Hello Friends,
Swell faded pretty abruptly yesterday and this morning sees small to very small conditions. It’s looking like waist high with the odd bigger one at Dee Why beach. The little windswell is coming out of the NE and the breeze was light early, so there just may be spots with better exposure that are a bit bigger.
Tide notwithstanding, the plan is to go asap because a S-SE change is coming through soon and once that happens, I’d say the surf options will diminish pretty severely across the middle part of the day. The change may bring some improvement to size at beaches copping the brunt of the wind, so there could be some messy onshore wind waves for the late.
Although surf quality is only so-so, the water’s warming up nicely and for that reason alone it’s worth just going for a paddle.
Have yourself a great day!
