Hello Friends,
0920: Update for ya. Did the Manly run this morning and grabbed a few more piccies of the activity. Like Dee Why, both places are pretty inconsistent, but that said, the quality was definitely better at the southern locations. Sets were in the chest plus range and although most of the waves were spilling more than plunging, I saw a few sections I wouldn’t have objected to at all. Wind was not a factor. If you can, it could be worth a look around.
A few snaps…
0750: Another grey and relatively glassy morning with little just-surfable lumps in the knee to waist high range. We have a mix of SSW and NE wind swells at work and the consequence at Dee Why this morning for the early was rather inconsistent and not terribly punchy looking little waves. There seemed to be a few folks up the beach, but no waves came through for them while I watched.
Wind is very light for now and supposed to go NE later in the morning, but not get up to much.
We’re still expected to see an increase in average period – but not swell height – tomorrow, so with any luck it’ll dial up over the present weak and inconsistent marginal conditions.
Longer term outlook remains marginal for the next week plus. Still, we are another day closer to those magical autumnal sessions…
Have a great day!
Tides: L @0950, H @1545
