Hello Friends,
I’ve displeased the computer gods this morning apparently, hence the rather late post-fixing-issues report. Tide’s just hitting the high as I write this at 1000. Half an hour ago when I grabbed this morning’s snaps, surface conditions were glassy thanks to very light winds. Swell was out of the south at a touch under 2 metres at about 9 seconds apart. That mean typical sets were in the chest to head high range at exposed spots. There are a few bomb sets in the mix too, but we continue to have the issue of no banks.
Curly was getting the size when I went by there, but if you could get in three turns before being picked off, you were doing well. Dee Why point had a hopeful crew waiting around for the odd head high take off, but for the most part I’d be calling it waist to chest plus (occasionally). The south end of the Dee Why-Longy stretch was messy and plagued by endless shutdowns. At Long Reef it was clean but not big enough to excite the bombies and as with the south end, over-served with heaping helpings of closeouts.
NE’r will be on it by around lunch, so time to go is now for the south ends…
Have a great Friday!
