Hello Friends,
An autumnal NW greeted me as I climbed aloft to the crows nest to see what the ocean was doing this morning. Not much at Dee Why as you can see from my picture. A little cluster of mal riders near the rocks at the point and another hopeful punter inside at the beachy. But nothing surfable came in while I was watching. The MHL spectra page for Sydney shows a NE wind swell of about 1.5 metres at 7 seconds. The remnants of yesterday arvo’s powering NE’r no doubt. So, if you are keen, I’d be making for my fave NE spot this morning to see if I could pick up a little something. It’s going to be a warm one in Sydney today, and there could be an afternoon storm. The NW should become more northerly and back off a bit as the day goes along.
The next week continues to look pretty ordinary surfwise, so if you can score a little something today, that’d be a good thing.
Go well!
