A hint at Dee Why beach
Hello Friends, The point looked to be flat at 0700, but there were a few people in the water at Kiddies chasing tiny, maybe knee high bumps. That’s more activity than I’ve seen since getting home on Sunday. The MHL buoy data from 0500 was showing 0.9 m of 12-sec south swell. Tide hit a […]
Lake Dee Why
Hello Friends, Another perfect winter’s day in Sydney. Dee Why fairly sparkled at 0700 when I grabbed the daily pics.

If you thought it was small today, wait till you see […]
