Hello Friends,
We stagger on through the flatness. This morning sees the horizon just as smooth as ever and down at Dee Why only a fleck or two of white along the rocks at the point. Sadly, there’s nothing in the forecast to give us hope of an improvement today.
The prospects of a little bump for the weekend seem to be about the same as yesterday. There’s a consensus amongst the swell forecasters that we should get something in the waist to chest plus range for Saturday. With luck it’ll last into Sunday morning.
Have a great day everyone!
