Hello Friends,
From the weather forecast last night, I thought it might be cloudy and showery by this morning. But no, it’s really quite nice looking down at Dee Why as a couple metres of south swell at 9 seconds delivers the odd shoulder-head high set. Seemed to be a bit of a wait for them, but it wasn’t too bad. The wind was out of the west to SW around the beaches of Sydney, so I’d say south swell spots ought to be going along pretty nicely. Tide is dropping too and water temperature has climbed to 23 degrees (well, out at the MHL buoy off Sydney anyway).
I’d be getting into it if I could as tomorrow looks as though it might be wind affected thanks to 15-25 kts of s to se’ly.
Will try to check back later today if the schedule permits. Go well!
TIDES: L @1145, H @1800
