Hello Friends,
Wind was light from the west under sunny skies at Dee Why this morning – and there were still waves from the pulse that filled in yesterday afternoon. Swell was 1.5 metres from the SSE at 9 seconds apart. Tide’ll be high at 1045, so the incoming push is probably helping too. There were a fair number of folk in the water at the point and up the beach. Set wave faces were in the waist to chest range with the occasional plus.
Looking at the buoy data from down the coast, I reckon it’d be a plan to hit it asap because it wouldn’t surprise me if if was noticeably smaller by close of play this evening.
Tomorrow and Thursday aren’t looking terribly interesting on the models, but they’re still showing an interesting pulse on Friday. The SSW wind call looks okay too for spots like Dee Why. Size could be into the shoulder plus range on the sets.
Have yourself a great Tuesday one and all!
