"Stay happy and you'll be perfectly fine" - Jack Norris

Bumping along again


Hello Friends,

Not much going on at the beach this morning, but if you had a mal or equivalent, there were catchable little things coming along every once in awhile at Dee Why. Swell is coming from the SSE at about 8 seconds apart. Average height at sea is 1.4 metres as of 0500, but there are some 2.4 metre bumps out there too, so you might see the odd chest high bomb at focusing spots.

There were a number of folk in the water at Dee Why as the morning kicked off, but it wasn’t exactly busy. The high overcast was dulling the colour, but there was almost no wind inshore, so they were catching glassy ones.

The NE’r is due to kick in by this afternoon, so north corners that like a bit of this swell direction will be the go.

Tide is low at 0805 and will be high at 1410.

Have yourself a fine Friday!
