Hello Friends,
The picture tells the story. No waves to speak of for Dee Why this morning. Out at sea the buoys were seeing a metre of 11 second SSE bump. Tide was low at 0655 and is currently heading to a swampy 1.7 m high at 1330. Weather should be partly cloudy with a high of 25C. Ocean’s still on 19C and beachwatch was warning that pollution is possible at Collaroy, Longy, DY, Curly and Queenscliff yesterday morning.
Today’s Goat day, so as always, I’m keen to see what he thinks of our surf prospects for next week. For what it’s worth, I’m cautiously hopeful for protected south corners in a few days…
Go well with your day and pack the mask for when you’re inside.
