Hello Friends,
Busy and chest to shoulder high with the odd bigger one in the mix for Dee Why at 0700. The point was well populated because it looked to be way more makeable than the (bigger) sets along the beach. The MHL data for Sydney was offline this morning, but I’d say that, if anything, the swell might be a touch bigger than this time yesterday. But, I may have just seen a couple bombs… so there is that.
The Bureau and the models tell us we can expect the swell to fade today and to be fairly small across the next three days.
Tide was high at 0525 and will hit low at noon, so the plan would be to get in asap.
Have a great Friday everyone!
