Hello Friends,
Lookin’ pretty small, but not utterly and absolutely flat at Dee Why beach as the Wednesday opened. The morning light had a funny slightly dusty look to it too. Sets at the few functioning low tide peaks were hitting the waist high mark. A cold and stiff westerly was encouraging the keeping of hands in pockets and hoods up. But a clutch of hardy types were not deterred at Dee Why.
The wind is supposed to back off gradually today and the swell is supposed to maintain at around the current weak level for another day. That said, some interpretations of the models are showing a small uptick in energy levels for late Thursday and Friday. We aren’t talking anything too dramatic but there might be the odd shoulder high set at spots with good exposure to the south. But thereafter… well, you probably don’t want to hear about what those models say…
Have yourself a great Wednesday one and all!
