Hello Friends,
Through the night I kept thinking I was hearing wave energy, but I thought “that can’t be…surely…” This morning reveals that it had indeed come up – and by quite a bit. Swell is out of the SSE at 3 metres with an average period just shy of 10 seconds. The point is showing chest to head high plusses and the beach is head to overhead and a bit. However, the former is super crowded and the latter is 99% shutdowns. So you’ll want to be extremely patient.
Oh, and getting a park? You can probably count on more frustration because Australia Day festivities are in full swing down at Dee Why. The beach front is closed off and the carpark looks super busy.
Tide’s dropping to a low at 1115.
A few early drops of rain but early crew are getting favourable SW breezes. It should be light SE later and through the day.
Swell is set to back off across the day, but should be sticking around at okay size the whole time. Latest modelling then has it dropping back into the usual waist high indifference tomorrow and beyond.
Have a great Australia Day peoples!
