Hello Friends,
Nothing much going on this morning at Dee Why. Pretty much in line with expectations really. Wind is ramping up from the NW and by this afternoon it should be 20-30 kts. Unfortunately it won’t be accompanied by much of anything in the way of waves today. But a change is coming.
The latest advice from the Bureau this morning is that we should see the energy levels heading up from tomorrow. And if some of the swell forecast models have anything to do with reality, we could have a steady supply of swell energy – albeit with a lot of SW wind – from Saturday into the middle of next week.
Fingers crossed!
Hey, and don’t forget the…
