Still big this morning

Hello Friends, As of 0730, wind was NNW at 5-6 kts under partly cloudy skies and air temp was 10 C. Swell was still marching in too, with double overhead sets shutting down Dee Why point every now and then. Out at sea the waverider buoys were detecting a mix of 9-13 second 2-3 metre […]

Hello Friends, And the swell continues to thunder in. It was raw and 1.5x-2x overhead at Dee Why point. Quality was so-so, but there was no lack of power. Tide was low at 0640, so the morning session will have a bit of tidal push too as it comes into the modest 1.34 m high […]

Both those places were surprisingly weak looking and unimpressive at this stage of the swell, plus the water looked pretty ordinary (beach watch is warning pollution possible).
