Hello Friends,
Swell has faded overnight as expected but there were still a few waist to chest plus sets turning up between the lulls. The grey skies and slight chill to the air seem to have decreased the crowds at Dee Why. Only a few people at the point sitting out the long waits for waves and a lot fewer along the beach too. Swell at sea has dropped to 1.4 metres at 11 seconds from 178° (dead south). Water is 21C and next tide is a low at 1300.
From the shape of the forecast models today could be the last day with the odd good wave for some time. If they have it right, coastal exercisers are in for beach walking and swimming but no surfing for the rest of the week.
Go well, stay safe and wash your hands!
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.
