Hello Friends,
High tide at about 0900 and swell is out of the east at about a metre. Period’s close to 9 seconds, so there are chest high sets showing in the beachbreak of Dee Why. There should be a fair number of places lighting up with this particular combo. Wind is light for the early, but is set to swing from the NE to SE. Water temp offshore is about 23 degrees too. Felt nice when I went for a dip at the point yesterday, so it should be good again today.
Fair number of bods in the water at Dee Why, but it’s not looking crazy or anything. From looking around yesterday, that seemed to be the pattern, ie, fair numbers in the water, but not exceptionally busy.
You’ll want to make an effort today though, because the models are all showing the waves disappearing pretty much over the next few days.
I’ll be sending postcards from across the pond over the next two weeks as I’m off to celebrate my dear old Dad’s 90th.
Have yourself a good one!
