corner)
Have yourself a top old Saturday everyone and go well with your plans!
