Hello Friends,
Cold and offshore but sunny skies and best of all, 2-3 metres of SSE swell at 9 seconds for this morning’s early risers. At 0700 there were head high sets along the beach at Dee Why and maybe slightly smaller ones at the point. Despite the single digit air temps, there were plenty of folks chasing waves. And from the look of the forecasts, there could well be fun stuff around all day at south swell spots.
From the look of this morning’s swell forecast modelling, today could be the peak for the next week or so. I don’t think it’ll drop to flat right away, so with a bit of luck there’ll be surfable somethings tomorrow and maybe even Sunday morning.
Go well one and all!
TIDES: H @0645, L @1230
