Hello Friends,
Another sunny morning with light westerly winds but no real sign of surf at Dee Why. There was a tiny line coming in, so one can dream of improvement. The Bureau says the swell should come up offshore. So, will that improve our prospects later today? I’m ever hopeful, but realistically I’ll be happy if we see anything surfable today.
Tide was low at 0640 and is now coming to a 1.5 m high at 1305.
Last night the ever reliable Goat rolled out his predictions for the week ahead, so as always, I commend his wisdom to you.
Have a great Friday everybody!

Westerly winds will increase in southern and central parts during Saturday as the next cold front affects the region, shifting southwesterly in its wake on Sunday.
