Hello Friends,

Waves around this morning and the wind wasn’t beating it up at Dee Why as of 0800. Wind is due to be a factor though. Sets in the beachy were head high plus and the point was showing maybe shoulder high. I’d expect some bomb sets to be in the mix because the buoy is currently swell + sea heights of 4 metres and there is some 10 sec period stuff in amongst the 9 sec waves.

Surf prospects for the next few days look okayish to me. Not great maybe, but it shouldn’t take a lot of internal dialogue to get you into the water if you’re even remotely stoked. Beyond that, things are really looking interesting. A substantial region of fetch is showing on the model projections for this weekend. It looks as though it will push down from the north and start washing the east coast with swell from late Saturday through Monday. If you have a fave east swell spot, might be a plan to book yourself some time to check it on Sunday and Monday. Usual caveats apply: these are computer model projections. They get it right most, but not all of the time.

High tide’s set to arrive around 0854 and low will come along at 1417.
