Hello Friends,
Well, the hopeful forecasts for something surfable this morning don’t seem to have panned out. At least the smoke haze isn’t as bad. Wind was light NW at 0730 and swell at sea was a metre from the dead south at 12 seconds according to the MHL data from 0600. As the picture shows, it was pretty close to flat at the Dee Why end. Given the period, there could still be the very occasional waist high bump at optimal exposures, but that’s about it.
If you’re wondering how the prospects of a wave look for the coming week, then may I refer you to that most steadfast of steadfest surf prognosticators, the Mighty Goat.
Go well with your Friday!
