Hello Friends,
A cool NNW breeze was ruffling the surface at Dee Why as tiny lines courtesy of a 1.6 m, 8-second SSE wind swell showed at the point and Kiddies. It looked to be in the knee to maybe waist high range, but there were only a tiny number of hopefuls in the water, so I didn’t see anyone catch one. Tide is currently dropping to the low at 1030. It’ll be back to the high at 1650.
The NW breeze should pick up during the morning before swinging NE in the afternoon. From the look of the swell prediction models and the MHL data, the little pulse last night will gradually fade as the day goes along. And then both the ECM and Wavewatch models show it staying tiny and short period until around Saturday afternoon when they both project a south influx that should increase our surf options through Monday. They’re both projecting dead south with average periods hovering around the 10-sec mark, so choices will be likely be limited to south magnets.
Have a good one!
