Hello Friends,
Not much happening on Wednesday morning down at Dee Why. Weather’s nice enough, but I couldn’t see anyone in the water. Tide is high at around 0930, so that’s not contributing in a positive manner. Swell is still coming from the SSE. It’s about a metre out at sea and the average period is up a notch to nearly 10 seconds. So you’d think there should be a little something at south facing spots once that tide recedes.
The wind’s light but due to pick up a bit and wander through the easterly quarters from SE to NE as the day goes along. So maybe north corners later could be a possibility for some low key fun.
Outlook for the next week is pretty much more of the same. But Tugarah is winding up and Yunggoray is on the way and with it gradually warming days and messy, weak surf prospects.
So keep on smilin’ and go well with your day!
TIDES: H @0930, L 1540
