"Stay happy and you'll be perfectly fine" - Jack Norris

Hello Friends,

High overcast this morning, wind was light from the NNW as of 0900. Yesterday’s swell looked like it might last into another day, but at least where Dee Why’s concerned, it’s faded away. Out at sea heights were still a respectable 1.7 metres and period’s a useful 12 seconds. Swell is coming from the SSE (164°). On the numbers, there should be some chest high sets at magnets. So, not quite sure why it was so quiet at Dee Why. A lull maybe? Might get out on the pushy for a look later…
Stay safe everyone.

 

By Order of the Federal Government, our beaches are open for exercise only – surfing, swimming, running and walking.  Beaches will be closed due to unsafe conditions and or mass gatherings. All pools are closed at this time.

Please see some commonly asked questions about the beach closures.

If people are sunbaking or gathering on the beach, they will be asked to move along by our lifeguards, rangers or the police.

Due to the risk of Coronavirus and acting on direction of NSW and Federal Governments, Council has closed many public areas. View the latest updates on the evolving situation with Coronavirus (COVID-19).

In addition, it is against the law to gather with more than two people in public, except:

  • for members of the same household
  • where the gathering is essential for work or education
  • If you go out, stay 1.5 metres away from other people at all times.

The rules are also now enforceable and Police are issuing fines of $1000 for individuals and $5000 for companies. These are difficult circumstances and we appreciate your patience and understanding.
