Hello Friends,
In for another cloudy one with a high chance of rainfall (although it should be spotty and light). It’ll be warm too, which makes the feeble looking east swell all that much more annoying. It’s currently showing around two meters out at sea, but the average period is only around 7 seconds. Next tide is a high at about 1020, with the low coming along a little after 1700.
Once again, Dee Why was utterly unpopulated for the early. The wind was NNE at 15-20kts, so the waist to knee high little lines were looking pretty shabby.
Ah well. So it goes some days, eh?
Go well!
Taking an idea from our occasional guest reporter the NorCal Surfer girl, herewith a short video to give you a feel for the conditions at Curly when the picture below was taken.

A shot from Curly this morning where a small crew were working the very short little lefts and rights in comparatively clean but very high tide conditions.
