Hello Friends,
A get out there if you can start to the day at Dee Why. Chilly, but sunny and offshore thanks to 11-15 kts of west wind. Set wave faces were head and a bit high on the bigger ones too thanks to a 2 metre SSE (161°), 9-10 sec swell. Tide hit a moderate 1.26 m high at 0715 and is currently dropping back to a 0.5 m low at 1245 – so not much of a swing.
Swell’s expected to dial back a touch across the day, but the more hopeful models see it maybe sticking around into tomorrow morning – albeit with a shorter period and therefore noticeably smaller and weaker sets. Beyond that it would seem we’re in for a stretch of tiny to near flat conditions across next week.
Go well and have yourself a top old day!
