Hello Friends,
As expected, the swell has dropped quite a bit overnight, but it’s far from flat. Coming from the SE at about 1.5 metres and with a period of 9 seconds, waves are in the chest high range along Dee Why beach and mostly a bit smaller for the healthy crew at the point. Tide was low at around 0740, so this morning should see a bit of tidal push to the swell.
However, the NE’r is due to rise soon and once that happens, it’ll be up to the north corners for the remaining scraps of swell.
Have yourself a great Sunday!
